Remembering when, in the wake of a conversation in which I questionably proposed ideological overlap between Aphra Behn and Jilly Cooper, I produced this mashup:

Dear friends,
As have become a habit, I mark each #autumnequinox by sharing a small poem by Xin Qiji. I also start my translation cycle of Chinese and Japanese poems and prose that mark the twenty-four lunisolar micro-seasons. Translation notes blogged here:

Michael Mann and Peter Hotez are leading experts on climate change and vaccines, respectively, and in recent years, have both been targeted by those who seek to discredit them. That experience led the two to come together to write the new book "Science Under Siege."

📢 Today the Academy launches a major new report urging action to tackle a growing crisis in our universities. Cuts to courses mean more regions than ever are ‘cold spots’ for access to many SHAPE subjects - with even more at risk. 🧵

Reform UK, which has a grand total of four MPs, was just given an uninterrupted platform for an hour and a half on the BBC and Sky News channels, in order to talk about its plans for mass deportations

When was the last time the Greens (with four MPs) or the Lib Dems (with 72) were given the same?

Great to see _Mason & Dixon_, which I love, getting its due here. Slightly disconcerting to see almost half of the novels/collections dismissed as thematically interesting but basically incoherent.
