The pensions dispute wasn't the only reason I ended up not pursuing an academic career, but god it was bleak to look at the job conditions for ECRs and then look further down the line and realise that even if you Made It, you were still going to get screwed over.

We struck for this on and off for my entire PhD, so I'm still a little in schock at the fact that it finally paid off! Incredible news and hoping for similar results on the anti-casualisation front!

On the one hand, it is nice that posts on my company's chat channels about the gov's promise to get 'wokeism' out of science have all been variations on 'professionally speaking, fuck this'

On the other hand, this wretched fucking country, man

Guess I should say that I have no intention of moving to bluesky, so if you do want to stay in touch when this thing goes under and we don't already know each other on FB or tumblr or via email, uh, let me know so we can figure something out

@FinnLongman Well the offer's there if you want it

[Lee Colwill, mostly hibernating @laevisiloki]

@FinnLongman If you need a gown before then, I have one you're welcome to (vintage ASNC heritage item, having belonged to at least one person before me). though I can't remember I time I needed it other than for graduation....

28% of adults living in a household with at least one child ran out of food in the past two weeks and couldn't afford any more.

That's eight children out of a class of 30 growing up where there is regularly no food at home.

It's not right, and it doesn't have to be like this.

Finally! It was always a bit galling that I could strike from my faculty work (as a rule much more fairly paid) but not from supervising, where some weeks I was making less than £2/hour

After five years of organising the #Justice4CollegeSupervisors campaign is officially calling for a boycott of the college supervision system in Michaelmas 2023. 🧵

Do I know anyone going to trans pride in London? I'm looking forward to Ely pride, but would quite like to also go to a slightly bigger event....

@queermedieval I loved the game as a whole, but also my favourite part was playing Spot That Marginalia on the loading screens 💜

I have taken a normal amount of pictures of the sunrise, I'm sure we can agree
