    Excellent thread- but I still don’t understand why we’re not going on all-out strike. I’m willing to bet we would settle the dispute(s) much quicker if we did and, perhaps, lose a lot less pay.

    I'm sure attendees will have lots to say about the action Peter has taken to tackle bullying in schools, including: - Refusing to meet with LGBT communities - Shelving a report on LGBT experiences in education - Refusing to pass strong, intersectional anti-bullying legislation

    we don't talk about 'timing' much in the context of academic precarity. if your contract ends in sept, and there's a fellowship you're feeling good about... but it only starts in dec, what exactly are you going to do with yourself between sept-dec? and if you're on tier 2?

  6. Which is all likely why I'm off sick today with tonsillitis flareup - indicating overwork. And on strike days btw I'm back working in my women's sector job so that I might be able to have actual annual leave saved up at some point. 😓

  7. I have been so lucky at UU to have supportive colleagues and a brilliant mentor. I can't tell you the personal toll rejections have, precarity has.. getting publications out there while navigating all this and another FT job. I use my annual leave from women's sector to teach.

  8. With another on the horizon I just feel so sad that the module I painstakingly devised, the passion I genuinely bring to teaching research outreach will all suffer. All because those on humongous salaries disconnected from Uni life refuse to make changes.

    This week in includes 3 from Poland, one from Gibraltar, 3 from Ireland (2 with pregnancies diagnosed with serious abnormalities), 2 from Malta and a young mum from N Ireland who can't travel to England (even for free) as no childcare. And this is a slow week.

    The debt many of us owe to Brathwaite is incalculable. Thank you for poetry, theory, history, thinking that is "like a howl, or a shout or a machine-gun or the wind or a wave." Thank you for work in which each can be metaphor for the others.

    Quite. And much needed. Remind you of Helen and Robb in the taut, terrifying, longer-running Archers story. The writing in Corrie is of variable quality. Sometimes brilliant, sometimes decidely not. The camerawork is frequently of the highest order. It's a good programme.

    Here’s why we need Black studies & the price students are paying for the lack of will from our education system. Please rt! Let’s make sure our Irish universities are doing the right thing! Real inclusion acts. Show us we’re part of Ireland. We want change that acts.

    We who are born of the ocean can never seek solace in rivers: their flowing runs on like our longing... We resent them this wisdom, this freedom: passing us toiling, waiting and watching their cunning declension down to the sea. "South" -

    Absolutely devastated to hear that Kamau Braithwaite has passed away. If you've never read his poetry, go seek it out. Finding it was like a lightening bolt to me and it will be to you as well.

    RIP Kamau Brathwaite. 'Brathwaite argued that the iambic pentameter embodied the British language and environment; it was not a meter that could carry the experience of hurricanes, slavery and a submerged African culture.'

    Safe, compassionate care for our women. A properly funded service. Investment into women’s healthcare. Proper sex education in schools and access to LARC. Professional bodies call for legal framework to focus on safe abortion care in Northern Ireland
