24 June 2016. The day after when EU citizens across the UK were told to ‘go home’; when the then PM said he would not protect our rights. Stories largely forgotten. BLEA - Brexit Lived Experience Archive - which I am launching today, is here to preserve this history. #Brexit brexit.migravox.org

Yep. In fact, the real failing of students was when we stopped requiring them to regularly search a library catalogue for their reading and instead produced lists with hyperlinks that students simply had to click. As soon as they have to go off list, they’re lost.

Controversial but - students *perceive* they have been failed when what has happened is they have failed to understand information retrieval is a skill requiring effort. I don't believe a zero friction experience is realistic or desirable in learning, actually.

This is absolutely fucking outrageous. You can’t just overthrow and kidnap the leaders of other countries and then effectively conquer them and suspend their own democratic systems. Trump is a despicable fascist who should be impeached immediately.

A screenshot from BBC News: ‘Trump says US will 'run' Venezuela until 'safe transition can take place' - watch live The president says the US launched an "air, land and sea" operation to take President Maduro; Venezuela has called it "extremely serious military aggression".’

It is obscene and shameful to see Newnham Cambridge excluding trans women from fellowships. Nearly all the trans women I know in academia are precarious, and trans women are criminally underrepresented in every field relevant to the talent they have. This is pure nastiness (and that's the point)
