Word of the day is ‘recrudescence’ (17th century): the return of something terrible after a time of reprieve.

RIP Janey Godley. Thanks for making us smile. #ripjaney

@nimtimtim The drop off for women in architecture also follows a similar trajectory throughout UK education and then work place. Attributed often to long hours and low pay - and lack of flexibility.

I'm convinced that low pay is the single biggest reason architecture has such poor levels of representation and diversity. This chart from the RIBA education statistics 2021/22 is pretty damning. Anyone out there with a story to back this up, get in touch.

‘Professional buck-passers’: why the excoriating Grenfell report was right to damn the architects. Great article by ⁦@ollywainwright⁩ - on culpability and education. We need to learn from this and never let it happen again. #grenfell #grenfelltower theguardian.com/uk-news/articl…

@Sialepis69 Apparently it will be paid back… it was to offset the % uplift from last year so this will still apply if you recently paid it off.

Too bad my wife wiped out her HECS debt last week and it was seen as the right thing to do. We worked hard to pay that back can we be reimbursed please?

This is so sickening and disgusting. This is femicide.

Tory Shaun Bailey is a MISOGYNIST #SexistShaun - the Jingle & Mingle Partygate apologist "Carol Vorderman tries to be a serious political commentator. But if you look at her on instagram it's all pictures of her bum(s) and her boobs. She can't be both." he grunted on GB News last wk. So Shaun thinks that women who wear lycra in the gym shouldn't be allowed a political opinion.... or I assume a vote! Failed Mayoral candidate #SexistShaun was made a Lord last year. Yet another Tory honour for dishonour Pls RT #SexistShaun

💔 Rest in Power

@Autotelic_Arch @nilerodgers Amazing! 🤩

Great to see the ever youthful @nilerodgers encouraging the younger generation at #Cop28Dubai and oldies like me!

We need more plants… #COP28 @theage

@nimtimtim Soon architects won’t be able to afford Adobe CS + Revit. Two key programs but both ridiculously expensive.

At some point all of our overheads are going to be business apps we can’t live without…

The good news is that the Melbourne Cup has entered its Flop Era! Only 11% of folks are really into the 'race that stops the Nation'. Luckily for everyone else, there are other cups we can enjoy. Off for a cuppa now xx #NupToTheCup

@Autotelic_Arch Too high - but can’t leave.

Architects annual retention fee is almost £200 💔🧟‍♂️ Is that
