I can't say that I have seen this in UK academia, but I do have experienced this in UK everyday life and in business. This is the first time I've seen it spelled out like this, and it rings true. https://social.coop/@adamgreenfield/112163497049305581
@cstross first comment in the article possibly explains what is going on; apparently snapchat says “We also work to proactively escalate to law enforcement any content appearing to involve imminent threats to life, such as school shooting threats, bomb threats…”
#WritersCoffeeClub 11 Jan: Do you use dream sequences in your work? How do you feel about them?
I do, but I try not to overdo it; I'm totally not a Freudian or Jungian, so their usual role is when some Big Boss wants to drop a very confidential briefing on a protagonist (with a hint to the reader that the Big Boss has some deeply scary abilities, b/c able to tamper with the protagonist's mind directly).
A good book cover makes a reader who has never heard of the author or the book click on it in a web storefront or pick it up in a physical bookshop, because customers are more likely to buy produce they've inspected or physically handled. The end.
