Shortened leave to remain. Currently, refugees in the UK receive a five-year initial period of leave. In the future this will be reduced significantly. Refugees will instead receive 30 months of leave to remain, which can only be renewed if they are still considered in need of protection. Where protection is no longer needed the person will become liable for removal from the UK. A longer path to settlement. In the future there will be no path to indefinite settled status in the UK on Core Protection, until a refugee has spent 20 years in the country, an increase on the current five years. Settlement requirements will be considered in an upcoming consultation on earned settlement, covering both legal and illegal migrants.

"We will check for spelling (we’re attempting American English throughout), though we note that in the US it’s currently common to use ‘archaeology’ (see Society of American Archaeology) but ‘paleontology’ (see the DC-based The Paleontological Society)."

I've been asked to revise my paper to pick British or American spelling, but as far as I can tell the main divider is that I use 'paleontology' but 'archaeology'

But...I don't want to change either???

Off-topic, but there's something funny to me about 'fuck' being self-censored from this game, but not murder.

So funny when my students cite someone I admire on social media and I'm just like 'ohhoho yes I have something of a parasocial relation with that person 💅'

Genuinely delighted to download a PhD thesis from a university repository where the author has neglected to remove the words "BITCH THIS IS YOUR THESIS" from the filename.

Last night I had this amazing dream that I got a superpower that let me do practically anything I set my mind to. I became great at climbing, I was super smart.

The superpower of my literal dreams, and I wish I was joking, was "focus".

Who *is* this?

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?
