Universities want new business models, not just discounts. As @theblochian.bsky.social (OLH Exec. Director) writes: Together we can move our university funding away from obscene commercial extractivists and back into scholar-led non-profit models www.researchprofessionalnews.com/rr-news-uk-v...

You can subscribe now on all the most evil podcast platforms (Apple linked below, but search on your fave). I hope you’ll listen, and share, and tell me what you think. I’ve never put so much time into any project, and certainly not into a podcast. So I am very curious about how it is received.

Not true. I'll give you some examples of when styles crossed over from womenswear to menswear, and how men have worn straight-up womenswear or just feminine styles in cool ways. 🧵

A screenshot from Twitter.

The original tweet reads: "Rapper Kenderick Lamar wore size 29 women's jeans to Super Bowl LIX." The tweet garnered over a thousand replies, most negative.

I (Derek Guy) screenshotted that tweet and wrote: "so funny to see history repeat itself. men who wear slim fit and stretch denim—both of which were once considered strictly for women—criticizing kendrick for wearing flares bc they were on the women's aisle. in ten years, you'll be in flares clutching pearls about something else"

Then another user replied to my tweet, saying: "Wearing women’s clothes has never been in style, homo."

What have Russell Group universities been doing with all the money they got from hovering up all the home students after the lifting of the student numbers cap? Incredible to me they screwed the rest of the sector while still not avoiding gigantic deficits www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
