We need poets because they reinfuse language with possibility. I might claim to not believe in love or freedom or beauty or revolution or kindness, and then I read a poem that reactivates these words, making them live again.

🔎 Rare 18th-century punches used to create the original Baskerville typeface have been digitised and released online. Designers, historians and the wider public now have the opportunity to study the physical tools that shaped modern typography. 🔗https://loom.ly/1ulLaFI
A close-up of a person wearing teal gloves holding a small metal type punch engraved with an ampersand symbol. In the background, part of the person’s face is softly out of focus. A bearded man wearing teal gloves uses a green rubber air blower to clean a small metal type punch. He sits at a desk with an open wooden case filled with neatly arranged metal punches, while a computer monitor displaying a magnified image is visible in the background.

UCU Campaign for GTAs
Calling for Fair Pay, Equal Pay, Secure PayFair pay: To eliminate the endemic overworking of GTAs expected to perform tasks not within those stipulated as their responsibility in their employment contracts – particularly, but not limited to, extra administrative work and contributions to the creation of course content.Equal pay: To raise allocated preparation time to a reasonable level which truly represents the work that GTAs must devote to delivering pedagogically sound teaching. There should be transparency of workload models for GTAs, e.g. preparation time, marking time and end discrepancies in pay rates and time allocations for different tasks across colleges.Secure pay: To ensure all GTAs are issued initially with two-year contracts, as per the University’s policy.
