Looks like I’m a historian. Senior Lecturer at UWestminster: wrote a book about the memory of colonialism in Britain and France, and another one about the pitfalls of memory politics in post-WWII Europe. Dogs are better.

It’s been a tough start to the week, but I’ve got some good support to get me through it.

I woke up to the local media’s shock and horror at the crime of stealing the little guy who’s sleeping under the table (by bandits no less). And truly, I feel like whoever decided they needed THAT guy must be really suffering and has problems they need to deal with.

This is my Boxing Day discovery of wrongness. I am obviously triggered.

Me: feeling the cringe as I use brat references with students to seem like I understand them, still prefaced by self-deprecating acknowledgement of being actually OLD and knowing how ridiculous I am. American election campaigns: HOLD MY DRINK
