This Darren Jones interview encapsulates what’s so strategically wrong about current @teamlabouruk.bsky.social. Politics to the right of Theresa May to appease the right, but delivering it in the worst kind of management speak to guarantee it does all the damage with none of the political appeal.

Do you use Letterboxd? It’s a website/app for just such tracking (though tv shows not yet fully on there; only if it’s a one-off season so far).

Great to see articles from two good friends and Notre Dame classmates dropping on the same day in the Journal of @sofcethics.bsky.social - Marie-Claire Klassen and Liam de los Reyes. Both look great and timely.

I highly recommend you take the actions in this thread.

I have written a version of one of the "write to your MP" templates with some additions about inaccurate scapegoating media narratives, the dangerous goals of the controversial outgoing EHRC chair, bizarre legal implications, & this paragraph:

Almost all regional staff are on strike; today some of us met to picket, joined by local staff from @unitetheunion.bsky.social staff & NEU.
Our members need us; we want to work; we need senior management to prioritise their members & staff & meet reasonable asks. www.ucu.org.uk/media/14969/...

Northern (England) Region @ucu.org.uk staff remain on strike with @uniteucu.bsky.social in solidarity with those suffering unsafe working conditions, structural racism, & disciplinary action targeting committee members. The employer has made no written offer.

That's it; that's the thread. it ended abruptly for wordcount reasons. But then again, an eighth skeet is free innit. As a post-script, i will once again share this song lyric, once again on my mind this week.

Almost everyone from @ucu.org.uk Northern region office is on strike today with @uniteucu.bsky.social. We picketed this morning, joined in solidarity by several previous UCU staff & comrades from the NASUWT staff Unite branch & Mary Foy’s office. See uniteucu.wordpress.com for updates on the dispute

It’s a good thing Trump isn’t autistic because what the hell does this letter from the “king” mean without the contextualising intro from the reporter?

Billy Bragg (1983) demolishing the idea that a neurodivergent person is inherently “low support needs” or “high support needs” as an essential and permanent part of their being, rather than it being dynamic, spiky, and contextually shaped by (among other things) economic systems

This paragraph is hilariously accurate about one thing that has improved for autistic people since 1992!

Congratulations to all those playing neurotypical autism coverage bingo!
