Fossil fuel extractors fight tooth and nail to prevent market forces from operating. They demand the equivalent of the royal monopolies once granted by the Crown, excluding competitors, enabling old technologies to fend off newer ones. Trump answers the call. www.theguardian.com/environment/...

£16 billion straight down the toilet. Yes, £16 BILLION. Think of what else we could do with the astonishing costs of the Lower Thames Crossing, which will simply worsen congestion and ruin people's quality of life. This week's column. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

A3 torn between capitalism and the patriarchy and 'the government not understanding that education is the foundation of a society and instead of investing in a sector that has a higher ROI than the construction industry they keep cutting' as answer hm #LTHEchat

21 years of working in higher education today 🎉, also 20 years of #LearnHigher, now part of @aldinhe.bsky.social thanks to the late great Tom Burns and @danceswithcloud.bsky.social. It's helped many people, my oldest project, still going strong today, take a look aldinhe.ac.uk/learnhigher/ #LoveLD

A recent article claimed that the Science of Learning and Direct Instruction is "neoliberal ‘dogma’ that is working to de-skill the teaching profession". This is my response to that ⬇️ carlhendrick.substack.com/p/defending-...

The interim boss of the University of Dundee has resigned after an external investigation blamed a “hierarchical and over-confident” leadership style on the institution’s cash crisis. @julietterowsell.bsky.social reports #AcademicSky #EduSky

Question for tonight's @lthechat.bsky.social - how do you see yourself as an educator? An learning artist? A learning scientist? Neither, both? Curious to get the wisdom of the crowd 😊. #LTHEChat

A4 build the elements of artistry into accommodations in promotion etc..which have tended to focus on the metrics and "hard" evidence. Some of the artistry elements are very nuanced and some, e.g. personal elements of empathy and other softer skills difficult for some to enact? #lthechat

Don't just talk about decline as if a state is an ageing animal. That's BS. Solve the problems. Join the Single Market. Do tax reform. Levy wealth and not income. Build High Speed Rail. Help young people. Save universities. Build up FE. Don't talk: *get up and do something about it*.

If it's 8-9pm and you are #AcademicSky then @lthechat.bsky.social #LTHEChat is the best professional development chat and CoP for #HigherEducation - Make It So #makeEDUBetter

A4 encourage a space where its ok to be honest and vulnerable and laugh! Model not knowing all the things. It's an antidote to performativity in normal work. The CoPs closest to my heart are the ones where I can be my whole messy self and be a professional, without the two being in tension #LTHEchat
