Assistant Prof of Eng Lit at @UoNEnglish. Views mine, inasmuch as that's possible.

@arrroberts It was covered in the Irish Times (https://t.co/xfKdtwyfSM) - likeliest route of transmission to the British papers? (August ie silly season on both sides of the Irish Sea.)

@avaunt_la_garde ... but not quite as impossible. (That's my best guess, anyway.)

[Steven Morrison @sjmorrison3]

@avaunt_la_garde As a pseudonym (at George Russell's invitation) for the Irish Homestead, Daedalus ... why not? Whereas, for the surname for the protagonist of a novel which still has one foot in naturalism, Dedalus ... it's still impossible ...

Look out for a @BBCFreeThinking exploration of Anna Kavan in January, with Victoria Walker, Carole Sweeny, @northactually and me all intrepidly led into the icy wastes by @DrMatthewSweet

@emilieKMmurphy Me saying 'I don't know' to a group of first years is, I think, the most important thing I do in any given academic year. It's a moment of learning that underpins and informs all the others.

@helenksaunders I ended up with a tiny two-seater because I let the stress get to me. Avoid. If the sofa you've picked is the one that you want, a way will be found to get it where it needs to be. Believe!

I'm sad to say that we're on the same boat. Precarious conditions need to end, it isn't healthy for us or for academia. Our conditions have a huge impact on students. If I'm overworked and lack job security, how can I support students? #OneOfUsAllOfUs #UCUstrike @UoNUCU @ucu

[River Butterworth SU @UoNSU_Education]

Here is why the @UoNUCU staff have no choice but to go on strike.

As Students, we need to stand with all striking staff on this. Their working conditions are our learning conditions, so their fight is our fight.

"So, the first thing they say - 'Oh! He’s read James Joyce,' you know. So I hadn’t. And so the first thing I do is buy Finnegans Wake and read a chapter. And it’s great, you know, and I dug it, and I felt as though he's an old friend."

- John Lennon, born OTD in 1940
