Delighted that the newly-minted DOCTOR @katherinewyers.bsky.social will be presenting our research at the second #TRAI symposium this afternoon. I am mildly diseased and will be decompressing in the brief window that punctuates today’s 3-hour teaching bloc, but she’ll be onscreen in all her glory!

It cannot be made clearer.

If you continue to support the Harry Potter franchise in any way, you are directly funding the removal of trans people's human rights in the UK.

This week, the Global Sumud Flotilla tried to deliver life-saving aid to Gaza.

Instead, 461 people—including New Yorkers—have been detained by the Israeli military.

They must be freed at once. And the deliberate starvation of Palestinians must end now.

There is no more time for excuses: as the evidence of Israel’s genocide continues to mount the international community cannot claim they didn’t know.

It is over for the genocide deniers.

Even the BBC is now splashing on the UN commission of inquiry concluding that Israel has committed genocide.

Those who supported Israel's onslaught:

You backed a genocide.

You will never scrub the shame away.

This article on #LOTE has long been a passion project of mine. I can’t express how grateful I am to the brilliant Sarah Sharpe at JISS/Aberdeen for making time/space for (as I was then) unaffiliated ECRs to develop their research and make that idea a thing. jiss.aberdeenunipress.org/article/411/...

oh, we can detect it, with our eyes. It's that we don't have the time or resources to evidence or the reassurance that our academic misconduct systems support us.

Plus: I'd rather invest energy in supporting students to develop their skills & knowledge than in chasing those who don't want to learn.
One in seven UK undergraduates admit to having submitted work for assessment that was partly or entirely produced by artificial intelligence, with many believing universities are ill-equipped to detect the technology, reports @tashmosheim.bsky.social

Poll finds most students see generative technology as a support tool, but small minority use it to generate entire assessment submissions

Wanted my first #EdFringe related post to be a positive one BUT we needed to kill time between shows and popped in to the Pear Tree at a time when Daniel Muggleton was doing a free gig and…yeah, steer clear of this casual homophobia-laden dogshit.

We’re heading to court tomorrow for the first step in our challenge against the EHRC’s transphobic guidance.

Together with two trans people and one person who is intersex, we’ll be asking the court for permission to bring our case.

We’ll let you know as soon as the court decides.

Okay, so very briefly, here’s the state of abortion in the U.K.: it’s still illegal in GB! (Legal in NI) However, you can get one legally if you get a doctor to affirm that it’s a risk to your health- and that includes mental health, so it is de facto very easy to get a free legal abortion. BUT.
