@AcademicMeeple Maybe you *are* Collegiate Cat and everything else is a ruse?

I’ve been having a long nap on Twitter. But like Batman I can always be summoned when my kittens need me! 😻

@AcademicMeeple @LeotheLawSchoo1 I also have more followers than the US president. 😂

Our @ucu branch is thrilled to report our members have said YES to #IndustrialAction and to #ActionShortOfaStrike. Over 544 out of 814 of our members turned out. A majority sent a clear message to the employer: NO to mandatory teaching on campus!

Really important thread showing the lives experience of lecturers in #HigherEducation right now. We are not lazy and we want to do our jobs to the best of our ability. #AcademicTwitter #highered

Back in the summer, we still didn't know what kind of tech we were going to have for delivering online lessons and we still didn't know what the balance of online or face to face would be. Nonetheless, prep had to be done, so I designed the most flexible lessons I could.

Have you posted your ballots, @UCUNUbranch kittens? If you need a replacement, get in touch with the branch. 🐾

There was a time when VCs would visit student occupations, talk to the those protesting, try and understand their point of view, while also delivering them food. I cannot understand why I am seeing the Greater Manchester Police tactical aid unit attending this occupation instead.
