Thank you SO MUCH for doing this. I use these graphics in an @sotongeogenviron.bsky.social 3rd year module on #climateadaptation. This year I lamented the absence of evidence with students and shared this screenshot instead. Hiding climate impact evidence does not stop climate change!

I’m back in the #marking zone. 130 exam scripts with 2 week marking deadline. Normal posts about work will resume in Feb! Until then here is a #cat

Dear #academicsky looking for motivation to finish marking before Christmas. For others in the same position - good luck and here is a picture of a #crosscat awoken by too loud typing of feedback. Any inspiration of temporary distraction appreciated.

Forgot to charge my #EV. Detoured from usual commute to charge in a pub car park. @unisouthampton.bsky.social can we have some EV chargers in main uni car parks please
