Those of us under £100,000 pa keep getting told we have to do more with less because the sector is in crisis. It doesn’t seem in crisis for those n six-figure salaries though? The Principal got yet another £5,000 bump, and the 140-150,000 bracket exploded. www.finance.qmul.ac.uk/media/financ...

Ordering a taxi in Donegal, IRL. Left a voice message. Got a text back: ‘ok.’ Answered with: ‘is this xxxxx taxi service confirming 7pm pickup?’
Replied: ‘yeah’
🤣 nowhere else in the world quite like Donegal.

Watch this.
Open your eyes to this brutality.
ICE beats up, drags & abducts this disabled visually impaired man.
Now share this.
Everyone must see the brutality of this administration & ask themselves what they are doing to push back.
You have power.
Even sharing this video exerts that power.

Hello. I’m an American TV cop pursuing a perp. I always know EXACTLY which direction they’re heading - confidently letting my partner know, via my walkie-talkie device: ‘suspect heading on foot South East on 59 Street,’ I can do this WITHOUT a compass. So there. 💪
Hello I'm a forensic scientist in a crime drama. I insist everyone obey me while I shout about contamination but then wander about my lab with my white coat flapping behind me.
Hello. I am a teacher in a film. I ignore all my years of training and experience by deciding to wait until the bell goes to tell the children as they are walking out, what their homework is knowing full well I haven’t a hope in hell of them doing it.

There. Are. No. Words.
The Telegraph today carries a news story about someone paying £7.4 million for a handbag (Hello, Lady Bracknell!). And an opinion piece describing a wealth tax as a ‘moral abomination’. What a time to be alive.

And another one! Another brave woman. 💪 👏🏼
Brownshirt ICE rolled up to my local Home Depot today and got the F-off treatment.
Shoutout to this woman because this is exactly how it’s done. No badge, face covered = F*ck all the way off.
📌 It’s on us citizens to stand up for our vulnerable brothers and sisters.

What an absolute star! Such a brave woman. There are so many decent Americans doing the right thing in the face of such cruelty. She stood up to these horrible, masked, armed brutes! Good for her 👏🏼
Clearly, it’s going to be up to us. Bravo to this woman! ICE = power hungry/crooked cops, Enrique Torres, Stewart Rhodes, pardoned 1/6’ers and the like. bsky.app/profile/thet...
WATCH: “This is f*cking kidnapping! That’s not your badge… I do have a little bit of education… get the f*ck out of here, racial profiling is illegal…”

FIFA, it is time to boycott the US and move the games from all US stadiums. It is not safe for the fans to come here any longer. I already have tickets but will gladly eat the costs if it makes the rest of the world safer to watch in person. There is still time. Do it now or regret it later.

RIP Hugo. Hit by a car yesterday. Beyond devastated. The most lovely natured and affectionate wee man. I’m going to miss him so so much but so glad he was mine for the last couple of years. 🐈⬛ 💔

My driver, Mohammed, quickly grew animated:
"How can the worst person in the world be given the greatest country in the world to lead?" he remarked. "It's disgusting."
It really is, Mohammed.

So sad to hear about the death of Mike Peters, front man of the Alarm. He was so lovely. I met him a couple of times. Taken too soon but at least his pain is now over. RIP.

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government.
No one has heard from you in 43 days.
As vigil, I’m posting a photo of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.
