It spoils the story a bit, I know, but do have a look at the community note

@octolingualman @SFPS_UK Thank you ! It was a pleasure… but I am over on Bluesky now. There are no Shein ads, it’s full of academics, and it’s not owned by you-know-who. Come join us !

Delighted to be at the @SFPS_UK conference again. Watching @Yee_Jenn giving a brilliant expansive keynote on colonial French literature, endings and mixophobie/a #sfps2024

Hello ⁦@BadlyParkedOx⁩ this van isn’t actually parked - it drove rather fast the wrong way along Little Clarendon street and then got stuck temporarily. 🙄

Larry for Chancellor of the University of Oxford?

My article on Flaubert and kitsch has come out in @NewLitHist newliteraryhistory.org/current-issue/ so I'm allowing myself a moment of nostalgia for the maddest (but also tastiest) research project of my career: Making Madame Bovary's Wedding Cake. With thanks to @TORCHOxford.

Why did no one tell me about Viking sorceresses when I was a child? My whole career trajectory might have been different. Great podcast. podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/gon…

@Lil_Fontaine_ Congratulations! That’s wonderful news!

And it’s official! 🤗 ed.ac.uk/profile/lillia…
