This is a really good blog post. I can’t comment about specific cases, but this sort of thing happens regularly.

Are TERFs really alright? Seems their obsessed panic over trans women is leading them down the rabbit hole to handmaiden hood in a resurgent,ethno-Christian patriarchy. Chauvinism is more acceptable than trans inclusion-who’d a thunk it?(Actually it was obvious this was a path they could/would take)

Any other neurodivergents out there struggle with the idea of doing things you enjoy but are mediocre at? For me enjoying things is being good at them. Just the way I’m built I guess.

Redundancies are mundane in HE and have been since forever. I’ve been through it four times. What we are seeing is a crisis, but redundancies aren’t new.

Nelson correctly says that of course Sunak is English, but absolutely misses his part in shaping the rhetoric we have now which makes the "unthinkable" questions mainstream.

So incredibly heartened by my colleagues who are fighting like hell for a world where people have access to the arts and humanities, not because it serves STEM, but because this is about nourishing our humanity

Ten or twenty years ago, we might have been justified in wondering if UCULeft were actually police infiltrators attempting to undermine trade unionism—but let’s face it, even the Met don’t have that much money to burn.

This is Kegan. She has a broken leg and dislocated hip from being hit by a car. Even though she's in pain and can hardly move, her tail never stops wagging. You can help us cover her much needed surgery and support her recovery below ❤️‍🩹 15outof10.org/kegan

Catalogue descriptions for the 5000+ records in Star Chamber proceedings, Henry VIII [TNA STAC 2] have now all been tidied up, improving searchability and fixing the sort order (among other things). Enjoy! discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/browse/r/r/C...

This is hideous. There's no clarity or transparency, or indeed any attempt to create them. There's no sense of what a university is *for* - or of any care for workers or students. It has my stomach in knots just reading it.

I was at a punk show in 83 where a skinhead jumped up on stage and gave a Nazi salute. The bass player hit him with his bass, knocking him into the crowd and 150 people collectively hauled his ass out of the venue and threw him in the mud. This was the right and only appropriate response.
