🏳️‍🌈 50 years ago today, on Wednesday 7 June 1972, Reading Gay Alliance was formed. A thread on the organisation’s early movements and geography of LGBTQ+ Reading 🧵 #LGBTQIA #rdguk #PrideMonth #Berkshire

@EarloftheShire I hear this!

It’s a 200mg of Sertraline kinda day #mentalhealthmatters

Erm. Very kind to promote me to the role of director. Less kind to advance my age by a couple of decades. Child library prodigy? ‘I know the work you do…’ 👀

@Feltip1982 @YorksCafe @ParadiseBham @ichoosemag Amazing news! Their coffee is always a joy.

Rejoice. @YorksCafe at @ParadiseBham #Birmingham has opened today. Beautiful setting and great addition to Paradise and precursor to more restaurants to come. Nice and busy already and I’m sure a hotspot for workers to drop in. @ichoosemag

The Beatles: Special 60th reissue of A Hard Day’s Night on vinyl set to be released! Me: Amazing! Does that mean we’ll get to hear the album remixed like all the other editions so far? The Beatles: Erm, no. But it’ll be on limited edition white vinyl. Me: No thanks.

@JakeMC_ THIS IS EVERYTHING

Starring Sheridan Smith, ‘The Face’ is a gripping three-part drama about an actress who becomes obsessed with being in every three-part drama. Coming soon to ITV and ITVX (It’s not really, it’s an edit by me)

Low-key demure start to my first term of teaching @unibirmingham As teaching spaces go, not sure there many others on campus with views like this.

@benjcartlidge I hear you! Try learning how to use it for the first time 🫠

oh god do i still remember how to use panopto

@FrGeorgeReeves @unibirmingham I have no recollection of a number but it was ground floor. Had a squirrel infestation. The new Mason Block had just opened. No wifi, just Ethernet connection. Wow.

@FrGeorgeReeves @unibirmingham 16 years for me (Maple Bank) and now I’m working my first welcome week as a new member of staff. If 18 year old me could see me now.

🚨 Still very odd to see my old post @UniRdg_SpecColl being advertised. Now with new role title. 🚨

Oh, what a day to be on the fells ☺️ Blencathra via Sharp Edge (😬) and down via Halsfell Ridge.

@davidabbottbris Gorgeous. Like burning embers.

@bobbert_ It looks like the kind of dinner you could keep on eating. And then grab some bread and mop up.

@bobbert_ 😍 recipe please!

@WaterOrtonSteve @North_Warks_BC @Warwickshire_CC @WaterOrtonPC @CrossCountryUK Appreciate it! I have to change trains once into New Street-often just one platform across. So that is handy. But well timed, hourly services into Moor St at far more flexible times would trump this. The additional commute services should be considered, though.

@AdamCLines @North_Warks_BC @Warwickshire_CC @WaterOrtonPC @CrossCountryUK That's cool, and thanks for the feedback. I always want to ask what people want rather than tell them! I'm concious that there are exisitng users and if it jiggers them up having to move for connections then overall utility may be down. I'll keep everyone informed. Its slow tho

What would you prefer when it comes to rail services in #WaterOrton?

@WaterOrtonSteve @North_Warks_BC @Warwickshire_CC @WaterOrtonPC @CrossCountryUK Honestly, I’d give anything for a more regular, later and earlier service from Moor Street. It would open up possibilities I’ve long shelved as being possible from WO in Brum ⭐️

Ths hourly service may be as extensive as 6am - midnight opening up using the Birmingham Night Time Economy. Will be seeking in the interim for @North_Warks_BC @Warwickshire_CC and @WaterOrtonPC to petition @CrossCountryUK to increase services ahead of next timetabling exercise

August fireworks for desk companions.

@DJNSussex Utterly joyous!

@AdamCLines Depends what they have in stock 😂

Can’t believe I’ve spent Friday night cleaning the house and planning meals for next week. Is this what adults do?

@ProfALaville Very welcome ☺️ I’m very good. Loving the new role and being back in Brum.

@AdamCLines Thank you, Adam :) hope you’re well!

My final day as Dean for Diversity and Inclusion has come as tomorrow, I’ll be Associate Pro-Vice-Chancellor Diversity and Inclusion. Thank you 🙏
