Today was my last official day of employment as a Lecturer in Modern English at the University of Groningen. 1.5 years of Dutch living. I’m a jobless academic now going back to England. Desperate for any #academic #teaching role, #postdoc or any #writingopportunity

I Gave You Eyes and You Looked Toward Darkness is so far my best read of 2025. A fever-dream folk horror story with allusions to One Hundred Years of Solitude, witches, devils, the Spanish Civil War. Generations of women in a whispery poetic cacophony. Always looking for new #witchstories

I've gained a lot of new followers this week, so let me introduce myself. 👋 Researching Sylvia Plath, witches, post-war American literature, ecocriticism, and occasionally Taylor Swift. Hungarian by birth, at the moment in the Netherlands, but also in England. Red lip classic, poetry, cooking, gym.

I swear I don’t find the research, it finds me: Freud’s Tarock packs, likely similar to Plath’s cards mentioned in “Daddy”: “With my gipsy ancestress and my weird luck / And my Taroc pack and my Taroc pack”

Perks of having a mum working in the theatre: free theatre tickets… I just saw a really engaging play called 3 Winters about a 3 generations of Croatian family navigating life through WW2, Yugoslavia, and joining to the EU. Plus my dad just came back with giant doughnuts from Slovenia!

Some weeks ago I got an email from someone who read my interview in the Hungarian Glamour online magazine about Sylvia Plath from last year. Csongor Palotás had a new translation of Plath's poems, and he wanted to send me copy. Today, I arrived to Hungary and this was waiting for me. #SylviaPlath
