Some delayed news due to strikes and job loses occurring at Newcastle. But was chuffed to win this and chat with Steve from @youthstudies.bsky.social about the paper a few weeks ago.

Been quiet here due to ongoing strikes at Newcastle re job cuts, now moving towards compulsory redundancies. Another uni wrecking its workforce and reputation due it own financial mismanagement. Please sign this petition and circulate: www.change.org/p/end-unnece...

Would rather be doing the lecture scheduled for today and various research meetings, but would also rather not see people lose their jobs www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

After a week of marking and more to do starting the day with the sunrise at Alnmouth beach was quite the tonic.

Otters in river by lesbury. My first spot and I have been hearing they are here for over a decade.

That is a sunrise, #alnmouth beach this morning.

Winter solstice ‘sunrise’ alnmouth beach

An old twitter habit was acknowledging last trip home from work (work will continue at home) of the year. So bye Newcastle till 2025
