To my native village, there tomorrow morning to embark on a 35 mile walk to Winchester in aid of @DKMS_uk.

If you felt like sponsoring my niece Daisy, who will be accompanying @James1940, I would be inordinately grateful.

I love the idea that a British university, by dropping Britain's most signficant female novelist in favour of an American one, is somehow decolonising itself. telegraph.co.uk/news/2022/04/0…
Why don't British humanities departments just admit the truth: that they're absolutely desperate to become outposts of American university culture?
Since I have no wish "to stoke a moral panic about "wokeness in universities"", I am more than happy to add Stephen's tweet to this thread, so that people who are interested can read our discussion, & get, perhaps, a clearer sense of the point I was making

I curl up with ⁦@Dave_Hone⁩’s very handsome-looking new book - which, he says in the introduction, “is ultimately about what we DON’T know about dinosaurs.”
“We have probably learned more about dinosaurs in the last 20 years than in the previous 200” - @Dave_Hone
“Such is the reliance of palaeontology on original descriptions & details of specimens that it is one of the few fields in the sciences that makes regular & copious use of research published not just decades, but even centuries ago.”

I love that!

"I know a fascist when I see one."
Foot, so I learned from @dcsandbrook's 'Who Dares Wins,' grew up in a house containing “240 Bibles, 130 volumes by or about Montaigne & 300 by or about Milton, 3,000 tracts from the English Civil War & an entire room on the French Revolution.”
