This is awful. Sympathy and solidarity to my trans and nonbinary friends. To those in Labour who think the matter is now closed, you have no idea how badly you've screwed up. This is your Section 28. And to everyone else, if you think you saw someone going into the "wrong" toilets, no you didn't.

My university's new visual branding, because they've screwed around with the coat of arms for no reason, and I've been a heraldry enthusiast since I was about 12. (It's not just a logo, it's a serious thing bestowed by the Sovereign, and you're not supposed to randomly swap bits of it round.)

I'm a maths lecturer, but I'm not sure that really counts.

There's a nice little independent crowd-funded publisher, called the Pound Project, whose books I sometimes buy. Their latest title is called "Not Everything Is Urgent", and I just got an email to say that delivery will be slightly delayed. I think that's lovely.

Happy 80th birthday to the great Derek Griffiths!
