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!)
