Ugh I wish I could go to this!

Level up! #level34 #happybirthdaytome

My beloved Changeling Order Cleric was disintegrated last night and I am heartbroken. It's ridiculous how much the 'death' of a fictional character can affect you, but that's the beauty of finding a good DM and a good group. RIP Verity Loquendus 💔 #dungeonsanddragons

Look Poe is great BUT FOR THE LOVE OF GOD VOTE STOKER

Grief does weird things to you. I'm struggling to get the motivation up to do anything except the bare minimum. I wonder when that urge will return so I can do the things that give my life colour, as well as the thing I've fought so hard for (the thesis). Oh well.

RtG is one of the best things that exists in the virtual academic space, Sam's work is so important (and such a valuable way to highlight different voices!)

Posted it on all my other socials so might as well throw it here too lol- had my best friend memorialised on my arm forever on Friday 🖤 now Professor Boo is always with me

Do I know anyone with any expertise in or knowledge of 19th century theatre in Brighton? (Please RT if you see this to help it spread)

Pretty sure any postdoc I do is going to be on Aickman, if I have my way.

I've updated the online classes page so you can catch up on videos on spiritualism, Sherlock, Practical Magic and Tarot! And you can find out about upcoming talks on everything from Appalachian folklore to rape-revenge movies to Dorian Gray! romancingthegothic.com/class-schedule…

This is APPALLING. Deciding that English Lit degrees are “no longer viable in the current climate” is a disgrace - English Lit teaches empathy, communication & coherence of argument: what will you take from students by denying the opportunity to study it? bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Reinstalled the cerulean place ✌🏻

Continuing our celebration of the Issue V Book Reviews, today we bring you Han O'Flanagan smaugish.bsky.social’s review of Emily Horton's '21st-Century British Gothic: The Monstrous, Spectral, and Uncanny in Contemporary Fiction.’ gothicnaturejournal.com/wp-content/upl… Edited by the brilliant Jimmy Packham 🍃🍃

Han O'Flanagan smaugish.bsky.social taking a month off to have surgery has driven me to cut off all my hair and dye it green.

Had a great (if fleeting!) time at The Manchester Centre for Gothic Studies #gothiccrossroads today! My eyes have unfortunately told me that they require darkness so I have had to skip out early. Always good to catch up with the assembled goths and talk excitedly about ghosts though 🙏🏻🖤👻
