Been struggling with x for a while, think it's definitely time to call it a day. The unsolicited unpleasant and offensive stuff in my feed makes it a place I no longer want to be. Hope to find all the peeps/orgs that I do want to follow, without distractions, in another place

An expert in fashion sustainability from @NottmTrentUni has become the institution’s first to be awarded a Philip Leverhulme Prize 👏👏 @LeverhulmeTrust @AmyTwiggerH ntu.ac.uk/about-us/news/news…

Spent the last two days in a wonderful archive tracking of Ewart Myers and Co as part of my @pasoldfund Colonial Lace Legacies: the evolution of regional design and cultural education in the 19th C

Today we held our kick off symposium for our QAA funded project to explore AI tools in textiles. thought provoking speakers - Lars Holmquist @NottmTrentUni, Bea Wohl from UAL & Liberty's. Fabulous collaboration with great partners.

I've decided to draw a series of pictures chronicling the worst types of public behaviour. Any others I should draw?

Sherwood - what phenomenal actors - #LesleyManville #MonicaDolan and #LorraineAshbourne ❤️

thank you @GedlingBC and the #purifoundation for the improvements to our local #breckhill park😊

No, not 💯 Elon. In the U.K. they’re not going round ‘finding people who’ve said something they disagree with and putting them in a f—king cage.’ Some people are being charged for inciting racial hatred and for organising acts of violence. It’s very specific, and it’s the law in most democracies including the US. For example, one person has pleaded guilty today to inciting an attack on a hotel housing asylum seekers: an attack which then took place. Another hotel was set on fire, with people still inside. Freedom carries responsibility: and freedom of speech carries with it the responsibility of each of us to use our words wisely and to be aware of the damage misinformation can cause. To be clear, criminal violence directed towards various communities in the U.K. was perpetrated as a result of malicious and specifically targeted misinformation online. And it’s a relief no-one was killed. Words matter. And yet here you are, running a huge information network, and all you can do is post 💯 over something you choose not to verify for accuracy, not alert people to it’s highly damaging nature. In fact, because of who you are, your 💯 gives it a stamp of approval in the eyes of those who seek validation for their actions. What we say and do has real consequences. That’s because we’re not in a matrix, we’re in real life, and sticking 💯 on a lie doesn’t turn it into truth.

'Shall I tell you why you don't remember that story? It was a black kid - and a white man had the sword.' 'Where were the riots' after the Hainault stabbing, asks @mrjamesob.

It's graduation time and this year it's particularly special, as one of the students in my dept #Georgia Stevenson has redesigned the @NottmTrentUni gowns. I was also honoured to give an outstanding alumni award citation to #angela fusco

Why are we so comfortable denigrating the creative output of our grandmothers? It may seem insignificant within the context of much more urgent global issues, but in a new piece for Hyperallergic, I argue that it is symptomatic of the systematic devaluation of feminized labor.

British Athletics Championships and olympic trials June 29th 24

my daughter competed in 400m hurdles in the British Athletics Championships yesterday - very proud 10/25

what a great shot of @NottmTrentUni and Nottingham at the end of the BBC debate tonight.

You don't need any other stats.

Rishi Sunak promised to bring down NHS waiting lists. They’ve gone up again today. Only Labour can bring them down. We've done it before and we’ll do it again. #ITVDebate

Really chuffed to have been awarded a research project grant from @pasoldfund for 'Colonial Lace Legacies: the evolution of regional design and cultural education in the 19th C' @ntu_research @NTUArtandDesign - looking forward to getting in some archives
