@Lukeaqueer For the last time, I'm not going to call you 'society'

Giving the books away, making a bigger toddler bedroom means thesis notes in the bin, thesis embargo goes this year. Running out of 'not going to be a lecturer' milestones, this is probably the last one.

@D_T_Ballantyne No Keele was top of my list of candidates but its just not local haha. We got any Manchester based Keele people who would ferry?

Uni people! I've got 25ish history books that are no good for charity shops and I don't want to just throw away. Anyone got any leads for how I could get this to a university (people also welcome to have them if they'll take them all).

Used to actively discourage students on my modules from this

@KingImpulse Kieran if you want us to buy you a paddling pool there are other ways to go about it.

@gwprice207 Proudest moment of my Keele life was finding the same unregistered book in the library twice.

It’s Monday, so let’s play a game:

Everyone who RT’s this enters a drawing for a free paperback copy of #KingdomOfNauvoo. It’s your chance to get what @NewYorker called “compelling history,” & @WSJ described as “one of the grand, underappreciated sagas.”

Deadline tomorrow.

I can make these jokes because i 100% have internalized these habits myself

[James Williamson @jpwilliamson2]

10 years ago: 'Millennials are entitled!'

Today: 'Millennials have so thoroughly and successfully internalised capitalist work habits that they're now the gatekeepers against the new generation.'

@IamthatGuy1986 My PG uni provided a one size fits all teaching module across all disciplines, meaning that this History PG got taught a couple of times about teaching in a lab.

@edwardmair @Branch19th Definitely went to one panel at Edinburgh

[James Williamson @jpwilliamson2]

@E_M_Barnes @Branch19th Probably better that someone goes who actually goes to the panels

[James Williamson @jpwilliamson2]

@Branch19th Pretty jealous
