🚨Rent hike? Challenge it.

Tenants across Scotland are being hit by a tidal wave of rent increases and evictions.

Here is what you need to do:

1⃣Challenge your rent increase: https://t.co/KyBZupS38b
2⃣Back our demands for rent controls. https://t.co/XJlhgaoIhR

[Owen Jones @owenjonesjourno]

The aid workers “lost their lives” did they?

How did they manage that, sounds really careless?

Leave them lying around with their keys or something? Easily done!

It’s really heartening to see editorial statements like this. We need more academics, editors, academic societies, and journals speaking out about the violence of Israel’s war on Gaza and calling for a ceasefire.

Hear me out- what if instead of assuming students are lazy and don’t want to learn we assume they are overworked and exhausted just like us?

@sciencewithtyus @BiologyCarly Me too! I'm a 1st-year undergrad with dyscalculia. It gives me a sense of imposter syndrome in my hard sciences classes.

@BiologyCarly @amylouvoodoo Depends on what you mean with "good at math". Being able to do 0,2*100 isn't necessarily a requirement, but figuring out that you need that result could be.

[Larissa Naylor @biogeomorph]

Absolutely May I couldn't agree more! This event was illustrative of present-day issues #worldwide that highlight our urgent need for twin-track mitigation (#netzero) and #adaptation at #cop26 A @uofgges PhD's work shows alarming rates of #coastal erosion in Nigeria @BBCWorld

[May Armstrong @cooperativemay]

While it is terrifying to see these climate effects here in Scotland now, it's also important that we recognise the global south has been experiencing them for far longer, with less media coverage because of a #globalnorth bias. @mitzijonelle for more on this. #fightfor1pointfive

Welcome to #cloudburst #glasgow eve of #COP26 - a major artery closed due to pluvial flooding, night shift can’t get to the hospital, cars abandoned, no police so prof by day traffic Marshall by night! #notthisfuture let’s agree #netzero now @BorisJohnson @NicolaSturgeon @UofGGES

[Larissa Naylor @biogeomorph]

Very timely for an intense #rainfall event to hit Glasgow on the eve of #cop26 poignantly illustrating why governments worldwide must agree to reach #NetZero rapidly at #cop26 and agree to fiscal & governance targets to improve societal resilience and adaptation. @UofGGES

[University of Glasgow @UofGlasgow]

Researchers from @UofGGES, including @biogeomorph and @fme_muir, contributed to this warning on climate change using data collected by the @dynamiccoasts project.

We welcome immigrants to this country because it’s the right thing to do, not because they might win the Nobel prize.

[Jen Heemstra @jenheemstra]

I’m 43 years old…
I earned my PhD over 15 years ago…
I’ve been a professor for over 10 years…

…and yet I just read something I wrote two years ago and still thought “I could do so much better now.”

We *never* have to stop growing.
