Only 30% of my students showed up for class today. 35% have never shown up this term (Week 4). This is the first time since 2022 (when I first taught this module here) that I’ve not had 90-100% attendance at every session.
Trying to wrap my head around what’s going on!

Every gain on campus – from workload to health & safety – has come from members taking action together. If you’re feeling isolated, you don’t have to face this alone. Join Birmingham UCU today.

Oh good, it’s gone up 0.4C since I got to the office. Guess I’m full of hot air 🤷🏼♀️😂.
GSAs say it’s calibrated hotter than it really is (when it was 25C in summer). So does this mean it’s actually colder? 🥶

Remember the other day when I was saluting my friend Greg Ketter, owner of Minneapolis’ DreamHaven Books? This is him the following day. Greg will never say this, so I will — now is a great time to buy books from DreamHaven. Support Americans who stand up vs. 🧊. dreamhavenbooks.com

Federal immigration officers shot and killed another person in Minneapolis on Saturday. Video from bystanders show he was wrestled to the ground by six federal officers before 10 shots rang out.

Over 10 shots can be heard in the video, but it’s unclear if more than one agent fired a weapon.

I earned tenure at TAMU and I am shocked at what is going on there. Stand up; speak up.
The censorship at Texas A&M is out of control. Classes have been cancelled & professors are being retaliated against for speaking out. It’s time to stand up.

Our workloads are rising & our jobs security isn’t.
We deserve better from management than just “no” to our reasonable requests and suggestions.

My trusty teaching trolley has bit the dust after 20 years. I will need to find a suitable replacement by Monday’s class for my markers, card stock, visual imagery cards, activity materials, and so forth.
Sigh. A good run for a hard-used item.

Solidarity to @northumbriauni.bsky.social staff, told they must move to a pension scheme widely considered worse or face a pay freeze (against UK-wide bargaining). United as unions, they can beat it (& deter other employers from trying similar). Post those ballots, & join if you’re not a member!

Odd for an institution that’s all about #sustainability.
