#PadletStrikeStories - burnout, cycles of sickness, mental ill-health due to excessive wkloads. Yes @KingsCollegeLon is not a healthy environ to work in. Our managers know but do nothing, instead we all coopted into pretending otherwise. Enough is enough #ucuRISING

Another #padletstrikestory collected anonymously by colleagues @UcuWaterloo Made me think of C.W.Mills "Sincerity is detrimental to one’s job, until the rules of salesmanship and business become a “genuine” aspect of oneself" (White Collar, 1951) @KCL_UCU @liberatekcl

My mum was a nurse & my grandma. I’ve spent years doing research with care profs, witnessing the most sublime, magical nursing. From the most obvs to the care that can’t be measured. That nurses are striking tells us how intolerable things are. Full solidarity #NursesPayRiseNow

[Yasmin Gunaratnam @YasminGun]

I don’t know about you, but when I or my loved ones are at our most vulnerable, I’d like those looking after us to have the time, well-being & respect to do their job fully. Give nurses the pay & working conditions they deserve #NursesPayRiseNow

[Yasmin Gunaratnam @YasminGun]

I've added my name to a letter telling the Prime Minister Without nursing staff, there is no NHS, there is no care. https://t.co/kMjt3WNNDB

"What if school, as we used it on a daily basis, signalled not the name of a process or institution through which we could be indoctrinated, not a structure through which social capital was grasped & policed, but something more organic, like a scale of care" @alexispauline

In memory of those who chose the sea.. —The "Igbo Landing" story —

In an act of mass resistance against slavery, a group of slaves revolted, took control of the slave ship grounded it on an island & rather than submit to slavery, proceeded to march into water & drown.

[Les Back @AcademicDiary]

Have been thinking a lot about the Windrush monument at Waterloo in London. There’s something I love about the way the citizens are holding each other but at the same time looking at different points on the horizon.

PSA! @ShonaHunter will be giving an important lecture about the suicide of white academy. (btw: I dreamed once about a plane that was crashing, i realized it was the symbol of current academia. There are other means of travelling u know :) ) Anyway, go listen to my friend!

[Ian Cushing @ian_cushing]

Haira’s awesome research is highly pertinent for any teachers interested in social (in)justice - and how they can push back against racial, class and gender inequalities that dominant educational spaces. https://t.co/qtvDQtDpW9

‘Abolition would be what we do together…in deconstructing the university & creating new ways, of thinking, listening, making and studying. Abolition is the alternative, anti-capitalist, anti-racist university. We are the university, so why not?’
