The most stressed out I've ever been about Christmas was when I was 16 and I got my first ever job, working at M&S in Dundrum. As soon as I started I kept hearing these myths about the Christmas Eve Waste Sale, where all the food that wasn't sold on the 24th was marked down 90%.

Finding lots of interesting and new-to-me people/research projects to follow from the #CDS24 tweets. I know tweeting often feels like shouting into the void, but I'm still here and I appreciate it! #DisabilityStudies

This thread. This is why #UCUStrike . Also why I get frustrated with people who believe academia is a meritocracy. Kate is a brilliant teacher, scholar and colleague; any institution would be lucky to have her. The system (and the English lit job market in particular) is broken.

As far as my #precaritystory goes, I’ve been luckier than some and I’m grateful for that. But I’m also exhausted, physically and emotionally. Here are some reasons why I am, once again, on #UCUstrike 1/

We're having an initial meeting next week, but first lesson has already been learned: for anything going out via corporate comms, I need to *specifically state* that any images should be checked with me, and that it's not OK to add colourful "puzzle piece" graphics...

Neurodiversity/disability peeps: I've finally bit the bullet and and am trying and launch a network/group for neurodivergent staff at the uni where I work. Any advice/guidance from people who've done something similar, or suggestions of resources?

"In plain terms, the design process of creating a Disability Dongle isn’t actually about producing an assistive device, shitty or not, it’s about producing an idea of what disability is." Excellent, thought-provoking piece on disability/technology and citational injustice.

"It’s hard to talk about workload without looking like you are admitting failure." @dkernohan on @Wonkhe absolutely hitting the nail on the head here. Essential reading on overwork in HE.

Finally WonkHE's @dkernohan reflects on the reasons we work too much and the barriers to changing things. A very human account which complements the business/legal cases in the other pieces. /4

Friday night and term is finally done! Encouraging colleagues to have a real break over Christmas: email notifications off, autoreply on, step away from marking, prep, and research. Look after yourself now so you can take care of students and colleagues when we come back.
