I’m really trying to embrace the idea of saying yes to hard things at uni. I’ve signed up to talk about my research at my faculty’s monthly PGR seminar AND I’ve signed up to do an introduction to teaching in HE module. I find public speaking really challenging.

At some point these people have to reckon with the fact that they killed a man and they enjoyed every second of it
Recognition from fellow journalists is much appreciated as this is undoubtedly a difficult and polarising story, with a tragic outcome. Many people still do not accept its legitimacy but it was an important public interest story which sparked public debate about key issues of our age timeshighereducation.com/opi…

Anyone with a shred of journalistic integrity would be hanging their head in shame. Jack’s a bit gutted that a man died but is chuffed to be getting a pat on the back for a job well done.
Very happy to have been shortlisted in the Specialist Journalism category in this year's British Journalism Awards for my investigation into Cambridge University professor Jason Arday and the extensive plagiarism in his PhD thesis #BJA2026
Celebrating a “journalist” who played a part in a digital lynching that resulted in a man taking his own life. Ghoulish.

I’m hoping the Oxford St situation might bring to a head the need to get a grip on London cyclist behaviour. Red light observance is about 25%. As a pedestrian, I am far more nervous crossing a cycle lane than a road.
Can’t believe I’ve had to do another round of the awful process of getting rid of a pet’s stuff because they’re no longer here to use it. I miss my evil cat and my whiny little dog.

You can always tell when something in Britain has been pedestrianised because the chat swaps from “if those feckless disabled scroungers can walk to the kitchen, they can get a job” to “what of the poor, ailing disabled who need to be driven directly to the shop doorstep?”
They really are some of the worst offending degenerates of modern Britain.
Cyclists are continuing to ride along the newly pedestrianised section of Oxford Street, despite being asked to dismount.
Around seven security staff have been stationed near Oxford Circus, calling out to cyclists to get off their bikes, with mixed success.

Severe “lack of critical thinking skills” being displayed in discourse re: Oxford Street pedestrianisation.
It’s something that has the potential to both improve the experience for some whilst making it more challenging for others.
It’s not an either/or.

"We don’t need a TV experiment to see disabled people treated as a burden" - My thoughts on Channel 4's #TheExperiement for @IndyVoices
(unpaywalled) archive.ph/DQ4P8
ALT a screenshot from The Experiement showing Sophie Morgan a white blonde woman in a wheelchair and Matt fraser, a white grey haired man with an arms limb difference walking through an old aktion t4 centre. the headline reads "we don't need a tv experiment to see disabled people treated as a burden"
My family is dropping like flies. Two months ago the dog died, now my elderly cat (who isn’t a wanderer and has never missed a meal) has vanished into thin air. Presumably dead. Life is fucking cruel.
Cyclists will claim this is fine because more people are killed by cars and nobody died.
Yes. But I also recognise that discouraging parents with young children from coffee shops must also come with more spaces in society that do welcome young children. To have more child-free spaces we first need more spaces for them. They deserve to exist in society too.
When I go to a coffee shop, it's usually because I want a bit of peace & quiet, and a decent coffee.
I don't go to listen to toddlers screaming, and the single toilet being used as a smelly, baby-changing facility.
Should coffee shops have child-free days?
I think they should. They would make more profit.
I’ve had next to no sleep and I’ve just jumped into an online lecture to hear talks of breaking off into rooms to “make things more interactive” 🤢

The 'but cars' brigade will hate this in today's Times by the award-winning Janice Turner. She equates the clampdown on playing music loudly on public transport with cyclists running red lights. She is right. It's not just the danger but the entitlement that so annoys people.
