@em___rem As a dyslexic always struggled in language subjects in school and felt like many teachers couldn't appreciate my actual abilities because of grammar and spelling issues. I started reading up on linguistics during A-levels which led to a BA, MRes, PhD and now teaching ling at uni

@LauraTvll This. Also I always get the feeling that it's implied they are somehow doing me a favour by offering treatment and support. No, I have a medical issue and I want to be treated and taken seriously because like every other human I (should) have a right to fundamental healthcare.

What did you learn from adjusting to online teaching over the last year and a half? blog.florian.me.uk/2021/05/adjust…

How do you ensure that you provide an effective learning environment in the face of increased diversity in the higher education classroom? blog.florian.me.uk/2021/04/divers…

Sharing my #FHEA case studies. Case Study 1: Learning to supervise BA and MA projects. In short: I needed to learn to let go. What was your first supervision experience, what did you have to learn? blog.florian.me.uk/2021/04/from-m…

Being in lockdown and all the climbing gyms and crags being closed shouldn't stop you from having fun.. Here's my first attemp at bouldering in my bedroom/office: "Work from Home" youtu.be/ODMAylM3q0Q #climbing #bouldering #buildering #likeandsubscribe

Come to #StrikeSchool today. Hans van de Koot will be talking about the Copula Gap - Why Black Vernacular English is as "normal" as the next language. 12.30pm at @ThePlaceLondon, WC1H 9PY. #teachout #UCUstrike #UCUstrikesback #equality #bias @UCL_UCU @LinguisticsUCL @lingsocUCL

Old dry christmas trees dumped out on the streets; black dog wags his tail again #haiku #christmasisovernow

What do we want? Equality! When do we want it? NOW! Who's the University? We're the University! #solidarity #UCUStrikesBack #endoutsourcing @UCL_UCU @iwgbucl

#StrikeSchool is on again today! Florian Breit (@fffree) will be giving a talk on the history of the #Welsh language with a focus on education policy entitled Of Blue Books and Welsh Nots. 12.30pm downstairs at @TheHarrisonFolk pub WC1H. #teachout #UCUStrikesBack @UCL_UCU

@cgsloan What utter rubbish! I've worked too many double shifts in a 50° kitchen for abysmal pay and with cursory abuse by superiors to be told that what I do now is not proper work. Maybe my body is not totally broken at the end of the same 70h week, but effort & exhaustion are the same.

The only way folks can defend conditions in academia is by weird comparisons. YOU THINK ACADEMIA IS BAD? TRY BUILDING A PYRAMID. TRY THROTTLING NEWBORNS FOR A LIVING. TRY BEING IN A HUMAN CENTIPEDE. TRY BEING A COMATOSE POWER SOURCE IN THE MATRIX. TRY BEING EATEN BY A CROCODILE.

Good turnout on the Chandler House picket line this morning. Support our fight for fair pay, equality, secure employment and decent pensions. #UCUStrikesBack #UCUstrike #UCLStrike @LinguisticsUCL @SHaPS_UCL @UCLLangCog @UCL_UCU

Not sure what to do when your lectures get cancelled due to #UCUstrike next week? Well, come to #StrikeSchool of course! More: chandlerhousestrikes.blogspot.com/p/strike-schoo… #UCLStrike #UCUStrikesBack #Educators #Linguistics @TheUnionUCL @lingsocUCL @PaLSPPG @UCL_UCU

@wmarybeard @CHonStrike Should also add this is not representative of non-term/non-teaching time, where usually I work no more than 50h/week, with very few exceptions maybe.

@wmarybeard @CHonStrike Very junior teaching fellow. Can feel like 100, but actual weeks during current term have been between 80-95h (mean ~86h). Tbh, I could manage w ~70h, but choose to sacrifice now so I can devote more to career dev activities (research, publishing,...) later in the year #tempjob

Can I ask academics of any level of seniority how many hours a week they reckon they work. My current estimate is over 100. I am a mug. But what is the norm in real life. ?

Calling on all students and staff at Chandler House. Affected by Casualisation, Workload, Pay Gap. Concerned about the future of Higher Ed? Tell us about it! #UCUStrikesBack #UCLStrikes #UCUStrikes @UCL_UCU @SHaPS_UCL @LinguisticsUCL @lingsocUCL

Many congratulations to @LinguisticsUCL and @UCLPALS student Dr Florian Breit who gained his PhD yesterday, passing his Viva with NO CORRECTIONS under the expert supervision of Prof John Harris.
