In an attempt to escape the unspeakable horrors for a couple of hours I think we (royal 'we') should abandon our real work and write about brownstone horror and affect in the criminally underrated psychological horror TV series Servant. Just a suggestion.

I am putting this on a lecture slide.
The answer is 3. I carry 3 packs of wet wipes.
A screenshot showing the new Netflix show "The Feud." The description says that the characters are trying to decide between adding a kitchen extension or moving, and the on-screen text reads "They said we have to let you move our fence one metre."
New genre just dropped: planning application horror.
The entire house was quite something. 😂 The furniture was all black and white, sharp edges, and everything that wasn't glass was inexplicably covered in leather. Walls, cushions, and (vertical) blinds were purple. The 80s hit hard in our home.
Two large 3D art canvases in white, black, and bright purple by the same artist. One of them was an abstract background with a plaster cast of a violin glued onto it, with broken strings hanging down the wall. The other had a plaster Venetian mask with real feathers. Both were slightly terrifying.

We're offering our MA in Heritage and Museum Studies as a two-year degree with placement from next autumn. I'm very happy to talk to anyone interested in taking it: www.essex.ac.uk/courses/PG01...
I support that. I have such a hard time remembering names/dates, I'm worried about how well I'll do when that day comes. But I can do a pub exam. I can also flawlessly execute a country walk in proper attire, procure theatre ice cream AND have time to pee, and catch any Euston train without running.

Thank you! ☺️
🌱 Fully funded PhD scholarship in Environmental Humanities at Ghent University!
A unique opportunity to collaborate with Marco Caracciolo, Elly McCausland, and me on innovative research connecting literature, culture, and ecology.
Yes, back in the UK, in London this time! I like to challenge myself with a brand new, worse housing crisis every few years. Keeps me young.
It is still on the broad/vague side because I started approximately 3 seconds ago, but I will try to be more involved on this platform and would love to connect with anyone working with similar themes, or on anything water/river/waste-related in London!
I will be building on themes from my PhD (queer theory, environmental humanities, monsters and subterranean horror) to go beyond sewers as purely technical infrastructures, approaching them as urban heritage, examining our entanglements with waste and other non-humans in the "sewer ecology."
Bonjour-hi, me again, coming back out of the woodwork because I have Another New Thing. I am just starting an MSCA postdoc fellowship based at UCL with a project titled "Sewer Ecologies: The Hidden Heritage of London's Urban Infrastructure."
Good job at a museum that does a good job.
The TAG 2025 website is up and running, which means we are open for session proposals! Check it out here: tag2025.hosted.york.ac.uk
Keeping an eye on your replies, following everyone writing about horror! There is so much left to explore, I'm really glad you're putting this volume together.
Already looking forward to reading this! We need more archaeological horror.
I have lots of material and a finished paper on zombies and subterranean monsters that I am not ready to delete just yet. It would be great to connect with people starting out their research in horror and archaeology.

I can't stop talking about this season and looking up fan theories and I'm pretty sure everyone is starting to get sick of me but it's so good.
Just saw a farmer say, "you don't have to admit you were wrong, you have to admit you were lied to, " and idk that seems like a good framing to call people in
