I’m striking today in opposition to planned £140m cuts at the University of Edinburgh. Less than three years ago, I left the University of Roehampton after all the academics in my School were sent letters telling us we were being put at risk of redundancy.

They were fun titles at first but then it got to be a bit of a tree ring circus by the end

Andy Hom @therealisthom.bsky.social · Jun 13

Vandals wrecked it so you better check it — a great paper on the many ontological securities of a single iconic tree.

Lauren Rogers @laurenrogers.bsky.social · Jun 13

Luke and I wrote a paper!

Two years ago, the Sycamore Gap Tree was cut down in the dead of night. Responses to this "act of vandalism" made us think about the role of nature in ontic space, and dualism between human and non/human allows for destruction of nature.

First up we have our social media coordinator, Lauren Rogers! BISA is a great conference for early career scholars to test out new work and get feedback. Lauren's paper was later published in our sister journal, @ejisbisa.bsky.social.

Yep + super slow processor, too many casual touches in the middle 100’ of the ice, one trick pony from one spot in only one type of situation. Fragile and expensive.

#GoHabsGo better was better than the #AllCaps better for much of the series, just got goalied, refereed, and couple bounces. Full marks to the rebuild.

The Stanley Cup playoffs are a cruel game of fine margins. Of the 16 teams in the first round, all of the top eight in xG% in all game situations have either won, or are ahead in, their series, except for the #Canadiens.

Pritzker firing the starting gun for the 2028 Dem primaries:

Pritzker: It's time for us to be done with optimism about their motives.

Time to stop wondering if you can trust the nuclear codes to people who don't know how to organize a group chat. It's time to stop ignoring the hypocrisy in wearing a big gold cross while announcing the defunding of children's cancer research... Autistic kids and adults who are loving contributors to our society don't deserve to be stigmatized by a weird

nepo baby who once stashed a dead bear in his car. Our military service

members don't deserve to be told by a washed-up Fox TV commentator, who drank too much before being appointed Secretary of Defense, that they can't serve their country simply because they are Black, gay, or a woman.
