Powerpoint and IWBs - time to reclaim analogue teaching. My latest blog. thinkingflexibly.com/2025/04/19/p...

And there it is. NEH Faculty Award canceled, along with $30,000 of my salary this year. Guess I'll have to ask for my teaching load back for the fall.

A terrific night watching MODERN TIMES with a live orchestral score (my first time seeing it this way) with @norloll.bsky.social at Cadogan Hall as part of the London Soundtrack Festival. Chaplin’s weirdest feature? 🌽

This looks fabulous! Alerting @norloll.bsky.social. Fellow ex-booksellers may enjoy.

Now that we've hit the 100 followers mark, perhaps it would be a good time to flag this up. Recently, @norloll.bsky.social and I were guest boffins on the new @BFI release of early Michael Powell films. I still haven’t been able to watch it though because I don’t own a Blue-ray player.

Worth noting that during the '84 miners strike there was no support and zero donations from the local farming community. They treated us with complete disdain

More exciting #20s30s developments - @norloll.bsky.social and @clairelanghamer.bsky.social are here as well.
