I drop back into Twitter from time to time. The amount of right wing, fascist, neo-nazi, pro-Russian garbage on there is alarming. I’m all for a balanced dialogue, but that isn’t it. That’s hate, and bots and manipulation.

It's been snowing in the UK and the road gritters are out in force, begging the question:

I teach History once a week, I’ve forgotten so much, but enjoying reading up on it again. Tomorrow we’re setting the scene for the events of 1066!

A volcano near the now evacuated Icelandic town of Grindavík has woken up after 800 years. But why has it started erupting again now? How long can the lava barriers protect homes? And what is going on underground? 8 Oct at the Ri & online! #ALD24 https://findingada.com/events/

Had my favourite fieldwork at Dawlish Warren ruined by two chaps who just walked off from the group. Followed by a parent of one of them insinuating it was my fault!
At least it didn’t rain! #geogchat
