I caved & came back. Couple thousand followers gone, building from scratch—sigh.

[Jamie Callahan @ProfJamieC]

Does anyone know what building at @durham_uni is “DHE”? I’ve spent 45 minutes searching on the Uni website with zero success. Bonus points if you have a link to a map or website that actually has building codes.

I’m not on here much anymore but THIS was worth sharing!

NEARLY FIVE HUNDRED STAFF at risk of redundancy at Durham University.

Fight back!

Happy to have someone w/ access to better data check my numbers. I hope I’m wrong.

I only have salary data from 2022. If we take the median salary for all staff, add £5k for 2 yrs of pay rises plus 30% fringe, and divide that into £20m, Durham University is looking at laying off roughly 490 staff across this fiscal year & next.

Solidarity to Newcastle Uni colleagues and friends - this is very worrying and will surely not be the last.

@ucuatdurham members - you have just had an email about a consultative ballot (a vote on holding a ballot) at Durham.

Please vote in it!

I love when I have American students in my class when I do an exercise that lets them realize how much time we are workloaded to grade their work. After they pick their jaws back up, they comment, “Well THAT explains a lot!” 10min/1k words ain’t a lotta time!

"You can pretend that falafel and hummus and zaatar are your ancient cuisines. But in the recesses of your being, you will always feel the sting of this epic forgery."

Palestinian writer and activist Susan Abulhawa delivered this passionate speech at the Oxford Union.

Listen to this powerful message by Professor Amos Goldberg, whom I commend for his clarity, courage and inspiration.

This seems like a good time to emphasize the relationship between the clemency power and Biden's legacy. As Mark Osler and I noted in September in a NY Times op-ed, Biden's pardon/commutation record is grim right now -- a historically low grant rate. /1

Hi @AbdullaAndalusi, we urge you to pull out of speaking at tomorrows Durham union society ‘debate’. There should be no debate on genocide. They are using your attendance to legitimise their event, sharing a platform which is not even remotely balanced.

What the fluff, America?! What the actual fluff?!?!

MAGA #MakeAmericaGileadAlready Republicans are running for office.

Vote like your life, or your partner’s life, depends on it. Because if either of you are able to get pregnant, it does.

🚨 BREAKING:

Wow. This heart-rending ad, when tested, moves swing-state men 2.5 points away from Trump.

Massive.

Please share everywhere.

Women are dying NOW in states with extreme bans. If Republicans win, a national abortion ban is next. Don't look away. #MAGAAbortionBan

@dr_seminnis Been trying. I faxed my expat absentee FL ballot a week ago & sent a follow-up query last night. It’s usually acknowledged in 24hrs. Not this time! A fellow Floridian expat had the same problem. Officially worried…

[Jamie Callahan @ProfJamieC]

I sent my Florida ballot a week ago via @FVAP. No receipt acknowledgement yet & my county has not received it. I’ve *always* gotten receipt acknowledgement w/in 24hrs in the past. Getting worried!

@yuanyi_z @_Mc_eM_ My workload tariff for a FT PhD student is about 38hrs/yr. Half that for PT. I can’t fathom how I could meet weekly & also give feedback on any writing! Institutional expectation is meeting once per month. None of it sufficient for proper supervision 😡.

[Jamie Callahan @ProfJamieC]

I was going to sell my cheap lamp I had in my old office. Nope.

This new Waterside office has auto on/off lights and I keep ending up in the dark!

(Somehow I think there’s an institutional metaphor in that 🤔🤷🏼‍♀️😂)
