Today I spent 13 hours editing my factual book (multilingual families); hyperfocus may be a superpower but also a problem for the aging body as I have hardly moved. I’ve just put a gym weights session, walking, and yoga in the diary for tomorrow! #writersofbluesky @academic-chatter.bsky.social

Yesterday's briefing brought unsettling news. The plan is to merge all four #CardiffUniversity humanities schools into one large school. This new School of Global Humanities would house a Department of Welsh, but the number of jobs would be cut by 50%, from the current 240 FTE staff to 120.
