@engineeringstephen it's raining and I crashed into a parked car riding home drunk last night and slept most of the evening where I landed, before going home then staggering in this morning to deal with a bunch of people whining that one of the VAXstations got turned off yesterday by someone looking for a light switch and now their batch jobs which had been running for 6 weeks all have to be restarted, and did they write 2 extra minutes of code to save their state? Noooo course they didn't. So now they all hate me even though as I said, I was drunk and it looked like a light switch, so it was hardly my fault... And I blamed the cleaners anyway. I need another jug of coffee and 3 hours at the Fenton for dinner. Anyone coming or am I on my own?

‘A surfyte of cheese doth bringe payne’: Leeds university transcribes early book on cheese https://www.theguardian.com/food/2025/apr/18/take-it-cheesy-the-fascinating-disgusting-world-of-dairy-curd-in-the-tudor-era #UniversityofLeeds #Historybooks #Lifeandstyle #Culture #Cheese #Books #Food

The University of Leeds has a new blue plaque!!! 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

NB: The title of the plaque was the title of the conference itself at the time. The term transgender wasn't broadly used back then, but it's certainly the term the trans community have adopted & the one that we should be using now.... 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍⚧️

Things I have heard students say this week: "When I'm in my 30s I hope I'm at my prime." "Well I was born in 2004 so..." "The Walking Dead? What's that?" "I think feminism has basically solved everything now so it's a bit outdated." #givemestrength #pgrlife #teaching #seminarleader #universityofleeds

I received an email last wk from a senior colleague inviting me to a seminar regarding teaching. It fell outside of my kiddo's nursery hrs so I replied explaining why I couldn't come. Colleague responded that she saw no reason why that should be barrier & actively encouraged me to come & bring my kiddo. I can't emphasise enough how immensely supportive & wonderful this was. I was so nervous going to the seminar, but everyone I've spoken to since then who was in attendance has told me that they didn't mind and it didn't impact on them negatively. THIS is what inclusive teaching & a supportive working environment looks like. THIS is what parent students NEED if having kids isn't going to be a barrier to education & career progression. Thank you

Someone just poked their head into our office asking where Student Support is. I've sent them to the Ziff, but if it's not there anymore then I have no idea. That building is a landmark. A one-stop-shop for everything. The changes the VC has made to campus are heart-breaking for so many. #SaveTheZiff #UniversityOfLeeds #LeedsUniversityUnion

There are staff/colleagues at the #UniversityOfLeeds who make being a #workingmum a breeze, and then there are others who don't. Shout out to the academic community who has supported and encouraged me since my return to work. As for the rest of you... My tribe is better than yours. ✊​ #momademia #AcademicChatter #academicmastodon #academicmom #phdparent #pgrparent

I have just spent an hour talking to “Falco” the AI bird that we now have to submit our IT requests through and I think I’ve lost the will to live. It wasn’t even that important but it became a point of principle that I had to go through with it and conquer Falco! 🫣😤😮‍💨 #universityofleeds
