I am going to teach "the" gender war/s next week in my Language, Gender and Sexuality class and this morning I found this great paper - www.tandfonline.com/doi/epdf/10.... (here in case someone might want to add it too). I am also very butlerian in using a ghost picture in my VLE for that week 👻

I am in Italy and coincidentally i was able to attend the general strike to support people in Gaza. Mine is a small town but at least 1000 people gathered, lots of kids. It was emotional to sing Bella Ciao.

Studying for the "life in the UK test" when teaching what I teach is a whole new experience (of utopia/dystopia). I am now going to read the section "media and the government". My worry is that, during the test, I'll go with what I perceive the 6 to be rather than what's in this book.

Yearly trip to Brighton Comedy Garden😀. It's always a mixed bag of good comedy and okay-ish comedy. But the Barbados-inspired curry was super good.
