If you made it through the flood waters on the South Mall in Cork City this morning - it was thanks to Sylvia and her brush 👍

Enough with the chitchat on the floor after the judges have spoken - judges have the last word, contestants should just go - it’s diluting the chat with JoJo upstairs. #SCD #StrictlyComeDancing #Strictly

The blueskiest bluesky thing is 400+ quote tweets, each of them individually pointing out that Shakespeare didn't write in Olde English but honestly R&J isn't even a good fit for Eggers, he needs Jacobean tragedy, give this man the Revenger's Tragedy or Women Beware Women and I would be SEATED

Just finished Graham Greene’s The Quiet American (for work), and for fun reading Dead Beat, the latest in Leigh Bardugo’s supernatural #DarkAcademia series! 💙📚 #BookSky

The pale grey cover for “Dead Beat” shows a pale barn owl with its head tilted to one side, and its beak is clasped around the “A” in the word “Dead”. Beneath the author’s name is the declaration “the number one bestselling author”.

Yes, please do this people! I was surprised how hard it was to find up-to-date info and contact details for scholars when I was editing collections in recent years. Ended up doing quite a bit of detective work on occasion 🕵️

Attending this superb online conference and I highly recommend it to scholars interested in #adaptation #series #remakes #screen media - such rich papers and discussions, and that’s just the first panel!

I don’t know PC Pete, why would a man accused of murder point out that he wasn’t anywhere near the murdered faithful Janet?! - The lack of common sense, never mind detective skills, is just mind blowing! #TraitorsIRL #TheTraitors #Traitors

Just a reminder that there's a Will Shakespeare miniseries from the heyday of BBC historicals starring Tim Curry as Shakespeare and Ian McShane as Marlowe, and it's on youtube: www.youtube.com/watch?v=hpxC...
