Anyway, some of you might recognise my cat.

Marketing is a psyop we inflicted on ourselves and you should be very wary of anybody involved in it.

Unbelievably, #DuvetKnowItsChristmas generates such good will on social media that over the years we've raised somewhere approaching a quarter of a million quid for homeless charities. If you can spare a bob or two, sling some to Centrepoint, and here's the link: www.gofundme.com/f/duvet-know...

A big part of being a historian is being a detective! Who did this? Why? Where? Why does it matter in the grand scheme of things? You have to learn how to probe, how to uncover, how to read against the grain, how to find unusual sources, how to interpret those sources. How to piece together a puzzle
It also robs students of learning *how* to research.

friendly reminder: ai being pushed so hard and so vehemently into education is not because "this future is inevitable and we have to adapt"
it's because companies have invested billions into this technology and they need everyone to use it to make a profit.

"Sucking at something is kind of the first step to being awesome at it."
For the record, it's also fine to keep sucking at it and just enjoying it. See: my guitar playing.

Please don't let the fear of not doing something well stop you from trying it for the first time. Write a messy story. Paint a crappy flower. Whittle the worst wooden bear of all time.
The best gift you can give yourself is to have fun and grow.
