She/Her Associate Professor at Warwick. Interested in developmental psycholinguistics, neuroscience, research methods, bee-keeping, Gaeilge, vintage clothing, dressmaking. Pinko lefty woke type but not that fond of tofu.
Pretty standard for pro-AI arguments though: there's an awful lot of "it's really good at all these things I don't know about but I will admit it makes a lot of errors when talking about my particular area of expertise".
Like, they _almost_ get it.
I'm not sure it's even about wanting people to be correct; it often feels like they don't really care about being factual or evidence based, they just want to win.
I'm hoping one day to publish a piece of research on use of plurals in Irish speaking children, called "Banana women and furry men".
Are you wanting to create a paper exam, or do you have a digital platform for the exam? Moodle can do this, but I'm guessing that's not what you want?
Genuinely creepy to be writing a script that you want a female academic to recite for you to make you feel better. Big ick.
What the actual ever living bejeezus? I'm so sorry he did that to you. Completely inappropriate. And honestly, completely misogynistic. Vile.
I hate late stage capitalism. 😢
They're volunteers? Dating apps are big businesses, surely; why don't they pay people to ensure the quality and safety of their service?
I blocked immediately. I don't think they do much about reports, to be honest.
A dating profile: current goal is listed as "handstands in the middle of the room, no wall" and in answer to the prompt "I could probably beat you at... The response is "actually I could just beat you".
I regret to inform you that this is some guy's whole profile and just, what is wrong with him?
I mean let's not get rid of old Miss Marple: it would be an "and", not an "or".
But... but... but it's hairy!
I would genuinely love a Young Miss Marple series, and I wouldn't even complain if they did a Misses Marple/Fisher cross-over episode.
Exactly this. I have read a lot of essays, I am not actually in need of any more; we set essays for their benefit, not ours.
Yeah but International women's day is over now, we can forget women exist for another year!
Well no, we never do. But well done for Doing The Thing.
Owns very sharp knives but no-one ever actually sees them in use?
Attending a Maunday Thursday mass, with the washing of the feet, surrounded by very nice middle class Cathoics who do all their good deeds by direct debit.
Looking at this through Kohlberg's stage theory of moral development, kid has a right to his tooth money, and society is at fault for not making it easier for mythical beings to make cashless payments. Go for it.
And being a refugee. He spent time in small boats too, come to think of it.
Surely people want a closer look at your gorgeous wife rather than the bass?
What does "treading self-consciously" even mean here? This smacks of "I know I went along with the awful TERFs but you see, I personally didn't mean it in my heart so I am still one of the good guys", which, no.
Wow.
Just....
Wow.
A mid century looking light fitting made of copper and translucent perspex, seen in a hallway with white ceiling and teal walls.
A propos of nothing in particular, just because the horrors persist but so must we, this is my new (not new, 1970s danish) light fitting, picked up at auction, and newly installed.
It's a bit Einstürzende Neubaten Lite (complimentary), isn't it?
I will pre-order the whole series right now, I swear to god.

OMG this is very relevant to my interests.
Yesterday I had a bit of a honey tasting, as one of my beekeeping friends brought four different honeys back from holiday. The thyme one was incredible, really herbal!
My very English mother turned down a marriage proposal in India from a man who went on to marry her secret Canadian cousin mum didn't know about, and only met forty years later.
