The meme of the young woman shouting into a blank-faced young man’s ear, captioned ‘THE GOVERNMENT COULD BAIL OUT UNIVERSITIES, HEIS AND CULTURAL INSTITUTIONS IF THEY WANTED TO, BUT THEY WONT BECAUSE NEOLIBERAL
CONSERVATIVE VALUE SYSTEMS PRIORITISE PROFIT OVER PUBLIC GOOD’

CW: death, possible suicide New way for British people to avoid saying someone died just dropped

A screencap of a post from the Nextdoor app saying: It's is so sad and heartbroken to hear about the year 7 student who encountered a fatality with the train while on his way to school this morning, prayers are with his entire family and all those who are affected by his passing also prayers are with his friends and students and teachers of Riddlesdown collegiate.

Post a picture or pictures you took (no description except alt text) to bring some calm to the timeline.

The sun rising behind Angkor Wat temple. There are palm trees on either side and in the foreground. The entire image is reflected in a pool

A wide-angle shot of Boulders Beach in Capetown. The light grey boulders in the foreground and pockets of sandy beach are covered in penguins. The water towards the horizon is dark blue and turquoise.

The Crete coast at sunset. Most of the picture is dark blue sea, with land and islands towards the orange horizon

A contemporary sculpture of a viking ship on the Reykjavik waterside. The sky is blue with clouds, and there are mountains in the distance

Me welcoming new arrivals from twitter

A vintage cartoon of a punk-looking possum hanging upside-down, asking a nervous raccoon eating crisps if they like trash. The racoon tentatively confirms, and the possum replies they’ll love it here

It’s no wonder racism is so rife in British theatre when every few months variations of this question are asked by Drama teachers in the biggest British FB group for drama education

A screencap of a post in a facebook group called “Drama Teachers and Those Interested in Drama Education that says: hi all, I would appreciate your thoughts on doing West Side Story in a predominantly all white school. How best to tackle it in a respectful and sensitive way. Thanks all

Extremely annoyed that my job this week is not in fact beach. Instead it is emails, lesson planning, reading student work and PhD
