I was wondering if the BS here was Bratislava and now I'm worried my bottle is 13 years out of date!

Is it... too small? 🫠

I just got some GOOD job news, which I'm not allowed discuss... but if you see me in a professional context there will be signs I am returning to full time academic employment.

Picture below of me, checking people in at the @swip-i.bsky.social conference in Maynooth, dripping in Bottega.

Was going to make a joke about stretching my credentials for various job applications but I really just wanna show this giant earthworm my 5-yr-old and I found stretching up an absolute storm earlier.
Look at!

Spooky scenes! a few other ghouls about too...

She was weirdly worried someone was going to make her vote and she didn't have a dragon pen.

Category is:
Wikipedia entries that really seem like theyre actually about hard to reach trains but aren't.

One for @heliolithic.bsky.social (unbelievably, Niamh has asked for this as a Halloween costume... where to start?)

Thirdly, you can have the best people on earth working in these roles, but without proper infrastructure/spaces, they can't fulfil potential/discharge proper care. I queued for D&C surgery alongside ppl awaiting delivery, could hear babies cry when I woke up from surgery.

The second was to take your knowledge of your body seriously. I knew my dates and my cycle well, but when things weren't measuring right, I let myself believe that I'd got the dates and my cycle length wrong. Looking back, I could have spared myself some pain here if I believed myself.

My first insight is that, for those of us who had our first babies in the height of COVID, a normalisation of isolated fertility care set in that was hard to shake. Years later, I went in for my miscarriage surgery alone, because I genuinely didn't think to ask if I could bring my husband.

Nice. It does feel a bit emblematic of the landlord-cum-politician issue in Ireland.

Dropped this off to a pal's baby today.
I hope its proportions are actually less weird than they look here.
Had a bad few months of knitting... hope I'm back in the swing now.

Finally... as Ben Davies and I argue in a new paper about baby feeding... as one of the most sustained and intense interactions families have with public health and institutions, pregnancy and postnatal care are especially vital in the battle for public trust in science and medicine.

I discussed the weird hostility to trust as a part of scientific method that RFK keeps pedaling, Trump's irresponsible "tough it out" framing of pregnant pain and fever, the anti-science elements of current "wellness" influencing...

I think of that video of Miyazaki (studio ghibli fame) reacting to AI animation very often.

Morning, doves. 🥰

My son is called Colm, the Irish word for dove/pigeon.

Can't move for Colms here this morning.

Today, academics, ask yourself:

Am I bringing enough of a Flann O'Brien energy to my R&R work?

Morning scenes...

Still shorts and t shirt weather, and the last days of creche before big school 🥲

And... trying to do 15 minutes of piano after drop off before work
