Sorry for never being on Bluesky anymore, BUT I had my first article published @litterariaprag.bsky.social! Here it is, free to read: Radical Reform and the Shock of the Past in Mary Robinson's Vancenza #gothic #C18 #romanticism #academia #womenwriters litterariapragensia.ff.cuni.cz/wp-content/u...

2 brand-new paperbacks for free! (Well—on @waterstones.bsky.social loyalty points.) The Deep Sky as recommended by @lauratisdall.bsky.social; Bridge just because.

More places should do this. I am 100% confident it would generate more sales/borrows than staff recommendation shelves.

A most unprecedented development!

Visit to bestie @ellakirsh.bsky.social at Cambridge this weekend! 14 years ago this term, we missed the last bus back to Oxford and slept on a fellow student's floor. Things have rather improved since.

October's library haul: from philosophical shorts to killing the King, by way of two absorbing chunksters, either of which would make great reading for a long journey ellethinks.wordpress.com/2024/10/28/l...

First day TEACHING undergraduates!! This term and next I'm on the Storytelling module @birkbeckuol. I was pretty nervous but feel overall very positive about tonight's discussion: there was a lovely, lively atmosphere in the room by the end of our 90 mins. Can't wait to do it all again next week!

Love seeing fearmongering, ableist bullshit like this on the Tube 🙃 I've had type I diabetes for nearly 30 years. Still alive and kicking. Living what people like to call a "normal" life. Randox is trying to sell you something by scaring you, and it's beyond gross. #ableism #t1d

Looking back on 2023's American Classics reading project, and announcing a new project for 2024! ellethinks.wordpress.com/2023/12/15/a...

The aim is for my library borrowing data to become entirely unanalysable by either man or machine

(my day job is in startup ops, which = 99% sitting on the floor in my PJs proofreading things, and 1% really fun travel)
