Academic working on Gender & Language in Greek tragedy, and gender in historical video games. Also a lot of women's cricket chat.

Why not.26 Aug 2026 15:11 +0000at://did:plc:orxrtbkfbrylndv4e6irfbkk/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtyml474rc27https://bsky.app/profile/katexe.bsky.social/post/3mtmlnxwkls2sLook, I'm not saying the endless heatwaves have made me strange about weather or anything... But I might just be spending my evening drinking a glass of wine while standing out in a thunderstorm.21 Aug 2026 20:23 +0000at://did:plc:orxrtbkfbrylndv4e6irfbkk/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtmlnxwkls2shttps://bsky.app/profile/katexe.bsky.social/post/3mtlnoxtdec2dReading historical theory (apparently) for some article revisions, but at least it's the first time in months that it's cool enough to do so on the balcony!21 Aug 2026 11:26 +0000at://did:plc:orxrtbkfbrylndv4e6irfbkk/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtlnoxtdec2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/katexe.bsky.social/post/3mtjfaflsus2qThe weather is so exciting today.

Also an hour of modern tragedies though: I'm really pressing on with this book section, which is nice to be making proper progress on.20 Aug 2026 09:25 +0000at://did:plc:orxrtbkfbrylndv4e6irfbkk/app.bsky.feed.post/3mtiwgtituc2chttps://bsky.app/profile/katexe.bsky.social/post/3mtgik44dbc2lIt's raining!

Be honest about what it is you are actually covering.16 Aug 2026 10:46 +0000at://did:plc:orxrtbkfbrylndv4e6irfbkk/app.bsky.feed.post/3mt6z3clogs2fhttps://bsky.app/profile/katexe.bsky.social/post/3mt4fhxqrhk2xOkay thanks for the automated journal reminder, but I'm pretty sure it's *not* one week until 29 August. I'm quite invested in August lasting as long as it should, thanks.15 Aug 2026 09:49 +0000at://did:plc:orxrtbkfbrylndv4e6irfbkk/app.bsky.feed.post/3mt4fhxqrhk2xhttps://bsky.app/profile/katexe.bsky.social/post/3mt2rf3sf2s24*Literally* just finished warning @chriskempshall.bsky.social about not starting a wildfire (not seriously) and then the govt alert about starting wildfires came through. Very alarming.14 Aug 2026 18:17 +0000at://did:plc:orxrtbkfbrylndv4e6irfbkk/app.bsky.feed.post/3mt2rf3sf2s24https://bsky.app/profile/katexe.bsky.social/post/3mt27yva2rs2tCurrently trying to write about choral (female) solidarity in modern receptions for this afternoon's task; mostly in fact trying not to just write 'it's hot it's hot it's hot.' That'd do for the word count...14 Aug 2026 13:06 +0000at://did:plc:orxrtbkfbrylndv4e6irfbkk/app.bsky.feed.post/3mt27yva2rs2thttps://bsky.app/profile/katexe.bsky.social/post/3msy3ophzi22mOne of the weird things about the efforts needed to keep the sun out of my current modern (quite glass-filled) flat this summer is that I end up contrarily living in quasi darkness all the time.13 Aug 2026 16:44 +0000at://did:plc:orxrtbkfbrylndv4e6irfbkk/app.bsky.feed.post/3msy3ophzi22mhttps://bsky.app/profile/katexe.bsky.social/post/3msxfchctf22mRight. Today's work is mostly looking at what words exist and what actually still needs writing (and what doesn't, given I'm well over on word count) to pull this section into a whole... Plus an AIMS DEI meeting. It's annual conference prep season!13 Aug 2026 10:03 +0000at://did:plc:orxrtbkfbrylndv4e6irfbkk/app.bsky.feed.post/3msxfchctf22mhttps://bsky.app/profile/katexe.bsky.social/post/3msxdmlxpes2mI happened to just get an email about there being tickets left for the eliminator - they are £53! By the time I've bought a train fare as well I'd be looking at nearly £100. It is far too much for a couple of domestic games of cricket... (Especially as I'm only really interested in one).

It's not.12 Aug 2026 12:43 +0000at://did:plc:orxrtbkfbrylndv4e6irfbkk/app.bsky.feed.post/3msv5r2lc7s23
