Art, architecture, cities, Japan, street art, cats, literature, film. And food.
Academic.
Views are my own.
- Finally going to see One Battle After Another today: wheeeee!
- It’s nearly a year since my Night Shift colleagues and I submitted a paper to a journal (April 2025), then revised along the lines suggested and re-submitted (in Oct), then today received an acceptance (with a few more revisions optional)… academic publishing sometimes moves slowly hey… #AcademicSky
- Reposted by Alison YoungI am really angry about all of the scientists who cozied up to Epstein even after it was known who he was. I am nearly as angry at how many people are justifying this as "they had to, it's how academia works" NO IT FUCKING WELL ISN'T
- Ugh. This is climate change:
- Graffiti, Firenze #vivagaza
- My current office, in one of the spaces for visiting fellows at the Scuola Normale Superiore in the Palazzo Strozzi, Firenze
- So terrifying that this not made up.
- The cafe/bar of my one of my favourite public libraries in the world, the Biblioteca Delle Oblate in Firenze.
- Waiting for the storm, Firenze (on a day of a national general strike).
- Not only dreaming spires, but tagging ‘SPIRE’ #oxford
- Library life:
- I love me a nice library
- In Oxford, far right nationalists on one side of the road, and anti-racism protesters on the other…Cops in the middle of the road.

- Just throwing this out there but is Tixel a scam? I sold two concert tix through the site and they’re now claiming there’s an error in my account and payment can’t be made, and there’s no way of emailing them and only a bot to answer queries… #tixel

- Worried about the electorate of Melbourne now…#auspol
- Can’t believe Dutton has the nerve to invoke this year’s ANZAC Day after neo-Nazis hijacked the Welcome to Country, creating an opportunity for Dutton to criticise Welcomes as ‘divisive’. It’s not really a gracious speech, he was always a cruel and opportunistic politician #BinNight
- Loving all the potato masher and baked potato imagery on this site #auspol
- I’m enjoying the ‘Peter Dutton has lost his seat’ narrative but would also like it if we could have a bit of ‘Ali France has won, what a triumph’ #auspol
- Exhaling with relief, and just starting to acknowledge how scared I was that the result would go the other way #auspol
- ‘Very few Liberal supports have shown up’ says the reporter at the Liberal HQ lol lol lol #auspol
- The powerful white guy Liberal just said on the ABC that conservatives are getting de-platformed 🤣😂🤣😂🤣 #auspol
- May Peter Dutton join Howard and Abbott as leaders whose seat fell out of their pants #auspol
- Chalmers is twirling in his seat with delight #auspol #electionnight
- Reposted by Alison YoungA vote for The Thug is also a vote for the most witless, vacuous, incompetent front bench in living memory: Angus Taylor, Sussssan Ley, Barnaby Joyce, Jane Hume, Michaelia Cash, James Paterson…what an appalling thought.
- I’ve had it up to my eyeballs with Harry Fong and his Trumpet of Idiots text messages #auspol
- I’m in Vancouver and HBO is on the hotel TV, so last night I watched The Last of Us and hoooooweeee so intense so intense so intense. #TheLastOfUs
- Just finished #AllFours by #MirandaJuly and feeling as though a layer has been peeled away from the surface of the world.
- Great to participate in a panel with law and humanities/urban studies scholars at the ICUA in Vancouver today #AcademicSky
