I don’t quite agree with all of this but this part killed me: ‘My friends who pursued academic careers in English – no more apocalyptically disillusioned class of person exists – feel they are heirs to a ruined inheritance.’

I am baffled by some of the unevidenced leaps higher ed institutions are making toward AI. CalState and Ohio St. are acting nuts, IMO. www.insidehighered.com/opinion/colu...

World leaders can make as many statements as they like opposing Israel's actions in Gaza. Until they end the sale of weapons to Israel, they remain complicit in the mass murder of Palestinians. Stop arming genocide, now.

Close to TWO THOUSAND academics and educators say TRANS RIGHTS NOW. (Sorry if you've seen this (and the historians' letter!) too many times. The lack of an algorithm means we have to keep reposting it to catch people, and this really matters.)

Having a bookish weekend break! Here’s a picture of Haworth church, with the parsonage in the background, and one of St Mary’s Church, Arkengarthdale, also with its vicarage in the background. The latter is the setting for Sinclair’s novel The Three Sisters. We walked the moors as Gwenda would have.

These posts feel like the best kind of hug! Sinclair was such a great discovery for so many of us last year, myself included.🥰 (Also a shoutout to @greenbowlerhat.bsky.social for all of her fabulous writing on Sinclair.)

The picture that went all wrong. Words by Virigina Woolf. A splodge in the background became standing stones. A horrible owl got painted over by a huge silver moon. Extra hare added to try and balance things. Everything went wrong with this picture but I loved how it came out.

While I am here and while I’m pissed off, vice chancellors should be elected from our own for a fixed term. This isn’t a radical or controversial statement.
