Sue Marsh @suey2y.bsky.social reminding us of a really great project we did, writing and failing in our attempt to get Starmer to listen to us...But, oh, how right Madame Sussex and Madame Oxford were...

Student campaigners made this happen! 🎉 This year, the rising tide of Fossil Free Careers campaigns secured commitments from 8 universities to stop platforming some of the most deadly and destructive industries on the planet. This is what student power looks like! 💪

It really is, do listen!!. Decriminalising drugs isn't "nuts" #Labour. It's a public health issue. "The "War on Drugs" is the biggest policy failure of the last 50 years" PJs Story open.substack.com/pub/undercla... Please read, share and subscribe

Well done @manmetuni.bsky.social for taking 1st place due to sustainable practice, divestment from fossil fuel and border industries, and banning of fossil free recruiters.Glad to see one of my unis @lsepress.bsky.social make the top 20, sadly the other @york.ac.uk has a long way to go from 79th.

Will you boost my little experiment with a share pls @chronicaction.bsky.social @chairmanmoet.bsky.social @jdportes.bsky.social @duncanweldon.bsky.social @philgroom.bsky.social @aroomofmyown1.bsky.social @steveakehurst.bsky.social substack.com/@suey2y/note...

I am it's true. Looks like I'm going to need a LOT of followers pretty quick though, lol

Excellent news, Sue Marsh is writing again. Underclass looks to be a substack worth following underclass.substack.com/p/welcome-to...

repost this if an editor has ever saved you from yourself

An idea that I am posting here in case peer pressure forces me to do something about it. A t-shirt design, using the Palestine Action font and colours, that reads: CIVIL DISOBEDIENCE IS NOT TERRORISM Proceeds going to Palestinian charities. Might be someone better placed to do it than me.

'This isn’t an operation – it’s a cremation: one with the ultimate goal of eradicating not just Palestinian life in Gaza, but Palestinian identity altogether.' www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Feeling a bit groggy today as I stayed up far too late reading the brilliant Echo Hall by @aroomofmyown1.bsky.social … what an absorbing tale of how war impacts upon families - I really enjoyed the parallel histories! #BookSky 💙📚

I'm still in the other place but popping up here again to say hi...Anyone out there?

Ilkley and environs! I am in you! And even better/worse, on Saturday I’ll be nattering on about flying things.

Our pleasure!

Really proud we're doing this: the @financialtimes.com is launching a WhatsApp channel which provides free-to-read, English language coverage of what's going on in Israel and Palestine during this conflict: stay informed, free of disinfo, and avoid doomscrolling! www.whatsapp.com/channel/0029...

Do come to the launch next week; @renardpress.bsky.social on Instagram Live 1800 BST My first teaching text - writing a book when you think you can’t. X

Oh my. Farewell to glorious Piper Laurie.

On a rewatch of #Detectorists - love that Lance's dream holiday would be Dorset.

One of the joys of looking out of my office window is this one moment in the year when the bush is full of berries and the birds come flocking. So far this week blackbird, sparrows, blue tits, coal tits, black caps, chiff chaff, wren and robin. Wonderful.

Wow after days of grey cloud, there's a blue sky out there.

@bookwormvaught.bsky.social Hello! Nice to see you here!

Pretty damn excited (and not a little gobsmacked) that Taking Flight has been shortlisted for the Royal Society Trivedi Book Prize. royalsociety.org/grants-schem...

Lovely final swim of the season at my local lido...Will miss it.

So I joined Blue Sky cos well we all know where twitter is at...Son said he was here (doesn't want me following) & not much happening so far, a little bit lonely but hoping people will come across?

@brethertonwords.bsky.social Hiya!

A crying shame. 'The UK’s Arts and Humanities Research Council (AHRC) is to cut the number of PhD students it funds by a quarter, from 425 to 300 a year.' www.timeshighereducation.com/news/arts-an... 🗃#skystorians

Just moved here from twitter. If anyone knows me, come say hi!
