Watching Greg James doing his longest ride for Comic Relief has been cheering me up so much. And he’s riding through my town today! Eeeeee www.comicrelief.com/rednoseday/c...

Great to be at #Digifest26 this year. I’ve shared a few highlights from the sessions and conversations I joined. digitalleadership.jiscinvolve.org/wp/2026/03/1...

Fucks sake 🤣🤣

It’s all happening in the community hub at #Digifest26 @jisc.bsky.social #Jisc #EdTech

Join us this morning on the #digifest26 Community Hub at 11:05 to talk about the “recipe for success” for learning communities. We want to hear your stories!

This is a great piece on Wonkhe. I've been keeping an eye on Taylor Lorenz's work on all things AI, as she always does a great critique and exploration of the intersections of tech and society. www.youtube.com/watch?v=QUyN...

Managed to bagsie a cheap Seatfrog first class upgrade for my journey down to #digifest26 and I'm so glad because it's standing room only in the rest of this Cross Country train. UK's worst train provider IMO. Thankfully, mine wasn't on the Cheltenham route though...

Are you at #digifest26 next week?! During our Community Hub workshop on Day 2, we'll be collecting stories about how learning communities have supported your professional development with all things digital. We want to hear from you! app.onlinesurveys.jisc.ac.uk/s/jisc/commu...

Do you still need costume ideas for World Book Day, because our friends at AUP have options! Or, if you have enough silver glitter, you could always dress up as #DiamondOpenAccess

One of the kids in my son's class has gone in dressed up as Hulk Hogan for World Book Day and I honestly can't stop laughing. Ahhh yes, that classic literary figure! 🤣

Activating community-led digital skills is a brand new guide, made in collaboration with Jisc members, giving advice on developing digital capabilities via communities of practice. www.jisc.ac.uk/guides/activ...

We'll be celebrating the 2026 community champions at Digifest 2026, along with a whole of host of meet ups and workshops to connect with your peers. Booking closes 17:00 today! bit.ly/46qEPPP

Stronger colleges start with stronger communities. This Colleges Week, hosted by the Association of Colleges, we celebrate the people and partnerships driving learning, connection, and opportunity across every campus.

Some big personal news! Here’s the link! everydoctor.org.uk/work-with-us...

The current argument of the British right is that Muslims turned out in "blocs" with "family voting" to cast their ballots for a party led by a gay Jewish man, and this shows that multiculturalism has failed, voting is "sectarian" and we are in a crisis. Hmmmmmm.

Some of you like dogs, in which case you may appreciate that guide dogs of Team GB for the Paralympics get official photos

what’s interesting here is that reform is demonstrating that they’d like to go the Trump route of claiming any election that they lost was cheated

The government is run by a cabal of billionaire child rapists and you’re worried about a pin?

ICE done fucked up coming for the GrindSet insta baddies

Whenever I feel a bit sad I just watch Bad Bunny’s Super Bowl halftime show to cheer me up a bit.

Lock him upppppppp! Had enough of all these men. www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2026...

"Donald Trump gave Nicki Minaj a signed copy of the Bible" is not a phrase I ever expected to write.

Are there still any David Bowie stans out there who won’t admit he was a nonce then, or what?! We gonna pretend he wasn’t part of the whole rotten “celebrity” elite power system that fostered the culture we find ourselves in?! He was a derty owld PDF-file.

My Instagram algorithm is now 99% matriarchy and witchy content and I am HERE FOR IT! Bring on the Feminist New World Order! 🤪😂

"Holding on to small & significant truths, especially when difficult, can make the difference. Virginia Giuffre did, as she had no choice. Because of the survivors, the Epstein Files were released. They made darkness visible for us all" My editorial on Andrew, contempt – and creating powerlessness:

Virginia deserved so much better and was failed by so many people over so many years. this doesn’t fix that but we can still celebrate a step in the right direction.

Today on The Internet is going to be even better than the Brooklyn Beckham drama the other week.

may be his birthday but today is a gift to all of us

You've got just over 24 hours to get your submission in, if you haven't already! Quick, quick, quickkkk! 🏃‍♀️

Sometimes I get a little upset when I live in a collapsing dystopia for many years

"People who have invested time, care and effort, carry the load while others with equal voice have little accountability. Individuals claim ownership...without having stewarded what they influence. What looks inclusive on paper can feel incoherent and unfair in practice." medium.com/@tomvandendo...

Anyone else been using Chat GPT for some Jungian dream analysis or just me?! 🥴

Introducing our 2026 community champions! Read more about this year's cohort, who are uniting their peers around AI design and policy, digital wellbeing, immersive tech: bit.ly/3O61fiV

We are delighted that our very own digital accessibility manager, Lilian Joy, has been announced as one of JISC's 2026 Community Champions!

Announcing our Jisc Community Champions for 2026! Really looking forward to meeting them all and celebrating their work at #digifest26. 🤩🎉 www.jisc.ac.uk/news/all/jis...

A new report reveals around two million young people in the UK have unmet mental health needs. The NHS supports the most urgent cases. #Libraries, through schemes like Reading Well for Children, make crucial early interventions. www.youngminds.org.uk/media/tnsdys... #ChildrensMentalHealthWeek

And they aren't all crowing about it on social media, so let's not assume that all the people in hats and buttons passing out whistles are doing nothing else. People - "wine moms," "knitters," who else do you think has ready access to breast milk? - are working behind the scenes for good.

I’ve see so much of this reaction among corporate feminist types and I swear the idea that women should be present at the tables where they decide to exploit people is so viscerally disgusting to me

If you read only one thing today, make it this. "In this essay, I discuss the fact that males are the secondary sex, and that patriarchy is a perversion of evolution, and as such, can only lead to the total destruction of humankind." designmom.substack.com/p/males-are-...

This is such sad news. I know many library folk will have been familiar with her work and it always feels like such a tragic loss when a person is so young.

"Leadership isn't always being the main character and doing everything, but recognising the skills of others and empowering them to shine." This quote came from a participant in a workshop I delivered yesterday. It's worth amplifying! #Leadership 💯

Amidst the noise, we must never forget the voices of the women and children who were trafficked and assaulted for years by Jeffrey Epstein and his powerful accomplices. Mandelson should never have been pushed for the role of US ambassador, he and other hugely powerful men must be held to account.

I actually had bad dreams last night about the Epstein files and it's affecting me way more than I thought it would on an existential level. Like, what is the POINT of anything if rich and powerful men can just do what they want at all times?! If anyone else is feeling the same - you're not alone.

The @jisc.bsky.social Connect More call for submissions has been extended until the 18th Feb! We'd love to hear from you if you're working in FE or HE.

Islington today outside waterstones. I hope the rain didn't wash it all away.

Anyone else having a "what's the point in continuing on with normal life stuff, when the world is the way it is?!" kind of Monday? Sending solidarity. What can we do to look after ourselves and each other? Would love to hear ideas of what other people do.

What are you waiting for?! Deadline for @jisc.bsky.social Connect More session proposals is at the end of NEXT WEEK! Come and shape the programme by getting involved. www.jisc.ac.uk/forms/submit...

The thing I love observing about human behaviour when watching the Traitors is that humans are absolutely amazing at lying while simultaneously being terrible at being able to spot when other people are lying.

Honestly I cba with World War 3 I've got stuff I need to dooooooo. 🤪🤪

Connect More is running again in May 2026 and @jisc.bsky.social are looking for submissions from FE and HE practitioners on the theme of "be empowered to transform education through practitioner-led, ethical digital innovation". Deadline is the end of January! www.jisc.ac.uk/forms/submit...
