I'm so sorry it took me so long to sort this, life happened. Anyways, the max feed of 7 days is now operational.

Becka Foster @veggieg3ek.bsky.social · 07/02/2025

I will investigate, I didn't set it up with a time limit so it looks like the feed might need tweaking *looks under the bonnet and makes thoughtful noises*

Yes we do. But fewer and fewer students are applying to do nursing because of the horror of working in the NHS and the chronic underfunding. We can't blame Cardiff for proposing to close a course they are unable to recruit to. Bring back the bursary!

The shock at Cardiff proposing to close Nursing at their Uni simply demonstrates how unaware the sector is of the sharp decline in nursing applications year on year. Yes we need nurses, but prospective students are not applying for nursing degrees... I wonder why that might be...

We aren't peaking squats, but I got a huge new rep PB yesterday, 95kgs x 3 💪🏻 my comp PB is 100kgs, and last comp I only managed 97.5kgs (September 24) so this really shows progress. Need to work on hip shift as I get tired but still 🤩 110kgs here. We. Come!! // Powerlifting

I agree with that. Key is understanding what we are assessing and why we are choosing that method of assessment. Not just choosing an exam because you can't use AI in it.

The sector urgently needs to include more authentic, work based assessments as standard and stop being so 16th century about the sanctity of Higher Education...

We are having just this debate at the moment. The shift to exams to combat this is also nonsensical. When was the last time your employer asked you to sit an exam in lieu of writing a report or delivering a presentation 🤦🏻‍♀️

👀 I've actually cycled 313kms but Strava didn't know that as they were Garmin logged rides 🚲 on a watt bike. Works out at £0.47 per hour of gym time, pretty good. Fewer hikes and time on the fells as we've completed the Wainwrights now and are visiting other places than the Lakes!

Blue sky really is no good at all for portrait videos. Is there a way around this? (Other than filming a long way away which is useless for me and my coach?!). Anyways some nice rpe 6.5 squats @ bodyweight // powerlifting
