I think I'm finally comfortable enough to share this publicly: I've decided not to pursue a career in academia.

We are in a moment in American history where two guys — Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos — own more wealth than the bottom 40% of people in this country. That level of greed and inequality is not only immoral. It is unsustainable.

As a middle class self-employed person, I’ve been handed £1000’s help during this crisis, no questions asked, yet because someone is much poorer, the govt won’t trust them with £30. Really? Are we still having the how dare poor folk might smoke or watch tv as well as eat debate?

Just submitted a revised version of a book chapter on fatness and late eighteenth- and early nineteenth-century visual and material culture, focusing on representations Daniel Lambert, so I thought I'd do a wee thread on it.

My novel, #BrontesMistress, was released to the world today by @AtriaBooks ! This historical novel gives voice to the woman who allegedly corrupted #BranwellBronte and brought down the entire Bronte family. @AMIGHTYBLAZE #amightyblaze #HistoricalFiction

In the #impostersyndrome we discount what we know and inflate what we think other people know. You know more than you think. Others know less than you think. You're not an imposter. #impostersyndrome #phdchat #ECRchat #PhdForum

I always find it unnerving to hear a Victorian speaking. This is amazing
Happy 200th birthday #FlorenceNightingale! Nightingale was a founder of modern nursing & a pioneer statistician, using data from hospitals to illustrate the sources of patient mortality. Below you can see one of her diagrams, along with an 1890 recording. #InternationalNursesDay

Social distance like you’re a regency couple that dare not be closer than 6 ft least you give into your feelings and embrace, thus ruining your reputation beyond repair

In case I need to yell it louder. Libraries that are still open are gatherings of more than 50 people.

Last night my daughter found my book and discovered her own name in the acknowledgments and today she brought it to school to show it off.
So that is a heartwarming story and also a story about how a whole bunch of third graders are going to first encounter the word “queer.”

Introducing Wordsworth Grasmere. We are so excited and proud to share our new brand with you all. This will be taking over from Dove Cottage and the Wordsworth Museum in time for our grand reopening in April! We’ve loved working with the amazing @NISSENRICHARDS on this.

I had chills when Jenny said Ta-Kheru's sister was found in another collection and that the discovery informed a familial narrative for the exhibition. Also a nephew at the Ashmolean! How beautiful. Perhaps one day they can be reunited? #Museums2019
