This Silly Little Guy is a Flumph, a D&D creature that’s a kind of jellyfish. A jolly jelly, if you will. For @applegnu.bsky.social

Chocodile 🍫🐊 #art
An illustration of a chocodile, or chocolate crocodile, based on Finnish coffee brownies. It is smiling sweetly with a cocktail cherry on its nose, its brown, wide body covered in a layer of chocolate with colourful sprinkles. The ridges on the back are made of dark chocolate. What a delicious, crumbly treat!

Actually heading out out tonight to a party no less. If I had a fantasy wardrobe I might choose Jean Dessès’s earl #1950s strapless cocktail dress consisting of overlapping scallops of silk. I don’t though. Sadly #V_and_A #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

A story Stoppard told several times, in several places:
"Years and years ago, there was a production of The Tempest, out of doors, at an Oxford college on a lawn, which was the stage, and the lawn went back towards the lake in the grounds of the college, and the play began in natural light. But as it developed, and as it became time for Ariel to say his farewell to the world of The Tempest, the evening had started to close in and there was some artificial lighting coming on. And as Ariel uttered his last speech, he turned and he ran across the grass, and he got to the edge of the lake and he just kept running across the top of the water — the producer having thoughtfully provided a kind of walkway an inch beneath the water. And you could see and you could hear the plish, plash as he ran away from you across the top of the lake, until the gloom enveloped him and he disappeared from your view. And as he did so, from the further shore, a firework rocket was ignited, and it went whoosh into the air, and high up there it burst into lots of sparks, and all the sparks went out, and he had gone. "When you look up the stage directions, it says, 'Exit Ariel.”

I feel like actually access to knowledge and learning is a universal good which shouldn't be available only to the rich, to the 'time rich', to the 'clever', or to the 'hard-working'. It should literally be available to everyone to engage with, for enrichment, for knowledge, for a better world.
romgothsam.bsky.social Dr Sam Hirst @romgothsam.bsky.social · 2d
I wish there was more emphasis on access to education disentangled from employability and focusing instead on enrichment because people who engage with education (or have the ability to) as enrichment interact with it differently. (And that's a whole society thing, not an in-uni thing) 7/7
