I know right. At least all matches on iPlayer though. Great sport, been good watching it steadily grow in popularity over the last 20y. At least, in this country. Not sure about the other slams?

Welcome to the meta detective work of trying to consume visual media when you have an impaired facial recognition module. From a viewer who frequently thinks a new character has been introduced when someone appears in a different scene wearing a hat. #prosopagnosiaTV #faceBlindness 4/4

I can narrow it down to 3 or 4 suspects because it's a white guy and the cast is decently ethnically diverse. And it won't be one of the several white male minor characters that all look the same to me, because that wouldn't be dramatic enough a reveal. #prosopagnosiaTV #faceBlindness 3/

Can tell by context this is a younger version of someone we know and viewer is obviously supposed to recognise them. Will she help me out by exclaiming "Oh no, I can't belong it was Bob/Tom/etc all along”? She will not. Credits roll. #prosopagnosiaTV #faceBlindness 2/

With best wishes from someone dorky enough to cut and sew together a half LGBTQ+ pride half sunflower lanyard to wear around campus. Because intersectionality, dammit

Yes, I did see that, and all in support of what you're doing for gender identities! Just happened to be thinking about pride flags today, and how the progress pride flag that you and most others have adopted adds race and gender identity to the sexuality rainbow but left out disability.

D/disabled bodies also don't match people's mental image of a person with a doctorate. Suggestion to add a #DisabledPride flag design to your collection? #academicAbleism #disability
