Patagonia sues drag queen ‘Pattie Gonia’ claiming ‘irreparable harm’ “The harm Pattie Gonia has caused and will cause to the Patagonia brand is irreparable,” according to the lawsuit.

What the hell @patagonia.com? There's no way their drag name would cause confusion under the Lanham act. This is purely vindictive.

I'll keep shopping at The North Face instead and I suggest others find a different brand.

So love wobbegongs. Everything is good about the wobbegong. Its name. Its flattened Oscar the Grouch face. Its frondy bits. Its lazy life as a hungry rug. And it’s a shark. Outstanding animal 10/10

Languages: The Educational Superpower We Can’t Afford to Lose Across schools and universities, language departments are under threat. Courses are being cut, departments downsized, and opportunities to learn languages are diminishing. The justification? Langua…

From French and Spanish to Albanian and Farsi, languages have opened doors for me, grown understanding and taught me to see the world in full colour. Cutting them from schools and universities doesn’t just shrink the curriculum, it shrinks the life choices that all students should enjoy.

Post-narrative. Always scary

Thank you, Sigrid!

"Given that the UK needs more graduates with languages qualifications, the task of universities is not to accelerate the decline of language learning but to find ways to bolster their student intakes"

New piece in THE on #Nottingham and #Leicester proposals to close MLs.
