My (perverse) pleasure! There has to be some (gallows) humour in being made redundant by a self-declared feminist who’s fallen off her own ‘glass cliff’…

In her own words, posted 2 days ago on LinkedIn. Apparently, self-awareness is no longer a key leadership skill, nevermind anything else (the article it links to is pure PR bumf, you could have some good fun with). Enjoy.

I guess the same. My biggest disappointment was when such dynamics were reproduced by (senior) women, I worked in departments that were more women than men typically. At that point it stopped being about gender—whatever the origin—and 100% about hierarchy. Hideous workplaces (for the most part).

Smarmy politeness is such a good description of it!

On the plus side, it made me dedicate my entire career in the academy to creating safe spaces and to model and practice feedback that is inclusive and reflexive, to work w/ a hermeneutics of faith, and practise with as much generosity as possible.

Yes, absolutely. My email address is melissa dot nolas at proton dot me and website melissanolas.com thank you!

I can point / link all this to your website. Let me know! Thank you x

These are beautiful! I am writing a book on women’s experiences of fibroids and looking at representations of fibroids in art (amongst other places). May I add these to the collection? By collection I mean examples and use in ppt presentations and also I will be making a section on my website?

I’m sorry to hear this. I hope you’ve had treatment since posting. It’s such a miserable experience. I’m writing a book about it as there is so little info and stories out there. The medical characterisation as benign needs to change give the trouble fibroids can give!

Really excited—& a bit nervous—but mostly looking forward to meeting up w Verónica Policarpo & Jussara Rowland in person—finally—& thank them both for their really kind invite and interest in my work! Jussara & I will also be co-facilitating a workshop on the Friday which will be fun!

This is such an astute observation. I hadn’t put the two together. Certainly this resonates with my own experience.

100% shocking news and responses…

All of this! 100% I love the dictionary and thesaurus as a repository of sedimented meanings! We use language in such an unconscious way—which can sometimes be violent—and I love getting lost in etymologies.
