In October, I wrote about how Trump’s potential presidency could impact reproductive rights in Scotland. Never did I think it would be as explicit as the US veep spouting fear mongering, nonsensical lies about Scotland’s buffer zones. www.heraldscotland.com/politics/vie...

Write every day for 1 hour. If you miss a writing day add 1 hour to the next. It’s incredible! Tomorrow I’m writing for 7 years.

The one thing that has made my university experience a good one is the staff on the philosophy team. The lecturers and staff at the university ARE WHAT MAKE THE UNIVERSITY. Their plans to cut over 50% of staff are morally horrendous and will lead to the downfall of the university as a whole

It’s fabulous to examine PhD work and see the creativity and bravery of these scholars. Reading one currently that starts with a story of discomfort. Very refreshing — these are the small joys that make academic life a privilege. 🩵

Me, a public health person, just sitting over here reflecting on the fact that the US has experienced a 7% increase in infant mortality post-Dobbs. Like, do you realize what that says about this society from an ethical perspective? That we made policy choices that caused this? #PHEthx

Thank you @sharonlsmith.bsky.social for your book review. You've really captured how the methods featured were often craftily and imaginatively developed 'to carve out spaces and forge productive relationships' of resistance, respect, collaboration + care thesociologicalreview.org/reviews/how-...

I wish universities would 'start to ask questions' about how many academic 'leadership' roles they can afford! The proliferation of vice/deputy/pro/associate 'leadership roles' over the last 10-20 years has been quite extraordinary.

Dobbs has only worsened the impacts: As I reported for @nbcnews.com last year, abortion bans have also contributed to the closures of maternity wards, in part by driving OB-GYNs from red states, like Idaho: www.nbcnews.com/health/women...

👀 lots of folks QT'ing to say: women — submit your manuscripts! I think what has to come first is: universities, fix your gendered service and teaching inequities, and society, balance out your care work, so women have time to write the damn manuscripts. So many women colleagues are BURNT OUT.

Maybe one of the reasons there are so many unhinged academics is that in order to keep your job, you’re constantly required to tout yourself as a Scholar of World-Historical Significance, even as your office’s ceiling tiles slowly dislodge themselves to fall on your head.
