[Rose Crossgrove @rcrossgve]

@letterstojuly let us know when you're about and we can see if someone else is there

[Rose Crossgrove @rcrossgve]

@NatashaHodgson the biggest thing is not to over plant to begin with - give things space and see what likes the soil/light/pots you've got. the RHS has beginner's guides on their website https://t.co/MIPuxur2eE

these amazing overtalented clowns 💛 (also bloody hell @christian_leeA)

museums now convinced all domestic and foreign visitors terrified by the word 'of'

The potential loss of both the Queer History and Black History MAs along with 40% of the Education Studies department who have fought for inclusive education for decades will be a huge loss to the history and teaching community @histassoc @1972SHP and must be fought against

Last month @RoyalHistSoc published an Update to its 2018 report 'Race, Ethnicity & Equality in UK History': https://t.co/mGJ0F0nv0R

The Update surveys developments in teaching and made special mention of the Black British History Masters @HistoryGold 1/3 🧵⬇️

The comments here make it incredibly clear how necessary and important historical research and teaching like this is. It continues to show how it is the management of Goldsmiths who are not fit for purpose, not the staff

[Rose Crossgrove @rcrossgve]

@DaveyCumming getting the Tories out is important but there's a reality of a lack of engagement with the current version of the Labour party and their remarkably familiar policies

What you need to know for polling day:

❗ Don’t forget to bring photo ID

✅ Don’t worry if your ID is out of date. You can use out of date photo ID, if it still looks like you and the name is the same as the one you used when you registered to vote.

[Rose Crossgrove @rcrossgve]

@NatashaHodgson genuinely shocked it's not in Hebden Bridge

[Rose Crossgrove @rcrossgve]

@ZoeBobRoberts The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers is amazing world building. Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree is great fluffy holiday reading. An eternal favourite of mine is Travels with My Aunt by Graham Greene - we should all be more Aunt Augusta

[Rose Crossgrove @rcrossgve]

You have until 5pm on Tuesday 18th to register - what better way to spend Sunday?

If this sounds like your idea of a good time have you registered to vote yet?

[weird medieval guys @WeirdMedieval]

this bit right before also goes so hard....

[Rose Crossgrove @rcrossgve]

@DaveyCumming @mincemeatlive I hear they've got ties with real velcro now fame has gone to their heads

[Rose Crossgrove @rcrossgve]

@supersarahstars do we need to stage an intervention

[Rose Crossgrove @rcrossgve]

I was also very disappointed to see a complete lack of knitting and crochet throughout the whole exhibition. Apparently some fibre arts traditions are still too craft to be considered proper art (3/3)

[Rose Crossgrove @rcrossgve]

Just out of the Unravel Exhibition at the Barbican & was struck by several frustrating things despite some amazing pieces. Obviously at a base level there's an irony that the exhibition itself has become a site of protest due to the Barbican's actions towards Pankaj Mishra (1/3)

[Rose Crossgrove @rcrossgve]

but I was also frustrated to get an underlying feeling of exoticising of fibre art in protest through a lack of examples from the UK and frequent reference to particular region's traditions as if it were unusual to have a long history of regional fibre art (2/3)
