Whenever there is organisational misbehaviour, there is someone who excused it. It’s banter. Or they grew up in a different era. Or people are just too sensitive. Or they really didn’t mean it like that. Or that’s just how they are and you should just ignore it. 1/

When people feel that they won’t be supported if they challenge misbehaviour, when there is a belief that complaints won’t be taken seriously and nothing will be done, that’s more than a problem with individuals; that’s a problem with organisational culture.

Whale stories: “The age of bowheads…supported by archaeological evidence. This included one individual, taken in the modern Indigenous hunt in 2007, which still had an explosive Yankee Whaler harpoon tip, last manufactured in 1885, embedded in its blubber.”

I have watched so many women full professors leave - depressing to see that reflected in these stats 👇👇👇
"Women full professors are 19% more likely than men at the same career stage to leave academia, as compared with 6% for women assistant professors and 10% for associates."
Women faculty feel ‘pushed’ from academia by poor workplace climate
The gender gap in faculty attrition worsens after tenure, according to a new study

I'm not gormless. I've studied media manipulation and propaganda my entire adult life. I've run long campaigns against Murdoch media. My expectations *are* low. But seeing *literally everyone* lie and cover up the genocide and colonisation of Palestine is unforgivable. I'll never see things the same

👀 lots of folks QT'ing to say: women — submit your manuscripts! I think what has to come first is: universities, fix your gendered service and teaching inequities, and society, balance out your care work, so women *have time* to write the damn manuscripts. So many women colleagues are BURNT OUT.
There are still a few weeks left in the year (though December is generally a quiet month for book proposals), but it looks like I’m going to close out 2024 with around 80% of total book proposals coming from men, 18% from women, and 2% from persons whose gender was not apparent/obvious.
