Happy New Year everyone!! My first deed of the year was accidentally snapping a bowl right in half when I was stacking them to clean up. Hopefully this isn’t a sign… (Does anyone know a good clue I can use? Is this fixable?)
A small soup bowl on a kitchen counter that is broken right down in the middle.

How many of the people making this decision themselves benefited from state funding of their post-graduate education? (It just wouldn’t have been on my menu of possibilities if there wasn’t a full grant for fees and maintenance to apply for.)

Today 20.000+ people came together in The Hague to protest the proposed cuts in education funding. To protest against layoffs. Against a penalty for study delays. Against the closure of degree programmes. And to fight for academic freedom, equal opportunities, and the right to study. #WOinActie

When you don’t have time to make a sign from scratch (‘cause workload) and you want to be sustainable: recycle the poster #WOinActie #protest

Given the X-odus (see what we did there? A true fire bird): which other #earlymodern centres have arrived here already? We've got a starter pack for easy following, but keen to hear about more: go.bsky.app/LLzFj3b #skystorians

My birthday present to myself arrived (very) early. This collection has a poem for every day of year. A wonderful way to (re)discover poets. This coming year will likely be one of insecurity, instability, and big decisions for me. But at least I can be sure of one thing: there will be poetry.
The cover of the book ‘365 Poems for Life’ compiled by Allie Esiri.The blurb of the book ‘365 Poems for Life’: Discover 365 Poems for Life, an uplifting poem-a-day collection from award-winning curator Allie Esiri.
This anthology offers readers
an escape from daily life through some of the best words in the English language. Explore a wide range of poets, including Maya Angelou, Carol Ann Duffy, Kae Tempest, Dylan Thomas, Ocean Vuong and many more.
The perfect gift, this beautiful collection brings a moment of solace every day of the year.

Because of a Big Deadline, I put off a bunch of stuff thinking “that’s November-me’s problem”. November-me is not amused…
