So proud ❤️
Brilliant day today seeing @SolentUni photography students graduate. They’ve come through so much adversity in their three years and achieved so much above & beyond excellence in academic achievement. Their resilience, determination & empathy are lifelong qualities ❤️📷🎉👨‍🎓👩‍🎓

The view from the train through Dawlish & Teignmouth never ceases to take my breath away. My thoughts always float up and out from the seat.

It’s been many years since I watched #F1 but that race finish reminded me of playing football as a boy, being 10-0 up & then the kid (whose ball it is) subverting all fairness by saying ‘next goal wins’

This #ModWrite is a #modread - specifically Nikola Tesla’s The Problem of Increasing Human Energy of 1900. “…the cheering lights of science and art…and marvels they disclose, and enjoyments they offer, make us measurably forgetful of the gloomy future”
Managed to get to the cinema for the first time in ages to watch #Dune I had a Pavlovian desire to eat Fry’s Turkish Delight…something about the imagery?

Great #greatsouthrun in Portsmouth yesterday with chip time of 1:02:39 @Great_Run (although if you could organise an easterly wind along the seafront in future, that would be ace! 😉)

For #ModWrite I’m trying to lay out some thoughts/foundations in, amongst & between the existing landscape around #marcelduchamp’s Large Glass

You don’t get to stoke the fire at the beginning of the tournament by labelling our anti-racism message as ‘Gesture Politics’ & then pretend to be disgusted when the very thing we’re campaigning against, happens.
I am disgusted that @England players who have given so much for our country this summer have been subject to vile racist abuse on social media. It has no place in our country and I back the police to hold those responsible accountable.

Believe that culture & the creative sector is vital to Britain (in so so many ways)? Believe that it’s worth supporting its world-leading creative & HE sectors? I’ve respond to the Government’s plan to cut creative subject funding in HE by 50%: officeforstudents.org.uk/pub…
A RENEWED SENSE OF URGENCY: #ArtIsEssential The Office for Students (OfS), is an independent regulator for Higher Education in England and they have opened a consultation on funding for 2021-22.
