Time to end idea that SHAPE degrees are low value @bphillipsonMP. 'The disparity between STEM and humanities students on the job market is exaggerated – a 2020 @BritishAcademy_ report found just a single percentage point advantage'. varsity.co.uk/features/27881

Ever seen an ‘exploded plan’ before? 💥 Generally known as 'laid-out wall elevations', they were a popular architectural drawing format in the eighteenth century, allowing the often extravagant interior decorative regime to be shown on one sheet of paper! ✍️
ALT An architectural drawing of four wall elevations of an elegant green ballroom, with the walls displayed as if they have been pushed out flat from the central floor plan of the room.

14 July, that revolutionary feeling of happiness unthought of, joy of one as joy of many, France standing on the top of golden hours, nature reborn, as #Wordsworth put it so well

Strongly endorse plea from @BarbaraBleiman. And if @educationgovuk want to find out about how subjects are already shaping collaborative futures in schools, colleges and universities, do speak also to @EnglishAssoc @The_RHS @histassoc @SASNews.
In English, for instance, the Common English Forum is an umbrella group of organisations, each focused on different stages – EY, primary, secondary, university & initial teacher training - and on every aspect of subject English - reading, literature, oracy, linguistics. 2/

I'm aware that these notices are now going out to academics who are the life blood of goldsmiths, and brilliant teachers and researchers. This could be any of us and we all need to fight this. #NotADoneDeal

Solidarity to all our brilliant colleagues at @GoldsmithsUCU today. What a cruelly stupid and unnecessary ordeal you've been put through by a short-sighted management.

Le Champ de Drap D'Or, engraved by James #Basire during #Blake's apprenticeship, is I think the subject that required the invention of a new paper size. @JulieLong18thC, great to hear about the letter! imagine finding such a print folded in a book
ALT 'James Basire the Elder. 'Le Champ de Drap d'Or. The interview of Henry VIII, King of England, and the French King Francis I, between Guines and Ardres, in the month of June 1520'.

So I also learned that Sing a Song of Sixpence has a version where children are baked in the pie instead of birds, and Ladybird, Ladybird has a more blunt and unforgiving ending.
The book is Tommy Thumb's Pretty Song Book, c.1744
