UCEA have once again shown a complete lack on integrity. Last week they went away to discuss improving their pay offer. Today they have shut that down and openly attacked staff.

Are you experiencing poor service in cafes, restaurants, pubs, bars & hotels? Bins not being collected on time? Empty shelves in supermarkets?
All because of severe labour shortages caused by Brexit which is contributing to the current recession.
It was a delight presenting #lilac22 this morning. It is always interesting to see what other people think of collaging! Thanks to everyone who came & the positive feedback.
In Manchester for #lilac22. Looking forward to all fantastic sessions and especially my own contribution about collaging on Tuesday. Spent an hour today finding glue sticks for my session, as some of the glue sticks had dried up during c-19. Come along and I will tell you why!

Here's a minor film trope that needs to die: people around the world watch A Thing on TV. In India, it's a rickety set outdoors as barefoot kids run around. In China, it's a tiny shared TV in a cafe. Everywhere but the US, vast crowds surround one shitty set.

Sweden is the third country to donate #Covid19 vaccines to #COVAX, joining France (500,000 doses) and New Zealand (1.6 million) 👏,
Rich countries like the UK, Canada and the EU have bought the majority of vaccines.
If they want to save lives, they must donate doses now.
My boss requires me to send weekly photo evidence of my negative test result to teach. I feel sorry as he has 100's of photos to see so I always like to spruce mine up for him!
