Seeing yet more ridiculous articles about so-called 'performative reading'. Let's stigmatise literacy, shall we!?

Giving feedback on students' halfway points of dissertations. A good crop with some v interesting ideas. Topics include: Welsh Cultural Identity; on the intersection/in the vicinity of art & music; male to female gaze in the graphic novel 👍

Breaking | Israeli occupation tanks opened heavy fire east of Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip. And they called it CEASEFIRE!!!!!!

People still employ Andy Townsend for football commentary duty? Honestly stunned.

Just been to my undergrad library as a student for the first time in more than a quarter of a century.

Very much looking forward to watching @asifkapadia.bsky.social's Kenny Dalglish doc. A fitting director (Maradona, Senna) to take on the story of our greatest ever player 🎬⚽

Amazing to hear the nostalgic but timeless Detroit Cobras version of Shout Bamalama get a spin on @cerysmatthews.bsky.social earlier. Play it loud if you got it ▶️

They Live, John Carpenter (1988)

Accidentally watched Halloween on TV last night, so not sure what my viewing is gonna be this evening. My go to scary John Carpenter is actually The Fog, so that's always a contender 🎃

Went to the Liverpool leg of the Reith lectures tonight. Author Rutger Bergman on the idea of Moral Revolution. Interesting stuff. I have some thoughts. Should probably listen to the bookending lectures. BBC Reith Lectures 2025 | Shows and tours share.google/t0MnexPnGdoV...

Plausible that Slot won't see out the season.

Welsh academia: who's good on cultural erasure, please? I have a student writing their dissertation on this and I'd love some insights to pass on beyond my own suggestions if poss. Thanks 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Love autumn/winter, not just for the cosy clothes factor, but it's also time for a new season of exhibitions. Two press previews today: the Walker's Turner: Always Contemporary, which - as the name suggests - puts Britain's greatest painter in conversation with others: share.google/soVRL1uDFGv2...

To be clear: deportations to increase cultural homogeneity is the text book definition of ethnic cleansing. Demands that come even close to this are so far outside any democratic norm and the rule of law. What has happened to a country when this is not condemned in the strongest possible terms?

Watching Leonard and Hungry Paul. That it stars Alex Lawther as a gentle, humdrum soul, is really throwing me given I just watched him in Alien: Earth!
