“Why have university employers allowed it get to this point?”    Our member Kehinde Andrews is spot on 🎯    If these untenable conditions continue there won’t be a future for HE    UCEA, it’s time to negotiate and invest in the people that make universities run   #ucuRISING

UCU members and students are being attacked in universities across the UK. Bosses are pleading poverty, but the reality is their actions are inconsistent and their rhetoric is anti union. Here we expose them 🧵 👇 Please read, share, and RT #ucuRISING

I don't EVER want to see people who teach/work in EDI, "decolonising" & social justice topics to say ANYTHING again on these issues if they are actively undermining the MAB & current strike action vs punitive deductions. Get in the bin, honestly embarrassing stuff !!!🤦🏽‍♀️🙅🏽‍♀️

The Catalpas are in full bloom in Fog Lane Park. They're old friends from North America, and for two weeks each summer explode with loveliness.

Our general secretary Jo Grady has written to Keir Starmer following his interview on BBC Radio 4 Today yesterday The Labour Party should stand with university staff, who are fighting in defence of the sector #ucuRISING

I got the chance to expose UCEA’s paper thin arguments on BBC Radio 4 this morning. Their position is unsustainable. Students know it. Staff know it. Now, even the government know it.

Take a look at one of our leaflets about why we are on strike - share digitally if you can as it's incredibly important information!

28 years at the University of Manchester. 51 years since I started working. On September 20th (my 66th birthday), I finally retired. New title: Emeritus Professor of Geochemistry. I'll carry on working with colleagues, but no more management quicksand.

My artistic daughter has a cartoon avatar of me - Mr. Particle. Here is her sketch of congratulation.

Same. It is so brilliant I can't write about it. It's just too freaking perfect on every level.

Today was a good day. "I firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious." ~ Vince Lombardi

I just sent in my overseas ballot paper, proud to exercise my right and duty as a US citizen. Tracked delivery cost me £11, that's about $14. For all of you who can vote without spending a penny: GO VOTE on ELECTION DAY! (see next post)

I can understand why people might want to change traditional party politics, but Trump and his ilk are NOT the change America needs. I urge all of you to Dump Trump. He is: an insurrectionist, liar, abuser of women, cheat, corrupt, a bully, lazy, and incompetent. (see next)

Trump is also an inciter of racial hatred and a narcissist. Vote Harris/Walz and respect yourself. Not one of your children will thank you for four more years of the orange buffoon.
