Been struggling with x for a while, think it's definitely time to call it a day. The unsolicited unpleasant and offensive stuff in my feed makes it a place I no longer want to be. Hope to find all the peeps/orgs that I do want to follow, without distractions, in another place

An expert in fashion sustainability from @NottmTrentUni has become the institution’s first to be awarded a Philip Leverhulme Prize 👏👏 @LeverhulmeTrust @AmyTwiggerH ntu.ac.uk/about-us/news/…

Spent the last two days in a wonderful archive tracking of Ewart Myers and Co as part of my @pasoldfund Colonial Lace Legacies: the evolution of regional design and cultural education in the 19th C

@criminographer sending love ❤️❤️

It's the start of #BabyLossAwarenessWeek. We miss our beautiful 2 terribly.The grief is loud, quiet, acute, dull, terrifying, consuming & everything in between.Our time stands still & also races on. We grieve for what they were & what they could have been. Love to all grieving. X

@perrigame 😂😂😂

I’ve made really good friends with a woman who works near me. We stop and chat most days, she’s popped in for coffee and vice verse, she helped fix my printer when it was broken, we’ve planned to go to a food festival next week together, and I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT HER NAME IS.

Today we held our kick off symposium for our QAA funded project to explore AI tools in textiles. thought provoking speakers - Lars Holmquist @NottmTrentUni, Bea Wohl from UAL & Liberty's. Fabulous collaboration with great partners.

@NCT_Buses can you please ask buses to stop automatically where there are multiple buses due 1. people who can't get near the road assume someone will put their hand out 2. you can't always get near enough to stop the bus! Happened twice this week!

I've decided to draw a series of pictures chronicling the worst types of public behaviour. Any others I should draw?

Sherwood - what phenomenal actors - #LesleyManville #MonicaDolan and #LorraineAshbourne ❤️

@MichaelRosenYes Made me realise both my parents were given this scenario- Barry Briggs and Dianne Deakin. And my cousin, Jill, married a Hill.

Does your given name begin with the same letter/sound as your family name? As with, say, Jack Jones? Does it annoy you that your parents did that? Or if you've taken your partner's/spouse's name and become alliterated, as it were, eg you were Mary Jones and now you're Mary Madely

thank you @GedlingBC and the #purifoundation for the improvements to our local #breckhill park😊

@TobiFrenzen Trossers, pronounced with a silent r

What’s the collective noun for Liz Truss supporters?

@Bobby_Seagull totally normal behaviour in Nottingham

I just got off a London bus and said "thank you" to the driver. Was that a bit odd or just polite?

@RealDeniseLewis you rock - great to hear you are going to be President of #UKA and you hail from the West Mids ❤️

No, not 💯 Elon. In the U.K. they’re not going round ‘finding people who’ve said something they disagree with and putting them in a f—king cage.’ Some people are being charged for inciting racial hatred and for organising acts of violence. It’s very specific, and it’s the law in most democracies including the US. For example, one person has pleaded guilty today to inciting an attack on a hotel housing asylum seekers: an attack which then took place. Another hotel was set on fire, with people still inside. Freedom carries responsibility: and freedom of speech carries with it the responsibility of each of us to use our words wisely and to be aware of the damage misinformation can cause. To be clear, criminal violence directed towards various communities in the U.K. was perpetrated as a result of malicious and specifically targeted misinformation online. And it’s a relief no-one was killed. Words matter. And yet here you are, running a huge information network, and all you can do is post 💯 over something you choose not to verify for accuracy, not alert people to it’s highly damaging nature. In fact, because of who you are, your 💯 gives it a stamp of approval in the eyes of those who seek validation for their actions. What we say and do has real consequences. That’s because we’re not in a matrix, we’re in real life, and sticking 💯 on a lie doesn’t turn it into truth.

'Shall I tell you why you don't remember that story? It was a black kid - and a white man had the sword.' 'Where were the riots' after the Hainault stabbing, asks @mrjamesob.

@JoannaBorysiak just adorable...what a lovely teacher

My daughter's Y3 teacher is the absolute GOAT. She single-handedly crocheted a mini-me of each kid in her class as an end of year gift. Approx. 8hrs per doll. Even the hairstyles and clothes are spot on. What a legend.

It's graduation time and this year it's particularly special, as one of the students in my dept #Georgia Stevenson has redesigned the @NottmTrentUni gowns. I was also honoured to give an outstanding alumni award citation to #angela fusco
