Alexis Bushnelloooh I am studying synaesthesia for uni this week and it is super fun and I love brains so much!
I have just under 2 weeks of steroids - I'm gonna see if I can get caught up on uni totally in those 2 weeks rather than the month and a bit I've been given, being as my body and brain both work at the moment. Which is a science created miracle!
AndyBeen catching up after realising I'd somehow managed to skip 2/3 of a section of my current study subject. Cuz: pillock. But at least now I know how to weigh a cloud.
BOOM! Assignment done (not submitted yet, I'm gonna re-read it again later) complete with rant about Queerphobia in psychological research.

Open University U-Turns on ‘Ancient Palestine’ Ban
In December, the Open University told UK Lawyers for Israel it would stop using the term ‘ancient Palestine’ in teaching materials. Following a public outcry, the university now says the term isn't actually banned at all. Harriet Williamson reports.
Right, today is hopefully a power through 1-2 weeks of uni day as I play catch up.
Dr Julia Molinari PhD SFHEASharing because I am humbled, honoured, proud, and galvanised - via 100% derived status - to work alongside the incredible Professor Kristina Hultgren at the #OpenUniversity on upholding #AcademicFreedom in #HigherEducation, which is being increasingly threatened.
Managed 400 messy words laying down via speech to text but can't sit up long enough to edit them into something coherent and closer to the 600 limit
That's my first assignment submitted. Slight butterflies in stomach, soon to be replaced by a lorne sausage sandwich.
And now this:
"despite affirming the term’s historical accuracy, the OU agreed to “not use the term ‘ancient Palestine’ in any future course materials”, and to “explain and contextualise its use in existing materials for current learners”."
