@TechTimesTwo @CastroPodcasts Their website seems to be down too

@Sophieowls I’m here if you fancy a chat with non cost of admission ❤️

@cagglesproctor *cat. Although it sounds like a car in need of a service, I can confirm he is a cat.

@cagglesproctor Here is my car eating the smallest piece of smoked salmon in the loudest possible way. We both hope tomorrow is better.

Struggling really hard today. Please validate me with nice things and/or send pictures of your pets.

An exciting opportunity to get involved in IATL's new teaching workshops, Power in Motion, organised by Dr Theo Aiolfi. The workshops will cover the concept of Power in Motion. Register here: warwick.ac.uk/fac/cross_fac/…

@EmmaCraddock89 What’s particularly infuriated (other than the AWFUL tone) is the general assumption that any generalised finding can and should be applied to specific women’s experiences of their own bodies.

This article is equal parts cringey and infuriating. Another example of a man patronising and speaking down to women about menstruation, something he has and never will experience. forbes.com/sites/brucelee… #invisiblewomen #womenshealth #feminism #menstruation

This 👇🏻🩸

The tone of dismissal captured here, of a male dr talking to a woman about her menstrual cycle, will be familiar to so many women. The use of second person in the article is … chef’s kiss. It’s an uncanny parody. #notaparody #canyouhearyourself #invisiblewomen #everydaysexism

The full quote is a gem “Of course, your menstrual cycle ain’t like an atomic clock. It’s not even like a game show clock. If you use your menstrual cycle or any other bodily function alone to keep track of time, you’re probably going to miss a whole lot of meetings.” #notaspoof

This ⁦⁦@Forbes⁩ article spoofing the way male doctors talk to women is just spot on Come for the casual sexism. Stay for the bachelorette analogy ‘Of course, your menstrual cycle ain’t like an atomic clock. It’s not even like a game show clock.’ apple.news/Apu2uoVz8Sdiqz…

#UPDATE | The siege in #Coventry has been brought to a safe end this evening after officers forced their way into a property where a father had been barricaded in with his young son since Sunday. Specialist firearms officers moved in just after 8.30pm. ⬇️ ow.ly/VrPG50Hu6EI

On the left is the last photo I have of my mum alive in May 2020. Living alone with serious illness, she faced the pandemic with stoicism. We went for a walk around her local park. When she suggested sitting 2m apart in her garden, I said: better not, it’s against the rules.

bell hooks has been a pivotal person for so many, including me, in their growth as people and educators (the two being inextricably intertwined, as she argued). She was a force for critique and love. She made field of possibility.

@CCooperTech @zeninternet I’ve been able to find this but I’m not sure what it means, tbh! Looks like it will impact both fibre and copper-wire customers. My internet is still down

@delatoured @zeninternet Same here 16.27 to be exact. Called and logged a ticket but no follow up or email with case details

My fibre100 broadband has been fully down since 4.30pm @zeninternet. Nothing I’ve tried has made a difference. Can you help?

@DrLisaD @Jessifer Love this and love the metaphor of Brook’s white box for open scaffolding! Safe walls to play wildly.

Trying something new this year with my graphic syllabus. I also took @delatoured's challenge and added my teaching philosophy to each section to help with alignment of principles & practices, and committed to @Jessifer's "no busywork" pledge.

Sometimes old ideas have to die before new ones can be born. After more than 20 years of hoarding, I've burned my BA, MSc and PhD notes to ashes. With thanks - and fond memories - to @UniofOxford (1989-92) @UoLondon (1994-96) and @Uni_of_Essex (1997-2003)

Please don’t scroll past this tweet. Read the headline, then the article, (& the research if you have time) and think about what this means for how you’re living your life. ‘Three Americans create enough carbon emissions to kill one person, study finds’ theguardian.com/environment/20…

@NinnaMakrinov @SaldanhaViva @warwickuni @jess_humphreys @doctorjen I believe Warwick HSSREC is looking to streamline the process for ‘low risk’ projects (that don’t involve children, human tissue, or the risk of radiation poisoning, for example 😉). The team are wonderful for talking things through and very patient (even with bewildered me!).

@SaldanhaViva @warwickuni @jess_humphreys @doctorjen @delatoured And yes, interviews are the same whatever the field. I think the common methods of pedagogical research tend to be less invasive and potentially dangerous than those in other fields such as nuclear power or clinical trials.

Can we have a delegated sub ethics committee for pedagogical research @WarwickUni please? I can't make sense of having the same process for interviewing students and experimenting with nuclear bombs (I imagine no-one is doing that) @jess_humphreys @doctorjen @delatoured
