Children's books can be just as insightful as books for adults. They remind us to celebrate the little joys and encourage us to appreciate and look after what surrounds us.

Open your mind and read children's books.

Well said, @whatSFSaid!🫶📚

"It would have meant so much to me."

Our Writer in Residence @whatSFSaid didn't see himself reflected in the books he read as a child - but thankfully, things are changing. He explains the power that comes from a child finding themselves in a story.

What better way to celebrate #Pride2023 than a little thread of gay love letters from the 1920s and 1930s.

Enjoy! 🌈

Well done to the vice chancellors who are calling for UCEA to return to negotiations to end the marking boycott.

Shame on the vice chancellors choosing to attack their own staff.

UCU members and students have long memories - we know where you stood when it mattered.

[UCU @ucu]

“We are seeing the national degree scandal grow worse and worse […] further disruption is avoidable and our members have made clear that they just need a fair pay settlement to call the boycott off.”

Yes! A call to action!! 🤩📚💜

It's #PrideMonth, and it's so important for children to have access to stories about LGBTQ+ figures across the curriculum!

Author Ian Eagleton explains why and recommends some books to try here: https://t.co/oWj0AcbyGr

University management around the UK are trying to break our action with punitive deductions for staff taking part in legal industrial action.

Help us keep up the fight at Swansea and please donate to our fighting fund: https://t.co/q8vW2dRocU #ucuRISING

[Beth Winter @BethWinterCynon]

Solidarity with @ucu members opening their payslips to find 100% pay deductions.

MPs want @UCEA1 to talk to the union rather than rely on university management to exploit a cost-of-living crisis.

It's time UCEA rejoined discussions.
