So sorry to be missing APTIS UKI 2024 at Bob Warwick hosted by Translation at Warwick... Hopefully there will be a hashtag and I'll try to follow!

My roundtable on creating visibility and recognition of TIS and languages (and the programmes associated with them) in HE starts after the coffee break... #APTIS2024... Have a great conversation, and let me know what you talk about! Would have loved to be there. :P

My parents are getting an absolute run-around from AT&T- two months without service, told contradictory things when they call, constantly told "all you need is this", but then it's not, told it'll be back by a particular date, but then it's not... Shame on you, AT&T.

OK, so I'm definitely behind the times, but so annoyed to see that Skype has gotten rid of Skype Credit! Bring it back! :)

I hope the ceasefire can be the start of actual peace and rebuilding for the humans affected by this conflict. It's hard to know what to say. Let the bombing never start again, let people be allowed to live in dignity. Let the necessary work be done now.

This is made clear further down the thread, but you do not need to know Arabic to participate!

Shocking news from Cardiff, with proposals to cut 400 jobs and courses in ancient history, modern languages and translation, music, nursing, and theology. Solidarity with all colleagues there as they contest these plans. walesonline.co.uk/news/education…

What does one say about the US press conference on Gaza? As an American, I find this appalling, but not surprising. US should help rebuild Gaza, bc we supplied and continued supplying weapons for this destruction, despite knowing what was happening. But rebuild for Palestinians.

An unlicensed copy of the censored BBC film "Gaza: How to Survive a Warzone" has been uploaded to French video sharing platform Dailymotion: dailymotion.com/video/k1UHiQWu…
