I'm proud to announce that applications are now open for the Equality, Diversity, and Inclusion Student Project Awards in AHC.

Interested in working on a project of your own or making a zine, to promote equality, diversity, and inclusion?

I crossed continents via bus. Here's how it went:

The Metrobus network in Istanbul is extensive. It cuts through the middle of congested highways at speed and with high frequency. The buses themselves are high-capacity, with a culture of giving up seats to those who need them.

Genuinely delighted to download a PhD thesis from a university repository where the author has neglected to remove the words "BITCH THIS IS YOUR THESIS" from the filename.

Absolutely astounded that the UCU and Unison branches at Kent and Greenwich were not consulted, and that staff only found out about the merger this morning via BBC news and Kent Online. Solidarity to all colleagues.

A personal thread about perceived threat vs actual threat, fear and flags, because recent events around asylum seekers in the UK and the flag based responses, and the way they are discussed in the media is really bothering me 1/

Overheard a conversation on the train into London yesterday, and one of the women said "I like to live somewhere where I feel inspired" and I feel like I'll be thinking about that for some time

Whatever you do today, please book an appointment to donate blood if you can, and speak about your mental health. It is a national scandal how many young men and others are taking their own lives #ItsOkayToTalk
