I had the exact same experience yesterday. AI produces a crisis of trust where good writing instantly looks suspicious. I also don’t want to become that kind of lecturer…

Just a few more hours ⏳⚡️ tomorrow - thx to the Faculty 6 @tu-braunschweig.de - the workshop on “Speculative Cultures” that I co-organize with @lisacristea.bsky.social begins 🙌🏻 it’s the first in a longer future series for a new project on “Speculative Ontologies” 🚀🐉 #futurestudies

November Monday evenings are for screenings.

Lots of familiar BritCult faces at the fantastic "The Company We Keep" workshop in Frankfurt (sponsored by Britcult!). The association's president, 2 members of the advisory committee, one of the organisers of #BritCult2025, and the unimpressed guy in the middle are looking forward to #BritCult2025!

Spoiler: Yes, he will.

Last day of #RGS2025 about to start. Two sessions of the “Emotional Geographies of Loss and Vulnerabilities” are taking place this morning and I’ve been told in the second session there will be a talk on urban fantasy 👀

A good way of avoiding landfill waste: use edible coffee cups. (They taste a little like ice cream cones, in case you’re wondering.)

First day of panels at the @rgsibg.bsky.social #RGS2025 for me. It’s quite fun to go to a geographers’ conference and start every conversation with “You know, I’m actually not a geographer”.
