When you awake bolt upright and MUST KNOW IMMEDIATELY who invented the hinge 🤓🚪
Donning my white sox today
A very happy 70th birthday to Adam Ant, born as Stuart Goddard in Marylebone, London on this day in 1954. It's easy to lay down and hide, where's the warrior without his pride?
Thanks @AdamCSchembri and @DrRosamundOates for publishing historical work in the most recent Newsli from ASLI! Discussed it this morning at virtual #BSL tutoring with @PeterBr92242281 and @LinZ_PhD🙌
Finally learned one of my research gifts is to work in a domain I don't know as well as my own, and discover/solve things that the presumed knowers were too confident to look up
Just described my superpower
Can any colleagues at @HOGGroup or @Geology_History or @RUGeoMuseum point me toward a source that could help me identify the contents of this Cargille mineral specimen kit? From the estate of a 92 y/o geologist who recently passed away. All boxes numbered 1-55 are here + extras
What what? Poet, scholar, and legend Dot Miles is the Google Doodle!!!! #BSL #ASL #deafhistory
I got to voice the term "overhead projector" today. Younger #1ntSL team was duly impressed
Just did a gig with 2 other ♀ #1ntSL #interpredemics and turns out we have all sync'ed our RID CEU cycles 📅 👩🏫 💪
A 22-year old person just had to write something down for me to keep AND HE ASKED ME IF I COULD READ CURSIVE
PhDs who have exited academia: any regrets? Inquiring minds (of PhDs still in academe) want to know.

Relay chuchotage brilliantly captured. #1nt (Picture taken at excellent visit to Kanzlerbungalow in Bonn today. More pics in comment.)
Every morning after I've had a programme on @BBCTwo my inbox gets delightfully full of messages from men who didn't like my lipstick. It makes me feel like it's 1922 and I'm being castigated by Captain Hastings for being 'fast'.
