I really think a university that is in Astana and not Cardiff should not be called Cardiff University. Place matters, place names matter.

"The conditions that migrants will have to meet to gain indefinite leave to remain include being in work" then this is fundamentally - among other things - another attack on family visas. coming to the uk on a spouse visa means work is *not a requirement of entry*, so will labour be changing that?

Very much enjoying the culture of trust and respect implicit in the installation of room usage monitoring devices on academics' office doors today. Imagine my shock on discovering that managers' doors remain unsullied…

“The ECHR isn’t Brussels meddling. It’s the foundation that protects you from your own government.” 👏👏👏
Leaving the ECHR won’t “Take Back Control” – it will hand your rights to politicians
The myths are seductive, the reality is very different – without the ECHR your freedoms rest on whichever Home Secretary wakes up grumpy

Another day, another email with a REF task. I’ve been at my institution barely a year and already lost so many hours to this bleak stuff. I know everyone hates it but it’s even more exhausting when you’re fixed-term ECR and doing it for an institution that’ll turf you out as soon as contract ends

Nigel Farage: "We will abolish indefinite leave to remain (ILR) status", and "We will rescind ILR statuses that have already been granted".

The first sentence is worryingly ignorant. The second sentence is frighteningly fascist.

I published this piece today, on how the binary gender model and enforced gender roles are a model of hierarchical child abuse that punishes everyone but the capitalists who run the system.

It would mean a lot if you read it. This link is unpaywalled.

Thank you. 💜

Anyway a lot of that 80s and early 90s media just doesn’t exist online in a contextual way and now seems at odds with the internet. We talk like history started with AOL, and increasingly we live like that’s true.

But tabloid media, including the trash tv, was so important to our political lives.
