Awful news from Wales, the St Fagan's Museum has been broken into and prehistoric goldwork has been taken. Its painful to think what objects might now be at risk. Thoughts with the museum team who must be devastated, all speed to the police and a curse on the crooks.

THREAD on the practice of "SIN-EATING" 🧵

In 19th-century Britain, it was customary during a funeral to provide biscuits for mourners to take away. They were often wrapped and sealed in black wax. Here you see an example of a funeral biscuit wrapper from 1828. 1/9
A wrapper that has yellowed with age. On it is text that reads: "Biscuits for the funeral of Mrs. Oliver. Died November 7th, 1828. Aged 52." Along with a prayer.

🐘 Have you ever wondered about the elephant(s) in the newsroom?

In a new mixed-method study, we argue that news agencies still shape the news - which our interview partners agree with but which contrasts with academia's low attention to them.

'If a conclusion is reached that it is not feasible to carry the sector toward a new REF in time for 2029 there only seems to be one route forward which is to return to a system more like 2021.' A good analysis of many of the woes of REF2029.
The disagreements on REF cannot go on forever – it may be time for a compromise

Doing so requires attention to (1) individual journalists’ bodies and lived experience in relation to their pasts (2) how they feel in the present – and how these affective responses shape their practice, (3) the institutions surrounding journalists, as they go about their work. (3/4)

The Trump administration is announcing a plan to tie accreditation of colleges and universities to whether they have enough right-wing faculty members.

This would be the end of academic freedom.

(www.whitehouse.gov/presidential...)
"Sec. 3. New Principles of Student-Oriented Accreditation. (a) To realign accreditation with high-quality, valuable education for students, the Secretary of Education shall, consistent with applicable law, take appropriate steps to ensure that: (i) accreditation requires higher education institutions to provide high-quality, high-value academic programs free from unlawful discrimination or other violations of Federal law; (ii) barriers are reduced that limit institutions from adopting practices that advance credential and degree completion and spur new models of education; (iii) accreditation requires that institutions support and appropriately prioritize intellectual diversity amongst faculty in order to advance academic freedom, intellectual inquiry, and student learning; (iv) accreditors are not using their role under Federal law to encourage or force institution to violate State laws, unless such State laws violate the Constitution or Federal law; and (v) accreditors are prohibited from engaging in practices that result in credential inflation that burdens students with additional unnecessary costs."
