Under a Binface government, anyone who doesn’t accept human-made climate change as fact will be sent back to school, from Year 1 right the way to A Levels, to see if anything goes in the second time round. #VoteBinface

As a UH alumnus (MA Literature, 2002), as a humanities scholar, and as a human being, I can barely express the combination of sorrow, outrage, and “Jack’s complete lack of surprise” that I feel in response to the devastation being wrought on our disciplines and, more broadly, on UK higher ed. 1/

I think what Phillipson *meant* to say was "charging full fees is justified on the basis of *high quality teaching across UK universities, in the face of unprecedented under-funding*” “University tuition fees in England to rise with inflation every year from 2026” www.bbc.com/news/article...

University tuition fees in England to rise with inflation every year from 2026

Bridget Phillipson confirmed the plans for the next two years, with fees to increase automatically after that.

*Bucknell University Press to Close* And just like that, @BucknellU’s reputation plummets What is it that makes university provosts and vice-chancellors join the race to the bottom? #HE #HigherEducation #highered www.chronicle.com/blogs/letter...

In Owthorpe lie Lucy Hutchinson (Order and Disorder, 1679) and her husband, regicide Colonel John Hutchinson @literarybritain.bluesky.social. In St Margaret’s church the John-Lucy memorial is opposite the (later and rather larger…) memorial to Richard Norton who entertained 4 kings of England

I know there are more important things to say than this but a chinook really does look like a frog mated with a dragonfly

Part of the playbook. Universities are a threat to fascism. Universities need to survive.

My book The Unnatural Trade came out late last year. It shows how the evidence provided by naturalists was crucial to the way British abolitionists were able to cast the slave trade as unnatural, a "dread perversion of nature". Find out more and look inside - brycchancarey.com/bookshop/unn...

One big lesson of #HeathrowClosure #Heathrow … businesses need to build in #redundancy not cut every corner In #HigherEducation the equivalent is staff. Don’t strip back so there is no “redundancy” by making people redundant Efficiency sounds great until……… #HigherEd #ucu

Today was, I think, irrelevant in terms of what Trump has *already* planned. It was, though, significant in what we chose to learn from it. The ugly behaviour of Trump and Vance has, as Jeremy Bowen BBC says, all the hallmarks of a #PlannedMugging #Ukraine

BP CEO Murray Auchincloss announced today that BP will increase its investments in oil and gas by about 20%. “This is a reset BP,” Auchincloss said, “with an unwavering focus on growing long-term shareholder value.” Now why does that sound familiar?

I’m back home from my travels so I had a walk in my own neighbourhood in #Northumberland today - first at #Boulmer, where I reliably identified a purple sandpiper for the first time, and then, as the sun went down, to the Aln Estuary and #Alnmouth.

Dogs have topped and tailed my research trip to The Brotherton, Leeds Uni. From the start, my work has been overseen by a dalmatian, and in the last item on my list I found this farting dog poem (by William Fairfax, 1593-1621). Thanks to the wonderful Special Collections team!
