Really simple question posed by @charliewestney.bsky.social that should give everyone pause for thought as we go deeper into a climate emergency.
Charlie Westney@charliewestney.bsky.social · 3mo agoImages have power. How would you think about the heatwave if this image was of elderly people in a stuffy care home, roofers or builders sweating at work, or a hospital ward with nurses helping patients sip water?

Big birthday at the weekend, so I’ve done the most HE thing imaginable, produced an excessively long reflection mixing institutional critique, technology history, AI scepticism and a satirical university. Possibly a memoir. Possibly evidence for HR. lawriephipps.co.uk/60/

After decades in education, technology and policy, I have concluded that the sector largely runs on acronyms, existential anxiety, expensive lanyards, and people saying “we should probably have a working group for that”. Anyway, I turned 60 and wrote about it. lawriephipps.co.uk/60/
