- Back from my winter holidays (happy 2026!) and reflecting on 2025 professionally, I realize @sotonpolitics.bsky.social, led by @piariggirozzi.bsky.social is still the best department to work in. Still supportive and still wonderful! 💜
- 📚 Fiction books I enjoyed reading in 2025: a much longer list (I read 30) includes books I didn’t enjoy but forced myself to finish, and books that were brilliant but so depressing that I would rather forget them. 📚
