So fun fact - people on the left *are* working with young men. Like I got a whole ass partner who spends all his time doing that. People just sorta ignore that because it doesn't make for good headlines, and also people like saying we need to bring back the subjugation of women.

I’m on strike today from 10.30-2.30

Which means no sick pay either.
Rude.
Also, honestly UoA - right now you suck, bargain with good faith instead of whatever you have been doing.

I have funds now to travel to international conferences to support my research. I’ve not really had access to that before.
I saw an excellent conference advertised yesterday.
One I’d usually want to go to.
It’s in the US.
Not now. Nope.
Academic freedom there is dying. Quickly.

If the PM is taking political pointers from Marie Antoinette should we then be inspired by what the French people then went on to do?

I do love the support governments around the world are showing for Ukraine right now.
But I hate the relative silence re Palestine.
Where were they when Trump posted that horrific AI video this week?
Why can’t we have both and?

Call out to non US based social science peeps! Are you reconsidering where your work can be published given recent developments in the US? Has this caused you to rethink which journals to submit to? Super curious to hear people’s thoughts.

Apparently you’re allowed to use “reasonable force” when making the arrest and even tie people up.
Because last time we had a law like that it worked so well…
It allowed parents to physically abuse their children. It was called the defence of “reasonable force”
We repealed that.
