This woman has told my story, and the story of all the second generation English born Irish. English in to the Irish and Irish to the English.

Yes it’s mind blowing. My internal dialogue and tune of the day is constant - all day everyday day. I assumed it was the same for everyone!

Delighted to see Ulster Uni Psychology coming in at 7th out of 116 courses in the UK. Rankings aren’t perfect, but it is a fantastic endorsement of our excellent BSc Psychology programme and all my lovely colleagues.

Multiple things can be true at once:

1. Oct 7th was the worst collective trauma Jews have experienced in our lifetimes

2. The war on Gaza is a horror

3. Antisemitism is rising

4. Islamophobia is rising

Those trying to use one of these to cancel others are making things worse

Agreed! Learning styles - no such thing.

Can’t get enough pens, or notebooks. You now need notebooks to go with the pens.

The noise I can, mostly, ignore thanks to tinnitus. It’s the relentless slurry spreading that gets to me.
