Excellent vibes on the @openuniversity.bsky.social campus for the eclipse! Everyone sharing glasses and chatting - so fun to experience with so many people 🌝 🌚

Weekend vibes.

Please share pictures of your soft (/feathery/scaly) friends to break up the local election coverage. Waffle is not perturbed.

Had a great time chairing the panel Transforming Tragedy: Queer and Gender Politics in Contemporary Adaptations of Greek Drama at #CA26! Great discussions of recent productions and their varied representations of queer and gendered characters. Thanks @openarc.bsky.social for the funding to attend.

Basically the same picture but his eyes are closed and tongue sticking out.

Two years today since we adopted the mighty Waffle! Sweetest and handsomest boy of all time.
