Just to say - I'm not using Twitter any more, for the obvious reasons. After 16 years (!!). But do find me over on Instagram, which also has significant 'issues' of course but is, at least, usually much more positive and/or less awful. https://t.co/s8HPwAbDhG

It's nice to make things! Recent releases include 'Creativity' book & audiobook (it's a book about the *doing* of creativity), an EP & two singles (it's electronic music), and two new videos (it's talks about creativity with pictures) - links to all at https://t.co/c522VPQgyc

@grimalkina Lots of good answers but I’m surprised at the number of people wanting you to spend time patiently sending the editor a package of evidence to educate them that race is a thing and gender is a thing 😳😳😳 errrr is this the 1920s

[David Gauntlett @davidgauntlett]

@yotarimouse @grimalkina @AndrewMeyerJDM “don’t expect race and gender to matter much” 😂 … With insight like that, there’s not really much point doing any actual fieldwork, this guy could use his big brain to just guess stuff, I’m sure that would be excellent

Gaza is a 'textbook genocide'.

This is according to Raz Segal - an Israeli associate professor of Holocaust and genocide studies at Stockton University in the US.

Listen carefully to what he says.

It's based on facts, law and precedent - and it should terrify you.

@SSHRC_CRSH My excellent PhD student set the deadline for her reference letter, for SSHRC Doctoral Awards, as yesterday at 8pm. I spent the preceding 24 hrs clicking 'refresh' so I could support her but was never able to upload the text. Please can you confirm this will be extended. 🙏 🙏

@excusememai Hi, yes I always felt it was kinda fluid. But today, unlike 10-20 years ago, trans and non-binary lives are much more visible and show that gender is much more fluid than people typically thought, even quite recently

[David Gauntlett @davidgauntlett]

@excusememai Er thanks!

[David Gauntlett @davidgauntlett]

@MattGooderson @rillesmusic @sofractures We ‘met’ because of YOU @MattGooderson posting about @rillesmusic’s blogpost!

[David Gauntlett @davidgauntlett]

@rillesmusic @MattGooderson @sofractures And look at this artwork!! Beautiful.

[David Gauntlett @davidgauntlett]

@rillesmusic @MattGooderson @sofractures … but EXACTLY THIS is what is magic about making connections on digital media! Sigh! Life is complicated. But I’m really happy to discover your work Kellyn.

One of the most important and clear ways to stand out is having a great portfolio. @thecreativeschl students are getting tips and suggestions from our own @davidgauntlett !
