There are so many lines from #Barbie I’m still thinking about but one of the best and most brutally specific has to be when they said Depression Barbie was watching the BBC Pride and Prejudice on repeat because why did they have to cut THAT deep

It’s me, I am grumpy admin.

[Joel McGlothlin @joelmcglothlin]

Students don't realize how much time it takes me to deal with emails asking questions that I have already addressed in class. First, I have to grumble about it for a while, then I have to answer the email, and then I have to complain about it on Twitter

[Boze Herrington, Library Owl 😴🧙‍♀️ @SketchesbyBoze]

have I accomplished my goals for this year? no. but did I eat well and exercise often? not in the least. but did I mature relationally and as a person? buddy,

I am striking because:
👉PGR stipends are unliveable
👉Tutors and academic staff deserve to retire comfortably WHEN THEY WANT
👉My 9-month fixed term contract gives NO security it’s a joke
👉 HE workers have been systematically underpaid for YEARS

[UNISON - UK's largest union @unisontheunion]

Administrators, cleaners, library, security and catering workers, the lowest paid workers in the university sector, are striking today over a 3% pay offer - well below the rate of inflation and the rising cost of living. Please support ✊

@BristolUni VC earns £13k A MONTH (after tax!) but I’m scared to turn my heating on.

I’m proud to be taking action as part of @unisontheunion in solidarity with @ucu

[Jo Grady @DrJoGrady]

Thousands of our members at dozens of our universities have never taken strike action before. They are bravely making a stand for a better education sector - for them and our students.

RT this so they know they are not alone and that you have their backs.
