super excited to see a photo of the actual book that is the Polish translation of @vicclarke.bsky.social and my @sagepub.com book Thematic Analysis: A Practical Guide! Sadly I have zero words of Polish! @amymaher.bsky.social 🥰 #ThematicAnalysis #Qualitative

I'm starting to think that maybe robber barons aren't buying newspapers and social media sites to promote the free flow of information.

Something you could do right now if you're disgusted by hateful targeted violence of Destiny this past weekend... sign the parliamentary petition calling for revocation of their charitable status. 11 more days to sign petitions.parliament.nz/a22e0d59-7da...

No. Absolutely not. You do not refer to targeted mob violence by an organised hate group as "antics". @thepress.co.nz do better, our community needs you to do better

End of tomorrow I'm on annual leave for 10 days! It's been so intense up until now I'm only just starting to peek into the 'excitement' camp - and moving from the prep needed being another chore to fit in. A break just BEFORE teaching starts is either insane or genius 🤷‍♀️ - TBD

Here's RNZ doing it too. "New Zealand First introduced a Member's Bill the day after the WDC meeting aimed at returning flouridation decision-making power to local communities." Our publicly funded journalism ESPECIALLY should have no excuses for misrepresenting such a basic concept.

Ooh this makes me so cross. But in replies @ginnybraun.bsky.social offers some good refs for challenging this ill-informed nonsense

Amidst all the attacks on gender and sexuality that are ramping up - and as we’ve seen on pride events here (and noting the immediate ‘but what about’ anti trans ‘responses’ on First Up on RNZ this am), the sky tower glows. And must feel like a big FU. Happy Pride 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️

Rather than helping, 'resilience' is often weaponised to push us to endure hardship. In workshops I ask people to share their alternatives. Maybe these will help you too, or perhaps you can add more: Persistence Fortitude Resistance Rebellion Defiance Stubbornness Obstinacy Tenacity Bravery Humour

🚨“Hunger persists because we allow injustice to endure. Food isn’t scarce but many people can’t access it.” 🥣The answer to world #hunger isn’t factory farming or tech fixes: it’s confronting #power & #inequality. IPES-Food’s statement on food access👇 ipes-food.org/only-politic...

'According to annual accounts up to July last year, the university’s income was £1.38 billion and it spent £1.23 billion, leaving a pre-tax surplus of £151.5 million. At that point it also had reserves of £2.6 billion.' 1/3

Interesting to read and somewhat heartening in the context of the govt who seems to reject expertise and expert opinion (though I also wonder aren't these also the people who in theory voted for this govt? 🤔 - although maybe not the minor but big influence parties)

If you're looking for #PsychologicalSafety in academia, this is how it's done- 👏👏👏 to Bond University medical program for recognising effort as much as achievement with awards like the 'Sorry, Try Again Award'. 11 rejections, woohoo! 🤣❤️

Apropos of other conversations, went and looked at statistics on road deaths today and in 1990 over a hundred pedestrians a year were being killed in AoNZ, when the population was about 60% of what it is now. But we're asked to pretend the past was better and safety measures are bad!

That mixed feeling when something you had no idea how you were going to fit, but were looking forward to, is taken off your to do list (because it now isn't happening)... Sadness, but also relief!

As a cyclist, cyclist road deaths just hit in such a different way than car road deaths hit - even though a driver too. The 💔 feels viscerally real because of the vulnerability we have on roads not designed with our safety centred.

Live footage of the average NIH-funding academic as we cycle between maybe no longer having a job and court rulings allow NIH to resume evaluating and funding grants. I do not recommend this life style, it sucks Most of us just want to do important science unpeturbed.

I have signed this, as a Fellow of The Royal Society of NZ/Te Apārangi, it's important to use whatever sway that might hold* to speak up and out against injustice, and for the foundational values of scholarship being upheld by learned societies. *little to none, unfortunately.

Great reminder to all UoA staff (who are TEU/union members) that our university is offering a pitiful pay increase (last year’s bargaining) that is not even keeping up with inflation. Just another example of the devaluing of knowledge (production)
