Modern language degrees are at risk at Cardiff Uni... urging everyone at UoA to sign the petition in solidarity. If we can save our language degrees, we can surely support the same resistance elsewhere.

I'm so sick of calling a company to talk to a real person and their automated system telling me to use live chat and/or visit their website! If those things were helpful I wouldn't be waiting 30 mins on the phone!!!!

Totally agree with Ellie here. Leaving Twitter was extremely difficult because even after all of the toxic changes made by Musk, it was still undoubtedly the best place to get news.

After yesterday's events, it's no longer morally justifiable to maintain an account there regardless of how
I stayed on Twitter longer than I should've - mostly because I found it an invaluable source of news that I just don't get elsewhere.

But if you're at a rally and there's a Nazi there, and you do nothing about it, you're at a Nazi rally. I just can't defend continuing to use an app owned by Musk.
