Was just disinvited by @bbc5live.bsky.social to a discussion of Brexit 5 years on- on the entirely reasonable/correct grounds that I know what I am talking about and would give an expert, objective view. What they actually wanted was a "hard Remainer" (to balance a know-nothing Brexiteer). FFS.

'Simply obscene'. UCU comment on Stirling Principal's 40% £119k pay rise over 2 years making him highest paid VC in Scotland on £414,000 plus benefits. Salaries like this when we're facing funding challenges and redundancies across HE are unconscionable www.scotsman.com/education/th...

Outside the Scottish Parliament today for @ucuscotland.bsky.social rally on the crisis in Scottish HE. Good to speak with colleagues from Univeristy of Dundee. With the huge challenges the uni faces, it is vital that trade union voices are heard.

This book both delights and informs. Hugely detailed empirical evidence of the lives of all sorts of women in England over 900 years. I don't buy her take on all of the material she discusses and she contradicts herself over the binary nature of sex but it didn't stop me loving this book. 📚💙

Public Service Announcement! Just discovered that if you join the library (Glasgow City Council in this case) you can download an app called PressReader and read the Herald, the National, the Guardian whatever free. Why did nobody tell me this before? No more paywalls for me!
