This would fail as an essay if I were marking it. They foolishly & completely uncritically mix up "ethical" for "profitable", never once actually considering what ethical means. The love of money really is a root of evil. Https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/defence-pension-war-reeves-b2711054.html

"The Moral Lessons of Chemsex: A Critical Approach" Just out, by @nagingtonuom.bsky.social #Free2DownloadAndRead www.taylorfrancis.com/books/oa-mon... Can't wait to read this book, I've been following Maurice's researching and writing process for this book from afar.

lol, from UK satirical magazine Private Eye

Mass deportations will directly impact people named Gonzalez, Lopez, & Sanchez. But deporting crucial workers across multiple sectors will end up costing consumers with last names Brown, Johnson, & Smith. @jasonlmorin.bsky.social, Loren Collingwood, & I explain: theconversation.com/deporting-mi...

Please circulate this! We're looking for an Assistant Professor in Criminology. Closing date of the 4th April 2025. Details here: jobs.nottingham.ac.uk/Vacancy.aspx...

I do love chatting to Uber drivers, they always have the most interesting lives. The one that just took me back from the vets does Uber because he has a livestock farm (mostly pigs) back in Tanzania... He's lived in Manchester for 10 years. Sad I couldn't chat more with him!

Fuck it, just wrote to the director of public health for Tameside (my local authority) who already commission testing and treatment services for STIs with SH24, who already run online/mail order prep in other parts of England... Don't ask don't get as my mother always taught me.

I've just started doing online mail order meds for my long term herpes suppression. Absolute piece of piss. Why the fuck we can't do this for prep is beyond me. It can't be that fucking complicated, and even if it is, we've had well over a decade to work it out.

Basically the exact same linguistic tropes as Trump then... I say cut them loose and see how they like not having access to French and British military bases to project their power. We should also rip out one of our five eyes.

Le langage, c'est là que tout le contrôle de la pensée commence. Relisez 1984 de George Orwell. «War is Peace, Freedom is Slavery, Ignorance is Strength, and 2 + 2 = 5».

Cellos cost so much to maintain... New set of strings £200, general service £50, bow rehair £100 🥺

I recently read a book with a "disaknowledgements" section, one of the best and bravest things I've ever read. We need to publicly call out people who bully and abuse people in academia.

Some "Russian Warship" vibes here from a tiny fed'l agency. via Brett Murphy: The African Development Foundation (budget ~$40 million) is putting up a fight and denying DOGE + Pete Marocco — the State Dept official dismantling USAID — access to their building:

UK academics - 2 questions (1) do you have annual funding targets? (application or award) (2) what happens if you fail to meet this targets? (DMs are open - would love to hear how this kind of stuff is 'incentivised' at your institution)

📣 WE ARE RECRUITING A 3-YEAR POST-DOC RESEARCHER 📣 to work on the new @leverhulme.bsky.social project 'Weaponised Pasts: The Evolution of Heritage-based hostility on social media', with myself and @acerbialberto.com, based at @uoe-sps.bsky.social. Apply by 24/03/25: www.jobs.ac.uk/job/DLZ921/p...

This dispute needs to be resolved - we cannot function as a union when the internal culture is so broken. It is in everybody’s interest to find a way through that restores trust & achieving this in a constructive way requires properly listening to staff voices uniteucu.wordpress.com/unite-voices/

What she said 👍

It was always shit, even when broadband speeds went from 1mbps to 100mbps it was still shit. All things die. Skype was barely ever alive.

A really excellent deep dive into the longer social, political and cultural roots of the Ukrainian-Russian War www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

I'm actually raging at what's happening in Cardiff, and the callous treatment of friends and colleagues by a nakedly incompetent leadership class. Read this and weep: voice.cymru/two-weeks-in...

To be fair, some of this is super lovely stuff like connecting up really talented scholars...

Grant submitted for approval - HELLOOOOOO to do list of everything I've been putting off this week 😩
