@DrCGrosvenor @ExeterFilm @UniofExeter So happy for you, Chris!

Having been employed on a number of casual, temp and yearly-fixed term contracts since 2018, I can (finally!) say that I have been offered and accepted a permanent role as Lecturer in Film Studies (E&R) at the University of Exeter. @ExeterFilm @UniofExeter

My amazing colleague!

Our rivers are choking on pollution, we’re losing our precious woodlands, our seas are overfished & our peat bogs are being burned. Pledge to march with me on June 22nd in London. RestoreNatureNow.com #RestoreNatureNow

@MerriamWebster Bureaucracy. I spell it so baldy even Word doesn't recognise it to correct it.

What word is your spelling nemesis? This is a safe space.

@martinmbauer Realism in visual media. Changes their entire perspective that it's a set of historical conventions and makes visible the current conventions.

*Everybody* who learns quantum mechanics will have their worldview changed at a fundamental level. If we were to design a lecture series called “This will make you rethink everything you know’ , what other topics must be on that list ? (No matter the field or how specialised)

To the guy who came up to me after a talk today to give me 'tips on how to make it better' because 'he wasn't really interested in that boring stuff'- for a second there I thought literally having written the book might make me the expert but phew very glad to be corrected 👏

@VCH_London @UkNatArchives @KingsLibraries @pablodiablo74 @IHR_Library @ihr_history @SASNews @CoxLetters @carter740 @beyondnotables @_MattShaw Charles Dickens also wrote scathingly in 1850 about the "lady-searchers" who he hoped would be discouraged by the PRO's practice of asking for nominal fees.

So this dropped into our inbox this morning. It's a scan of a letter from November 1904, in the early days of our project. It's a complaint, from S.R. Scargill-Bird to our editor, William Page. But a complaint about what? (transcription in the ALT text).

@PascaleExeter So much this. Had exactly the same experience. And it happens every. Damn. Term.

I've literally spent 90 minutes trying to set up my office hour booking system for the term. Soooooo frustrating! (finally worked out what went wrong, but really 🤬🤬🤬)
