Great episode, Kate. Would be even better if the show notes could link to the paintings and drawings discussed.

I tried Mel Robbins’ self-help mantra for a week – now I’m angrier than ever Trying to detach myself from my justified anger left me frustrated and disempowered

β€œBugger off! The reason everyone was so stressed was because they were making redundancies and slashing departmental funding to the bone. How was mindfulness going to help with that?”

Quote of the week from @k8lister.bsky.social β€œ[university] staff sat in a lecture hall while an expert on mindfulness explained that the reason we were all so stressed was because we were allowing ourselves to become so.” 1/2

I just chipped in to fund a top secret stunt calling out Elon Musk - and telling him to butt out of UK politics. Will you join me?

I'm now also @cpjobling65@social.vivaldi.net (social.vivaldi.net/@cpjobling65) - a Mastadon server. So I have a bolt-hole when BlueSky goes bad.

If you’re posting or reposting about Trump or Musk I’m unfollowing you. It’s not personal. I need to look after my mental health.

Academia is no longer a happy place for staff or students. I’m glad that I can leave and grieve for those who can’t.

Nice to visit #LTHEchat but I don’t think that I’ll be back. Quoting Roger Murtaugh … β€œI’m too old for this …..”

Q6. What role do students play in uncovering and addressing the Hidden Curriculum, and how can they be empowered in this process? #LTHEchat

Program directors - the role that institutions keep on giving responsibility to without power, reward or recognition. It’s a job I encourage my colleagues to say no to. #LTHEchat

Participating in #LTHEchat makes me feel like a fraud. I’m glad that I’m retiring after nearly 40 years - and I’m sure that my students will be too.

A1 hidden curriculum is new to me. Shouldn’t be after 39 years on the job. #LTHEchat
