"The Immortals" is one of the worst dumpster fires ever made and I cannot thank @DUClassSoc for putting it on tonight! Had the absolute best time 😁 and after the third time still don't know what the plot is... imdb.com/title/tt1253864/

DU Classics Society is out at 8am every day to show solidarity for our lecturers. Where are you? It's time to make our voices be heard against falling pay, gender+ethnic pay gap, precarious employment practices, + unsafe workloads in academia. It affects us all. #UCUstrikes

As we come to the end of #LGBTHM19, it’s a good time to reflect on the brilliant events put on by @Durham_Classics and @DUClassSoc, and the warm, inclusive and scholarly attitudes they promoted; especially given current discussions in the field of Classics... – at North East, England
