happy one year to the argentine tango that ended all other argentine tangos

The human urge to complete an undergrad, masters, and PhD because your third grade teacher said you had potential

Getting hate speeched by my neighbour whilst studying hate speech for my dissertation was not on my bingo card for 2024

Used what I learnt in both of my degrees to take on my former company in an issue of disputed meaning after they withheld money from me. I won and I couldn't be happier 🎉

@Siobhan_M_HQ I am the rep! I’m trying so hard to make this change. But you’re right, no one cares about us.

[Linguistics at Huddersfield @HuddLinguistics]

@AHHuddersfield And already you’re making people redundant and closing subject areas. This is nothing to celebrate. Could you be any more insensitive?

[Prof. Lesley Jeffries @lesley_jeffries]

Unless you want to study Linguistics in which case go somewhere else as they've closed down our courses

[Maeling Booth @mae39001]

@HuddLinguistics @HUDVC @HUD_DVC No response!

[Callum Kay @callum_kay1]

The fight to save @HuddLinguistics is still underway. Linguistics at Huddersfield us know internationally for its cutting-edge and innovative research. Students come to Huddersfield on the basis that the course is taught by the best linguists in the country. (1)

Frankly, I don’t give a fuck about my own opinion on abortion. I don’t have a uterus.

[Caoimhe🚨 @caoimhets]

I think all exams should be open book. It increases note taking skills that are actually used in life and the work place and it would decrease exam stress. It’s unfair to assume all students can retain mass amounts of info. Exams should be application based and not a memory test.
