Just filled out two online forms - an academic submission site and a trade publisher site - asking for the submitter's Twitter account, but no space to share other social media accounts like bsky. Friendly reminder that if you have backend control of these types of forms you can change this!

very much looking forward to reading your book!

plough keep sea, right? given Glass Cow

but then I guess the concept of extending respect to women is a foreign concept to these people

hell I'm as white as they come and aunt is used as a term of respect for a swathe of older women with a close but non-related connection to my family...

Of course, you are gods anointed, no mortal can judge you.

do enjoy the sections of the archives where the Foreign Office gets all in a tizzy about 'all states' because that might be read as tacit recognition of East Germany...

I think is a cultural humour difference - to me it is clear that the first post is meant to be overly sarcastic, like I read it as pointing to the absurdity of the article, but also I get why people aren't reading that from the post

Graphic shows % of universities undertaking various cost cutting measures, comparing spring 2024 with spring 2025. Course closures, cutting optional modules, compulsory redundancies, and department closures have all surged

I’m old enough to remember when everybody agreed that higher education was a “market” and offering “choice” was how the universities were meant to grow

probably see bundles, like you cant do English or History you can do 'humanities'

so apparently we changed clocks to day... thankfully most clocka change themselves these days because i missed that one

they want us to call them racist, they like that fight, but call them pathetic and they really do get annoyed

honestly think we need to make more of these people being pathetic losers as well as racist shitstains

Sarah you watch too much TV, like aside from the racism (which is the main issue here) who is getting this upset about adverts!!!

Remember guys, @pcsunion.bsky.social staff at the BL are on strike for the next two weeks. Please don't cross the picket line to go to reading rooms, attend exhibitions or anything else. They've endured so much on low pay since the cyberattack in 2023 and the least we can do is have their backs now.

she actually have to win a primary this time round so even if she stands based on past performance (2020) the chance she wins the nomination is slim

as its that day, will watch Henry V tonight, and celebrate that paragon of Englishness, born in Wales, ethnically French and married to a French woman, to be fair today is about stealing another peoples country from them and that is a quintisentially English thing to do.

at the start of my Fellowship at Northumbria I got 5k and oh my god was it amazing, give me that every 3-5 years and itd basically cover 90% of my research needs AND cost less than the time i currently spend applying for grants i dont win

100% i need at most a few grand for archival and library work and not even every year

although also to be honest I think the 'labour are in trouble' narrative is a tad overblown - yes Starmer has fucked things given how dire things look less than 18 months after a massive victory but the GE is still nearly 4 years away so 'electoral pacts' to keep Reform out are premature

[although to be perfectly honest I'm anti electoral pacts in general unless its standing as a formal alliance - voters deserve a choice]

yes as a green party member I don't actually see why at this point we should form an electoral coalition with Labour - the Lib Dems sure but given Labour's hostility to Green issues and voters there needs to be some effort on Labour's part if they want some sort of pact (granted still a big if)

This was such a problem in 2010 - an arrogant assumption that *obviously* the Lib Dems would bail them out, despite the disdain the party was shown. There does need to be some wooing.

This is a paragraph that should make you sick to your stomach.

This is the end, spelled out.

used to volunteer for a Red Cross shop and sorting the donation bags was one of my main jobs, it was horrifying what some people 'donated', some of the clothes were in such a state that we had to dump the whole bag they were that badly contaminated
