School book banning escalates in the UK as Greater Manchester secondary school censors scores of books - Index on Censorship A school librarian faced a disciplinary hearing and scores of books were removed from her school library after she stocked Laura Bates’ Men Who Hate Women

My excellent colleague @katiedd.bsky.social has just published this remarkable investigation into rampant book banning in a Greater Manchester secondary school library.

193 books including The Da Vinci Code, Twilight, White Teeth and 1984 Graphic Novel

We don’t have tenured academics in the UK.
Higher education is more like £35+ per hour.

This past Saturday marked 40 years of the Legend of Zelda, my favourite video game series of all time! Here are some AU drawings I have made over the last few years. #lozfanart #zeldaau

The 40th anniversary of Zelda is all the excuse you need to submerge yourself in classic Katsuya Terada art.

Education shouldn't solely be at behest of capitalism.
There are many examples of knowledge creation that had implicit value whose significance and impact wasn't immediately felt eg boolean logic a century before computers!, DNA CRISPR sequencing, enlightenment philosophy before US constitution etc

I just thought everyone should see this

Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (2003) had over 750 animations for the Prince alone (when accounting for transitions). That was a huge number for the time.

Workshop flier

I’m excited to be delivering a remote workshop on Performance Capture #mocap in SODA@MMU live to University of #Mauritius this morning/ afternoon through a multicam setup! I’m already getting flashbacks to doing this to multiple time zones in lockdown!

I signed up for this course on a history of popular romance and I'm so excited. Look at this reading list!!! Behold 👀

It's online and open to anyone, anywhere. Join me :)

My hot take is Uni libraries should become hybrid, distributing subject specific books to particular schools/ departments, instead of treating libraries as monolithic temples of knowledge to travel to.

My best of 2025.
However a sleepless child means I still haven’t seen Sinners, One Battle After Another or Predator Badlands.

You have to say that's magnificent
