treat your body like a data center. consume as much water, art and literature as possible. upset local municipalities with your existence.

Is he referring to foreign staff, as opposed to students? In either case, that argument makes no sense. Staff from overseas are certainly not recruited ‘on the cheap’ and do nothing to affect the wages of American academics - that’s an entirely separate phenomenon

It has both! Two different recipes for sugar cream pie in fact. I’ve never had either - intrigued! Not sure I can source persimmons easily, however…

as a fangirl of Richard Harris *and* 35mm slides, I think we can agree this is well worth the 25 cents I paid for it (and yes - the album sleeve has an inset clear cellophane window 😍)

I went to school in Southern California - and incredibly one time puppeteers from the Jim Henson Workshop came and did an assembly at our school. They even let us try some of the puppets. Pretty sure that’s the day my childhood peaked

What a shitshow. In a shockingly short time,Trump & cronies have turned this renowned centre for the arts into a parody of its former self. I feel deeply for all the staff who’ve had to leave, and those who’ve had no choice but to stay. I hope it can come back when this clown is finally gone 😡

Is it a big deal that the U.S. president is telling insane lies that he personally rushed to the site of 9/11 and heroically acted like a first responder himself? Sorta seems like it should be! Maybe?

Finally watched an ep of The Traitors (Ireland) last night as I love Siobhan McSweeney. I still just can’t get into reality shows (have never watched Love Island, Dancing with anything, etc). Is there any way of just getting a weekly digest of Siobhan’s amazing looks and skipping the actual show

I wonder what he’s been doing all this time. Maybe working on his nu-folk trad / experimental jazz crossover album ‘Plenipotentiary’, and waiting for the right moment to drop it

Amazing! I was at the back of the queue, and when I finally got to the front, she squealed ‘you brought your banjo! Would it be ok if I played it?’ I choked out ‘of course, Dolly!’ and she played a riff with those bright orange nails. She gave me a big hug and signed it. I’ve never really recovered.

RIP Dolly 😢😢 — what an incredible woman, artist, songwriter, and human being. This pic is from 2002, when I met Dolly at HMV on Grafton St in Dublin. She’s playing my banjo in this pic, which she later signed 🥹 a prized possession!!

In case you are an academic who is currently being gaslit into believing that you're a caveman who wants their students to be jobless if you resist allowing AI in your classrooms... I present to you Berkeley Law's response, which can be summarized as "Fuck off directly into the sun."

It may be rainy outside, but it’s nice and dry here at Lexicon library in Dun Laoghaire! Lovely to see our Casimir Markievicz travelling exhibition in situ, created by me & @katymilligan.bsky.social in collab with the Embassy of Poland - hosted here until 31 Aug! 🇮🇪🇵🇱

It would be a terrible shame if this resource was lost for want of an archive - this stuff is still of major interest to policymakers today and is a crucial part of the social history that made the Britain of today (HT @municipaldreams.bsky.social )

Also - theatre was completely sold out, and audience was enthralled - you could have heard a pin drop. People applauded at the end. Lovely to be in the company of cinephiles @irishfilminstitute.bsky.social!

I am very much not a classicist, but saw the Odyssey this afternoon (superb in 70mm at the @irishfilminstitute.bsky.social) and thoroughly enjoyed it. Matt Damon was better than expected in the lead, and the cinematography, music and sound design were brilliant. 3 hours flew by!
