@EllaTasm This is a cool idea!

@MetaskillsPhD Top gift so far: all the papers on a USB stick

Academics: what's your favourite thing to find in the inevitable tote bag you get at training/conference events? Pondering ideas for goodies for a 3-day PhD event this summer.

It was amazing to participate in the Navigating Wellbeing & Reimagining Resistance During the PhD Symposium organized by @SocSciScotland . Special thanks to @MetaskillsPhD and @jessicaclearyy for making the event special! Check out my post about the event: blogs.napier.ac.uk/aleksander-bie…

@Middleton_Ly Yeah, budget might not stretch to that, although keepcups are already in the plan. Highlighters are a good idea, and snacks! Thanks :)

@DamianHMorgan @katobell I guess that makes sense - practicalities are always good. Just trying to give them some added value this time.

We're busy preparing for next week's strike action - back out from 21st-25th. We want to hear from all @EdinburghNapier staff about how YOU are affected by the #FourFights such as excessive workloads, pay erosion & precarity - & what YOU want to see change! DMs open. Pls RT!

Great first day at #ECADOC2021, and I'm really looking forward to presenting my theory idea to my group on Wednesday after such good conversations about today's! Here's a solstice sunrise from Edinburgh for those who aren't physically here:

@AbiTruebig Agreed on all points.

@AbiTruebig Yeah, I don't either. I think purpose is good for the soul...I don't think that necessarily equates to paid labour though!

@AbiTruebig Ah, she must have heard about this independent.co.uk/asia/china/chi…

ICYMI: I wrote about Simone Biles, whose excellence has become an act of resistance theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/…
