Thousands protest at the US Embassy in Ireland to end #DirectProvision, a for-profit system institutionalising people seeking asylum, forcing many to live for years in limbo and in substandard conditions. Aramark is a US corporation profiting off this system. #BlackLivesMatter

#PrecarityStory— I just finished teaching my final seminar on an MA module at a university that didn’t meet the strike ballot threshold. I started work in mid-September, 2 weeks before handing in my PhD; until a few days ago, I hadn’t been paid a single penny, despite many emails

Honk for fair pay and conditions! #UCUstrike #fourfights #ussstrike

Several journalists have asked me today whether we could have "shown our disagreement in other ways" vis a vis the #UCUstrike. The point is, we have been doing just that, relentlessly! Striking is not done on a whim. It needs to have impact to shake our employers awake + to act.

Actually no, I like abortion. I like that there is a simple medical procedure which allows me to take control of my body and life. I like how it allows me to have sex without fearing it will ruin my future. I rejoice that it’s legal. And I will not apologise for that. https://t.co/jlMPx1RBKC

In the thick of all the UUK, USS, tPR discussions -- & the constraints that each of them face/will impose, I really hope that one crucial factor has been taken into account in the risk modelling 1/
