yep!

Worth remembering that both Corbyn elections garnered more votes than the recent Labour landslide

as long as they give me salt with it, I'm good...(keeping expectations low)

they always struck me as smart 😃🐾

you're absolutely right! I am sure someone has written about this somewhere (and if not, this is crying for a cultural history monograph...)

I am guessing it has to do with some kind of weird (and decontextualised) health fad - same as when USA began being afraid of fat but not of sugar or aspartame. Worst bit is, I constantly feel like I have to apologise for adding stuff to food just to make it edible

funnily enough, I am a fan of Sunday roast (minus the meat, of course, I am vegetarian) because it is one of the rare trad meals that comes with (sometimes even not over-processed!) vegetables

OK, rant over. follow me for more unpopular opinions 🧞‍♀️

....it's almost as if someone at some point convinced people here that drowning everything in half a gallon of
olive oil (or other fats) and a minor garlic farm is "cuisine".

ALSO, VEGETABLES ARE FOOD, NOT DECORATION

I mean, I don't buy plastic sandwiches (nor crisps, snacks and other shit people in the UK consider 'food') and I haven't eaten in a Michelin-starred restaurant here (possibly ever?), but I have had *some* sample of almost everything in-between due to travel and the *only* exceptions are migrant-run

is it? am glad I am not the only one.....

I try not to 'eat out' - apart from occasional meals with friends, or when my schedule means I cannot cook or bring a food box I've prepared earlier - but gosh, just a random sample (across north and south) these months has made me seriously consider intermittent fasting so I can avoid it entirely

I’m expecting them to advertise roles that are the equivalent of Cover Supervisors in schools - cheap and unqualified people who deliver content to cover illness/strike/recruitment issues. Not even PhD students

as they say, you are not wrong :)

agh this should've been *prevents* enclosure by module tsars 🤦

As someone who has insisted for years I bring other people into modules that are my area of expertise, and equally insisted that teaching is not "stand up and deliver/read from someone's slides" where you can just be slotted into an absent colleague's schedule, I think we need creative resistance.
