Ready for some LitLing in Sweden? It’s PALA in Uppsala #Usppala To the Stylisticsmobile - and away!
To Sweden on Monday for the @pala2026.bsky.social conference: cooler than here but not cold. I have washed all my favourite clothes so now have to spend the weekend dressed as Dwayne Dibbley
So the ‘leaders’ at UKRI think it’s good politics to remove astrophysics funding from an iconic North West asset, just at the moment that a North West MP becomes prime minister Why are UK managers so utterly unsuited for their well-paid jobs?
All set here @natecommunity.bsky.social with swag and info about the Nottingham Stylistics Toolkit. Come and say hello
Off to NATE conference tomorrow, so no way am I staying up. Am staying off Bluesky too. Am old enough to get this reference. #EngMex
Just arrived! Looking forward to reading this by @neilcohn.bsky.social It looks like it’s about comics (it is) and art (also) but it’s truly about language across all the modalities of speech, writing, gesture and drawing
My excellent colleague Jem Bloomfield and I at the @uonenglish.bsky.social Open Day, covering all shades of English studies today
Apart from this persona, I’m also both a cricketer and footballer, a film actor, an Australian politician, and a former Labour member of the UK parliament. The worst performer was grok intheweights.com
Honoured to have just given the opening talk (online) at the ‘Linguistic Horizons’ conference of Kherson State University, Ukraine. This is me there in 2019 on Vyshyvanka Day
This turned out to be a brilliant collection of hot stylistics. Just look at that cast list! Get a copy into your library forthwith @johnbenjamins.bsky.social
Prof Paul Simpson and the brilliant collection of Stylistics essays in his honour. Everyone involved in the secret is now free to contact him!
A free hit for #Boro, this. If we lose to Hull, fair enough and well done to our Yorkshire neighbours. But after a duplicitous fleeing manager, injuries to key players, cheating and lying, classless opposition players, and justice in the end - we are still here, and We Shall Be Come on Boro!

The Stylistics Special has once again brought me to the @engmediacentre.bsky.social in Waterloo for a day of thinking about anthology teaching in the A-level Lang/Lit. Over there somewhere
