#caturday and the dolls are pleased to have the eldest back from Oxford uni for Christmas!

This is such a good point!! 🧀

I just think it’s really sad that the typical working person (or even unemployed person) believe that Reform will be the answer to all their concerns. The role of the wizard in Wicked is such an accurate analogy.

🚨BOOM!! The Petition calling for a public inquiry into Russian influence on UK politics & democracy has now rocketed past 50,000 signatures! Let’s get it to 100,000. If a petition is what it’s going to take let’s get this done! petition.parliament.uk/petitions/74...

“I set a trap to catch my students…” is such a terrible take.

Unnecessary ‘reply all’ should be a sackable offence.

I thought it was too late for roses But these beauties are in my garden!

I was on the registration desk for most of the conference, and a scary number of people said that this was likely to be their last ViCEPHEC. Shrinking departments, closing departments, and removal of conference/travel funds all mentioned multiple times. A brilliant community in a terrible shadow.

Really inspiring keynote from @jacquieosborne.bsky.social at #vicephec25 yesterday, time to mull over her padlet of collective career wisdom now!

Good 👍

The Bernese Oberland really is one of the most beautiful places on Earth. So happy to have had a week’s family holiday there!

We should never underestimate the value of the creative arts. Without this drama (ie. Art) nobody was taking enough notice of this problem. It was the same with the post office scandal. Art is more powerful than any news or policy paper.

Clifford’s Tower looking splendid tonight! @visityork.bsky.social
