Spent the evening reading Alice Munro: 'Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage'. It was surprising, expansive, clever, and compassionate: as with nearly all her work. I'm very glad to live in a world in which she wrote.

@DavidPattie So far mainly Roth (I suggested The Human Stain would've been more appropriate, but he gurgled something to the effect of 'too obvious'), though a Cortazar got a slight side-spray.

My baby recently managed , through force of gas and will from the changing table, manage to excrete over my copy of Philip Roth's The Counterlife. I guess this is his first piece of literary criticism.

I've also resigned from UKRI's Interdisciplinary Assessment College, following Laura's lead. I simply can't/won't give my review time an organisation operating in these conditions.

@Moranfox I find, knowing that I need to wake at 4.45, my brain decides it must wake every 30 minutes, in pure terror that I'll miss the alarm. The delights of cognitive self-torture.

About to head to a visa centre to ask them if my wife can stay in the country with me for a few more years so please lend your energy by clapping and shouting “hostile environment go away”

As ever, Amia Srinivasan provides a critical lucidity and nuance that cuts through the tediousness mud of much of 'free speech in universities' discourse. lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v45/…

From earlier, in the quiet of the park, basking in how we've thought with and though suicide these past two days. My special thanks to the organisers, for curating such a warm and welcoming space. #suicidecultures23

Still in the glow at an extraordinary first day at the Suicide Cultures conference - with a plethora of different disciplinary approaches, exceptional critical thought, and a genuine warmth of atmosphere. A delight to be amongst it all. #suicidecultures23

@noraj_williams I love Nigel, but there was an episode where he spends 10 minutes talking about 'a good jelly and peanut butter sandwich', where it comes down to lots of adjectives and exclamations for 'get nice bread'

@MichaelJLeader Very slightly terrified by how much of my dvd wallet back at home is the exact same.

Had to dig out the DVD for 28 Days Later, which meant unzipping the disc wallet I've been carting around for over 15 years.
