The second session of @srhe.bsky.social #AcWriMo2025 is today! Regular #writing means the thinking can continue more easily between sessions. #HigherEducation #academia 🤓

It was good to run the first of four @srhe.bsky.social #AcWriMo2025 sessions this week with academics appreciating protected time to #write. It's NOT a given in our workloads even though it's expected and part of performance management. Next session is Monday. #HigherEducation # academia

Another fantastic read - #CreationLake by Rachel Kushner with a wonderful cover by @jenniferdionisio.com. I'm mining a rich reading seam these days - a great tonic for stress and fatigue. 😎 Next up #ElizabethTaylor ( not that one!)

Am conferencing with #SHS2025 at the Black County Living Museum. Despite Birmingham New Street trying to spoil the fun today, arrived with a minute to spare and now know more about Co-ops, eggs and material culture than I ever did! Good fish and chips too! More to come tomorrow!
