I often complain about William Morris patterned tat, but i'll make exceptions for homemade stuff like this Morris inspired cushion cover my mum made me.

Half of this year's Christmas books. The other two were Chris Clark's book on 1848, and Peter McPhee's history of the French Revolution. Looking forward to them all.

Survived a first term. And despite not being 'in academia' anymore also wrote a chapter for a book that's coming out next year. A bit of renewed confidence to end 2024

"Anderson​ offers many criticisms of The Sleepwalkers, my own attempt to make sense of the problem of 1914. The book’s title is wrong, for a start, because the actors of 1914 were awake, not asleep." Yeah, fuck him up Perry

"AI in education" is the latest instantiation of long processes of private enclosure of public ed, extraction of value from edu data, student surveillance, expanding platform power, extension of big tech infrastructures, and, of course, a century or more of very silly ideas about automated teaching.

"The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog."
- Glamorizes hustle culture
- Speciest
- Was taught to you in elementary school

"Sphinx of black quartz, judge my vow."
- Metal as fuck
- Implies that you are a wizard
- No one will know you are testing out a font

Great start to the Book recommendations in the weekly staff/parent email this year, with the Non-fiction suggestion being ... a work of fiction. Great work all round

I'd second this. The intro to my thesis ended up being really quite functional, and better for it. I spent a good while wondering how to hook the reader and then someone reminded me the only people who will read it were already interested in the topic so didn't need enticing! Good luck!

UK wildlife: Plans to help otters safety cross West Sussex roads A special shelf for otters to safely cross the road is being installed under a bridge in West Sussex.

Wasn't aware the numbers of otters in Sussex would warrant a special shelf under a bridge, but very happy to learn these plans are in place www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/ar...

Am I going to buy a copy of the new translation of Marx's Capital?
Am I going to read the new translation of Marx's Capital?
Am I really going to read the new translation of Marx's Capital?
Three questions with perhaps three different answers

there was a 3 part series of articles in Commonweal in 1885 that used the slogan but in different order. Vaguely recall seeing some SDF stuff from 1884 that used it but can't think immediately where

Flicking through some unread books to decide what to read next and alighted on this belter of a 'chapter' from Moby Dick which has settled the decision.
