This is an exasperated, boring tweet. Please, VCs. Stop. You dont care about students, and you don't care about us lecturers. And you are encouraging a similar culture amongst your SMTs. Detachment We do care. We love learning and teaching. Stop. It.

Well, our book 'Stealing Time: Migration, Contested Temporalities and State Violence' is finished and off to @Palgrave @DrMonishBhatia and I certainly didn't foresee a pandemic when we started, but still the awesome authors - across 6 continents - pulled it off. Amazing 💫

No. No. No. If you cannot keep to relentless academic deadlines due to a) homeschooling, b) being exhausted or stressed and/or c) LIVING THROUGH A PANDEMIC then do not accept further pressure from those at the top asking for free labour. The world will still turn without it.

I am getting really frustrated by the number of scientists declining to peer-review manuscripts at the moment. Please step up and help us academic editors out. We don't have time either, especially to chase after 10s of names to get reviewers. Support the system.

@godwontlikethis My issue is not how I eat - it is the structural conditions under which I work.

What is the actual legal position of universities continuing to take 50% of wages for 'partial performance' while staff return to marking? Wage theft will continue here until all marks are submitted - even while marking is underway Is this legal @ucu ?

Got article reviewer feedback yesterday. One suggestion is not to use 'me' when writing about my work. The reviewer used 'I', 'me' and 'my' no less than - dear friends - 12 times.

I love this. I'm a 'naive little girl' for challenging Javid's stance on illegalised migration. I wonder what part makes me most naive- my PhD, senior lectureship in criminology, or the decade+ spent researching immigration. OR... is it my age and gender?! @CMcoggly

39 humans die in horrendous circumstances and the first response is to discuss their migration and legality status. The void in dignity is palpable - even in death people who are migrants are refused humanity.

*Please* can somebody tell Vice Chancellors that the best way of protecting student's ongoing education and student experience is by ensuring ALL staff have reasonable working conditions and workloads, and a pension that allows dignity in retirement? *Please* *Somebody*

We are getting really close to the wire for VCs to get in gear for sorting #MAB Students work hard, and they want their work marked 👇🏾 Not sure when the last time VCs marked was, but my 394,000 words need marking, and it will take time. Get moving.

Sad to see Bristol join the legion of universities that seem to think we have 50-100% allocation for marking, so 50-100 wage loss Seems staff not involved will be asked to cover where necessary I'm scheduled to mark 394,000 words within 3 weeks 👍🏾
