Please sign this petition to support English, Theatre and Creative Writing at Birkbeck. Despite coming SECOND in REF 2021, and being a world-leading department, it is threatened with devastating cuts. Power to creative intellect in the heart of London.

@EmilyMayVine @SocialBodiesUoB Eighteenth-century letters at toddler teatime - thank goodness for hybrid!

[Tessa Whitehouse @mtwht]

Thanks for a wonderful seminar @EmilyMayVine and the rest of the @SocialBodiesUoB team - your reflections on scholars' duties of care, attention and sympathy were very powerful

@emw_marginalia Thanks for sharing this. Have you noticed any patterns relating to a person's religious commitments/denomination? Is this more common among certain groups?

[LambethPalaceLibrary @lampallib]

Is it a book? Is it embroidery? It's both!
This rare and large embroidered binding shows the "soft self-wounding pelican", an emblem of sacrifice, wrought in beautiful silver thread. (E185 1629 [**]) #TextileTuesday #rarebooks #bookbindings

@BetterStsNewham @NewhamLondon @RBKC @CamdenCouncil @JamesAsser It's very good news. And then Balmoral Road/Katherine Road can be pedestrianised!

[Tessa Whitehouse @mtwht]

Proposals for a new LTN are welcome. Next: a borough-wide 20mph speed limit as a necessary part of creating a healthier urban environment in @NewhamLondon - including Romford Road! It's working in @RBKC, @CamdenCouncil etc
