Travel gods not being too kind to me so far on my way to #SocMedHE25. Was meant to arrive into Manchester airport but long delays. Fingers crossed I'll see you all in the morning 👍
Starting the long trip up to @lancasteruni.bsky.social for #SocMedHE25 to give tomorrow’s keynote on the death of academic X and what lessons might be learned from it - hoping the weather and travel gods will be kind.
