In the UK academic recession, you will be at one of these stages since many unis buy the same cuts model from the same consultancies. It is always the same process:
*Talk of belt-tightening
*Incidental savings (e.g. printing, refreshments)
*Travel budgets cut
*Promotion freeze (1/4)

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

A virtual certificate with text "Celebrating 10M users on Bluesky, #1,681,967, Deceptively Specious ‪@apparentlydull.bsky.social‬, joined on Oct 23, 2023"

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #1,681,967!

Suits me! 😸

Busy times, don't want to be just a lurker, honest!

New here, am I doing it right?

This place appears to be mostly harmless.
