What an absolute disgrace. A FIFA-certified referee being denied entry to the United States purely because he is Somali. The World Cup is meant to bring people together. This is racism, plain and simple. Shameful. www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

I hadn't quite realised that post wedding we would basically have cake to eat for at least the next three months 👌

One of my cousins took the nicest photo I've ever seen of me yesterday, so that's good news.

Me yesterday every time I saw someone pointing a phone at me 😂

Got my car cleaned inside yesterday and took it to the car wash - I felt like I couldn't have a filthy car to drive us to our wedding (even though it would have been quite funny)

Archie was intrigued by his bed for the night

It's now up to 38, my car doesn't have air con

Car was a nice cool 25 degrees when I got in it this morning, lovely.

Hoping with my whole being that some of these stay closed for the next few days so I can use them for my wedding flowers, this heat wave may spoil my plans

Shit show from Brentford fans over on the other platform - yes our players have not been brilliant the last two months, but shut up with the 'never want to see them play for us again' bollocks please 🙄 point at Anfield in the Mo Salah testimonial was not a bad result.

Last night I was spying on the cat I think keeps pooping in our front garden AND I LEFT THE FRONT DOOR WIDE OPEN ALL NIGHT

Do you know what I really hate? When an exercise someone has told you will fix your minor injury/discomfort and you've been putting it off for ages, then you do it a few times and it's near instant improvement 😅 (I'm an idiot)

The Society's President and Council have released the following statement on the proposed closure of undergraduate degrees at the University of Hertfordshire, in #History and the wider humanities bit.ly/4dmV5oO This comes at a time of further bad news from Essex and Nottingham #Skystorians

Working my way through these today. There are hundreds of them, one for every single player registered to play amateur and professional.

There is something so satisfying about reuniting loose sheets in a box of documents

Today staff in the School of Creative Arts, including the Humanities department, were called to a redundancy consultation meeting. We were informed that 23 posts were to go by August this year, with further redundancies as the Humanities programmes are taught out over 2 years.

I'm not sure anyone, in the village, knows how roundabouts are supposed to work. (Other than me obviously)

Serious question for the university, why would I, a temp member of staff for a department which has been told we are closed, want to help on the clearing lines this year.. for free???

Anyone got experience of losing a close family member near to a wedding? Is there a good way to approach it?

Just logged into student finance for a laugh, £75k 😂

Sharing this again this morning in case anyone missed it!

Thousands of University of Nottingham staff told they are at risk of redundancy

Please sign to try and save our department

Hey Bluesky folks. If you’re in education or just follow for my thirst traps, would you please sign this if you can, and share far and wide? c.org/dCKk9vjqxY It’s much appreciated. My university is cancelling all UG humanities degrees. We need support and love right now x

Is the UK's science base being eroded by policy, or by sleepwalking? As Britons head to the polls, it's timely to recall the hustings at the Royal Society before the last GE. All 3 parties there pledged to support science, & confirmed that included SHAPE disciplines. 1/9

Can't say I'm too disappointed to lose this one

Might be me being biased, but Silva definitely gave Collins a WHACK there

Big sighs coming from this sofa

This report is crucially important. Our University serves a whole region, with a widening participation agenda. We will now be a cold spot for Humanities, as our University has removed the opportunity for local students from WP backgrounds to study well-established and employable subjects.

I know many Spurs fans live in or grew up in Hertfordshire and nearby, if so this is probably your local university. Please if you have the time, write to the university to complain about this horrendous decision. Help my wonderful colleagues.

Exactly what I talk about in my @isrfoundation.bsky.social piece this week. Increasingly Arts and Humanities will be limited to so-called 'top' universities, with large cold spots across the country which mean that students from lower income backgrounds simply cannot access them. Do you want that? 🤷‍♂️

On Friday afternoon before the Bank Holiday, colleagues in the Humanities department were called to a meeting on Tuesday. They were informed that the University Portfolio Review had decided that English Language, English Literature, Philosophy, History & Creative Writing UG degrees would close

University of Hertfordshire closes a swathe of Humanities courses, accelerating the sweeping tide against Human-centred disciples in the UK. Because understanding humans is so yesterday today. With such happy consequences, as we see when we look around us.

Disappointing to be living through the decimation of the arts and humanities

Add my mum to the injury list (she's tiny and got tackled by a bulldog on her morning stroll with little Archie)

Sat down to do some marking because the weather is finally rubbish enough. I am always relieved when I open student documents and they read like they were written by them.

MOTD really did not capture the magic of the Josh Dasilva moment very well at all 🙄 moment of the season for me and Matt (and probably many other Brentford fans)

🥹🥹🥹

If you want some seriously good vibes I would recommend heading over to Brentford social media for the post match scenes of Josh Dasilva x

Confirmed tears in the west stand from me

When you're overtaking a cyclist I would say the ideal amount of space to leave is the amount they would need for you to not splatter them on the road if they were to hit a pothole as you were going round/past them

In a complete state of limbo this week as my little car is at the garage to see why the battery keeps dying and I can't really concentrate on anything else because I don't want to have to buy a new car.

Maybe next week ey

And again, lucky his shorts are black

Refs shat himself there

There is no way that handball doesn't get checked and given if it's the other way round btw 😭

Josh Dasilva on the bench, if he gets on the pitch there will be tears in this house.

Just sent off our ceremony checklist and I've got to say I think we've smashed the music choices.

Somewhere along the way, it seems that a certain group of people forgot that the most important entertainment product at Spurs was supposed to be its football team.

A lot of really insufferable Brentford fans around me today. It's fucking obvious our players are exhausted and we have very little on the bench. Grow up.
