I'm curious to know - has anyone ever recognised a postcard they either sent or received?

If you like art, this is a good one to follow.

The miserable school assemblies I experienced, together with the hypocrisy of the teachers made me into the atheist I am today! Let those who want to sing hymns do so, and let the rest opt out.

🤣 but also 😰. The country is being sold to the highest bidders - people you wouldn't trust to look after your cat when you were away.

There's something very appealing about this picture.

I wish more people would do at least some of these.

Looking for a long taxi journey in the UK? Avoid GetTransfer UK - read the reviews which claim that GetTransfer don't pay their drivers, so the drivers don't turn up, even though customers have paid in advance. Reviews also claim that customers can't get refunds from GetTransfer.

Seeing this wonderful picture on here doesn't do it justice. The first time I saw this in the National Gallery, it absolutely took my breath away.

My mother died 30 years ago after a long and difficult illness. I'm running the Oxford Half this October in her memory and to raise money for Occtopus, the Oxford Colon Cancer Trust. They do good work, and any donations would be gratefully received. www.justgiving.com/page/tim-har...

I’m going to be selling quite a lot of photo equipment over the next few weeks including the cameras which I used for the vast majority of the photos for the Outsiders project. Will offer them on here first then pass to a friend to sell on eBay if they don’t sell.

Charlie from the Outsiders project, print is lying on the tray of a Canon printer.

I love these little birds. Their nickname - 'clowns of the sea' - doesn't do justice to their efforts to feed their young despite attacks from larger birds, such as skuas.

I've signed and sent a letter - from authors, broadcasters, journalists, artists, scholars and performers - to express our deep concern at @exeter.ac.uk’s troubling plans to make mass redundancies within the Humanities Dept @uniofexeterhass.bsky.social. I would love it if you read and shared widely.

Dear Vice Chancellor, Provost, Pro-Vice Chancellor and Executive Dean for the Faculty of Humanities,
Arts and Social Sciences and Chair of Council (cc Director of Human Resources and Chief Financial
Officer)
We write, as authors, broadcasters, journalists, artists, publishers, academics and performers in the public
sphere, to express our deep concern at the University of Exeter’s plans to make redundancies within the
Faculty of Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences (HASS). The cuts come at a point when Exeter is not in
deficit, and they are not distributed equally across the university. With 114 of the proposed 153 FTE
academic redundancies falling within HASS, the University is dismantling areas of established excellence
and international renown in a Russell Group University whose reputation is known to be outstanding in the
Humanities. Several of the disciplines subject to the proposed cuts, including Classics and Ancient History,
English and Creative Writing, History, and Theology and Religion are among the UK’s strongest according
to league tables, the Research Excellence Framework (REF), the Teaching Excellence Framework (TEF),
and other recognised indicators, including QS World Rankings.
The extent of the proposed cuts is both shocking and misguided. Exeter is seeking to make up to 20
academics redundant in English and Creative Writing, out of a headcount of 62. In Languages and Visual
Culture upwards of 17 colleagues will be made redundant, decimating subjects including Art History and
Visual Culture, French, German, Italian, Hispanic Studies, Russian and Chinese. 5 posts will go or have
gone in Classics and Ancient History (2 academics have already left), out of a staff body of 20. In Theology
and Religion up to 5 academics will be made redundant out of a group of 13. In History over 17 colleagues
will be made redundant, out of a staff body of 53. In the Institute for Arab and Islamic Studies staff are
facing a headcount reduction of almost a third (6FTE out …

I saw this painting for the first time several years ago, and still remember how absolutely stunning it is.
