I strongly dislike the expectation that academics ought to move institutions regularly. We are people with lives who want to put down roots in a place - why on Earth should we be professionally disadvantaged for wanting to build a life in a single city and not move all the time?

These are my teammates. We are Olympic champions. Three of us tried to give birth. Two of us experienced near-death complications. One of us died. We have to, and we will do more. Tori’s death cannot and will not be in vain. time.com/6287392/tori-bowie-…

In #Lent, may we be increasingly concerned with speaking words of comfort, strength, consolation and encouragement, and not words that demean, sadden, anger or show scorn.

Once more for the people at the back - 18th c corsets did not pinch. They moulded to the body. If the actresses are in pain the corset does not fit. metro.co.uk/2023/02/22/netfl…
Netflix, BBC and ITV set to ‘ban’ corsets from period dramas like Bridgerton

Many actresses have spoken about the pain of wearing them.

Tonight is St Brigid's eve so don't forget to leave a cloth or scarf outside to be blessed by the saint as she passes. Known as a 'Bratog Bride' in Irish folklore, this special garment can then be used as a cure for headaches or sore throats #folklore #Ireland #StBrigidsDay

In 1997, Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger, upon turning 70, asked to retire from the CDF & become an archivist & librarian for the Vatican archives. Pope John Paul II told him no. All Joseph Ratzinger wanted was to spend his final years with books… He’d become Pope in 2005.

In a few days, hundreds of thousands of people will begin listening to Catechism in a Year with @frmikeschmitz. And we’re able to do so, because St. John Paul II tasked Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger with compiling it. Prayers for Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI. We owe him a great deal

Watching Muppet Christmas carol with my in laws and probably driving them crazy with my extolling of the costuming in this film. (It's really some of the best historical costuming you'll see, it changes appropriately based on year and class of person, down to the smallest rat).

Ok folks. It’s time we talked about eels. I’m a geologist but I recently learnt about eels and… wow. Since then, I’ve been greeting strangers with ‘DO YOU KNOW ABOUT EELS?!’ Well, consider yourself a stranger in my path. Strap in. It’s a 🧵 1/so many
