Had a gorgeous time at #WeirdModernisms! I think this appropriately weird accidental rainbow pic of Lessing says it all 🌈 Thank you @modernistudies.bsky.social @moderniststudies.bsky.social

i for one think it’s really helpful that our online learning environment has a big button labeled “post marks” on every page of the grade center which i must never accidentally press or the marks will be released to students ahead of time and this is irreversible. good to keep us on our toes

Good piece, brief and to the point from @drjogrady.bsky.social Gen Sec of UCU: “We are calling for direct government intervention before the crisis spirals further.” Intervention is cheaper than most think, and pound for pound excellent investment in our future economic prosperity.

The government must intervene before the universities crisis worsens

During moments of political crisis it’s often said there are weeks when decades happen. This has been one such week.
