Reading, writing, drinking black coffee, and currently studying #AppliedEnglish MA after 20 years #WritersCommunity #WeAreUoN #SENDParent #MatureStudent

Anyone wanting to study an online MA in English should seriously look at this: so far I have studied things like Vikings, Mary Wollstonecraft, Agatha Christie, Victorian Literature and Place Names. Wonderfully eclectic and marvellously diverse! From anywhere in the world 🌍

Amidst the chaos, this woman held up a sign saying: 'Hope not hate. Racism not welcome here'.

Absolutely outstanding by @coldplay tonight at #Glastonbury - they always put on a great show, but this is incredible and so positive #FixYou

WHY PARLIAMENT SHOULD RELOCATE TO NOTTINGHAM: A TEN POINT ARGUMENT.
We all know UK politics has got moribund, stuck in the overheated overpriced South East corner and needs a shake up. I have the solution. Relocate to Nottingham. Here’s why...🧵

[Tim Linehan @timlinehan]

When I was much younger, before I had children, before I had a child who couldn’t go to school, I worked for a children’s charity. I got a call one day from Channel4. Can we comment on the first parent to be sent to jail for not sending her child to school? 🧵1/9

Conservatives are promising 100 GP surgeries

In 2010, there were 8,458 GP surgeries
In 2024, there are 6,311 GP surgeries

So 2,147 GP surgeries have closed since the Conservatives took office in 2010, and they are trying to entice you with 100?

Have some self respect and vote for Labour, LibDem, Green, SNP, Plaid Cymru, whichever candidate will remove your Conservative MP

[Victoria Derbyshire @vicderbyshire]

A UK judge when jailing a man for strangling his wife told him she was ‘a drunken woman who regularly made his life a misery’

‘The evidence is most of the arguments were started by your wife, & those consisted of her repeatedly & continuously belittling & undermining you. There were dozens of callouts to the police, but most of these I am sure involved exaggerated or false complaints by Dawn against you’

Thks to @glosswitch & @JMoncktonSmith for highlighting this

I read a book about this very thing last year, and it did not end well… #ItsTheEndOfTheWorld #SHTF

📢Today's spotlight is on the Vikings for Schools team (@UoNCSVA), for emerging finalists in the Best Schools Initiative category of #IPEAwards.

We are proud of how they are helping primary school children build literacy, writing, sensory engagement, and problem solving skills.

[Applied English (MA English) online @UoNAppEnglish]

Such a brilliant initiative, congratulations to @UoNCSVA! Some of our online students (who aren't so distant) have been getting involved with Vikings for Schools, and have thoroughly enjoyed volunteering.

@rsbuck @UniofNottingham @UoNAppEnglish It was great to see you there and join in with the celebrations 🎉

[Written Kitten @readwriteandgo]

Having been to the first event of the day, I can absolutely recommend this fabulous talk taking place on Eventbrite at 7pm GMT: I mean, haunted saucepans! (I always knew there was something suspicious about cooking)

Agatha Christmasie!

If you, like us, think there's nothing more festive than a murder mystery, then you'll love our pod on The Queens of Crime Fiction. It focuses on the work of four female authors of detective fiction and their 20th-century context.

Benjamin Zephaniah on his refusal to accept an OBE.

'No way Mr Blair, no way Mrs Queen. I am profoundly anti-empire.'

Rest in power.

What to make of Robert Jenrick’s resignation over Rwanda legislation?

The cynical manoeuvres of a man who will be best remembered for his performative efforts to frighten refugee children.

A great little trip to campus on a cold morning: although I wasn’t quite sure if I was in Nottingham or a mystical realm! One of the many fabulous things about studying via @UoNAppEnglish is that I get to enjoy views like this occasionally!

[Written Kitten @readwriteandgo]

@UoNAppEnglish Amazing news, congratulations!
