Butshilo is great, so I can strongly recommend any York dwellers letting him know (Butshilo) if you'd like to explore this!

Woohoo! Such good news for brilliant TFTI University of York colleague, Dr Katherine Graham!

Theatre review: Jitney at The Courtyard, Leeds Playhouse with Headlong - britishtheatreguide.info/reviews/jitney…

"If you care about your students, if you care about the future of the university, the place to be is on the picket lines." Powerful speeches - from everyone from students to heads of department - at the UCU UOY is telling our UEB they are wrong rally. #UCUstrikes

I didn't make the picket line this morning (storms, school run, transport) but I'm sharing what I got the chance to say at yesterday's rally outside Heslington Hall. The video doesn't have the start of my (impromptu) words... #UCUStrikes #OneOfUsAllOfUS

Quick summary of the #ussmess situation. USS calculated a deficit in 2020 by looking at the value of the pension funds assets at the most anomalous dip in stock market value of the last century. UUK propose to pay the resultant forecasted debt with our retirement income. 1/3

I've been rubbish at tweeting, but I loved Invisible Mending by the wonderful Yoshika Colwell & Second Body. If you're at the Fringe you've one more chance to see it today at 16.45! Lovely, warm, melancholy story, and some beautiful singing and music. tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/invis…

Walk-Man by @DonGnu was right up my street (sorry). Simple ingredients combining in a superb dance/physical piece, with charming performers and a wry, warm wit. Run, don't walk, to get a ticket (sorry). tickets.edfringe.com/whats-on/walk-…

What, running the risk of an undemocratic selection process that destabilises the country and tanks the economy...? Oh no!

Yes, 400k-worth of asymmetrical surveillance tech. to spy on teaching spaces should do absolute wonders for rebuilding damaged trust between HE academic staff & management…

Another fantastic community show from York Theatre Royal! It's sold out, but York folk should try for returns - or the filmed version which has a screening at the end of August.

As someone who has spent a LOT of time thinking about co-creation over the last 15 years, I see a lot of orgs and processes claiming that things are co-created when I don’t think they really are. 🧵

And if you'll be out of the country on 4 July, you can apply for a postal or proxy vote!
