Talking about slime :)
12 Nov 2022
The revolutionary slime rises through the characters to a brimming 'army of vengeance', threatening the stability of the capitalist regime. Gray concludes by showing how slime forms discomforting rivers between miners and their environment. Thanks, Indigo!

another wonderful panel with papers from Daniel Abdalla, Harriet Thompson and Indigo Gray which made me think particularly about countering received narratives of progress with regard to industry, and how the material can help us get there #BSLSWS2022

Finally, Indigo Gray is talking about SLIME, mining, deformation, and slimy bodies in Emile Zola’s Germinal. Gray shows how integral slime is to the origins of coal and both the mine and miners’ bodies ‘devolve’ and dissolve into mud, phlegm, water, and slime #BSLSWS2022

We witnessed an attempted coup this week. A prime minister who has very obviously broken the law on many occasions and who holds the people of this country in contempt sought to stay in power aided and abetted by his party and the police. A thread….

My absolute favouritely-named astronomical phenomenon, the ANALEMMA, means that from today, sunset gets later 💅💅 🌅 ⏰
(The eccentricity and the obliquity mean that sunrise also carries on getting later, till end of Dec, hence shortest day isn’t till the 21st)

Every minister , parliamentarian & staffer at the #downingstreetparty must resign NOW.
No ifs no buts
The rule of law is a fundamental value , the glue that hold us together as a nation.
Once that is trashed by those in power the very essence of our democracy is at stake.

Thank you for submitting your audition for the next series of #LineofDuty but we’re looking for a character with at least one redeeming moral principle and a performance that places even just a scintilla of doubt in the audience’s mind that he might not be totally bent

Born and bred in angel, fond memories of this indoor antiques market filled with small independent shops and jewellery makers, it was extra special at Christmas. Today is the grand opening of Amazon fresh 😢

Xavi Bou’s starlings leaving a pre-roost assembly tree in winter Catalonia. Truly one of the greatest bird photos I’ve ever seen - scientifically and artistically. Read a bit about in @GrantaMag

A couple of people have asked what might happen if we needed to start next term partly online. Here's a little video I've made, reflecting on that question.
