funky trainers ftw! In London, people won't care/will assume you're travelling to work in comfort and will change into your "school shoes" when you get there 😊

I'm still mulling over 'pull-on trousers', which I keep seeing on online shops. How else does one get into them?

Publisher's blurb: In this unique history, you will discover how ill health has been with us for as long as humans have existed, as has the drive to treat and understand it.

I... can't say I ever assumed otherwise 🤨

Was about to get myself some breakfast, but then a plumber turned up to fix the tap, so I want to stay out of his perception. This is, like, the opposite of a porn set-up 😅 :blobcatace:

Just overheard some woman on the TV (GBeebies, I suspect) being all like 'they should teach the children how to deal with the heat by wearing hats, in my day we went to school when it was hot and we didn't even have water bottles like they do now.'

IT WASN'T 30 PLUS DEGREES THEN, YOU ABSOLUTE HAMMOCK.

Goodnight, sweet Toby (2010-2026). No amount of time with you could ever have been enough and I already miss you so much.

I think we're having Toby put down today. Even though it's the right thing to do – he's 16, the vet found a lump on a scan a few weeks ago, and now he's not eating, which was his favourite thing – I'm in bits.

He's been part of my whole adult life (we adopted him the September after I graduated) and a consistently good and pure thing about living at home all this time. A world without this loving, weird little guy in it feels inhospitable.

The Huffpost AI Trojan horse history lecturer... I'm in two minds. Like, I agree with him that university is about learning to think critically, and that young people are being told AI is the future, so why wouldn't they assume they can use it for assignments. Heck, I have a history doctorate and the thing about my thesis I'm proudest of is the amount of thought I put in. I really struggled with teaching disengaged first-years on a compulsory survey course. 1/?
