I think it has just written me at least two lectures. Probably more for @sorchao.bsky.social
That thread is a nightmare! Full of confused American vs British usage of the term “middle class”, people who think it always means “wealthy” and people who think it’s “snobby” to talk about class at all. Was it for this that Pierre Bourdieu died, etc etc? 🫣
Excellent examples of “Good Room”material culture discourse in this thread…

I'm trying a twist on the traditional lemon and sugar pancakes. I'm keeping the lemon but substituting the sugar for tonic water and the pancakes for gin.
Some more Irish language book covers from before 1950
Heavenly kitsch, camp documentary, which is as much a wonderful series of vignettes visiting endearing individuals & eccentrics as a film about their heavenly fashions.
Sadly, a strong content warning is needed for the inclusion of Margaret Thatcher

Here we go again.
We need an “agent of change” principle in this country. They knew there was a club there but skimped on the sound proofing.
This stuff is on purpose. They shouldn’t be rewarded for it. It’s entirely their own fault.
Very pleased to share details of a new permanent academic job opportunity in Creative & Cultural Industries at University College Dublin. We are seeking candidates with a PhD whose work engages with the commercial creative industries. Deadline: 6 March 2026 universityvacancies.com/university-c....
The Declaration of Independence was set in Caslon. Ben Franklin recommended the typeface specifically so King George would have no trouble reading the text. Type choice as diplomatic aggression.
My first 100 Buildings piece for 2026 as part of my series for @rte.ie Culture is on an often-overlooked structures - the humble lampstandard. Read about a pair of rare 1940s concrete Art Deco ones in Co.Meath. Huge thanks to @fleshandcircuit.bsky.social for her photos

I appreciate that anyone anywhere the Dodder is aware at this stage that it's quite high today but still I found it nice that this single-purpose website exists:
Is the Dodder too high to get across the stepping stones in Bushy Park? Currently: yes

First saw this on a tube at 6am while I was on the way to pick up slides from an overnight photo processing place for a lecture at 10am that I had stayed up all night writing. Shot to the heart.
There‘s a lot you can still pitch to me and I may share another list soon but right now I‘m particularly interested in the following shows. Please read the call carefully, these are:
- (short!) monographs only
- single authored (2 co-authorship possible)
- academic books on a fairly low royalty
