Final thing I’ll say about the ‘low value’ degrees thing: it’s not about ‘value’, but about restricting the development of critical thought for political gain. Sunak said it himself that he would get tough on universities because they’re ‘full of people who don’t vote Tory’ (1/)

Russell Group, which is made up of 24 leading #universities including Oxford and Cambridge, has announced that students will be allowed to use generative AI. Here's what you need to know 🧵👇 1/ #AIEthics

More than £50 million invested in facilities over the last decade @chiuni whilst staff pay cut in real terms year after year due to VCs self proclaimed ‘challenging financial situation’. Here’s a suggestion; #peoplenotbuildings

🧵 CAN I ASK ALL UCU MEMBERS TO RT THIS IMPORTANT THREAD ON UCEA’S STATEMENT YESTERDAY In short - they’ve got some front. #ucuRISING

If you believe in women's suffrage, you believe in the right to protest. If you oppose apartheid, you believe in the right to protest. If you think our children deserve a liveable future, you believe in the right to protest. Defend our freedoms. Repeal the Public Order Bill!

“civic protest is the bedrock of democracy, not an attack on it: an inalienable right that must never be chipped away” from #OnBeingUnreasonable linktr.ee/onbeingunreaso…

Exactly! There’s no justification for this sort of blatant mismanagement of democracy.

Intuitive presentations in the Arts For Social Change Showcase held by @CollEnc. Always a joy to see just how much the Arts can help so many people. #Theatre #SocialChange #Education

Shell just recorded £32 billion in profit. 3,000 people in the UK die every year because they can't afford to heat their homes. There’s nothing pragmatic about letting greed run rampant while the poorest freeze to death. Energy is a public good. It should be in public hands.

500,000 workers on strike tomorrow. RT if you support every single one of them.

Insightful lecture series this evening from @TheSTR presented by Jorik Mol on 'Theatre on the Spectrum: Theatre Training & the Neurodivergent'. Great to reflect further on my students' needs as well as my own #neurodivergency. #Theatre #Teaching

When faced with misogyny in the headlines teachers and parents always ask: "How do I talk to the boys in my life about sexual violence?" You don't. You don't start there. If you want to have an actual conversation that works, it has to begin somewhere else. 🧵

A one-off 1% wealth tax on households with more than £1 million could fund the nurses’ demand for a fair pay rise 162 times over. Don’t ever let anyone tell you we can’t afford to pay workers what they need and deserve. Solidarity with members from @theRCN on strike today.

RT if you aren’t having MPs who have been given a £20,000 pay increase over the last 12 years telling nurses, rail workers, posties and university workers that they shouldn’t demand better.

CAN I ASK ALL UCU MEMBERS TO RT THIS FINAL BALLOT THREAD. For £6.85 you can still vote via special delivery. And that’s fitting because this has been a special campaign. Let’s look at some highlights. #ucuRISING

@DavidoLFC @BecksGreeny Glad the discussion made an impression 😂

@DavidoLFC @Choreezy09 @BecksGreeny @SORARE_Beginner @ArmstrongJeffe6 @Alan_Oliver @liannesanderson Nah mate - I'd say go with U5's - maybe even newborn 🖖🏻🤘🏻👌🏻👃🦶

9-0 in the mens game Seems to equal great performance. Absolutely. In the women’s game for some it equals poor goalkeeping and “Women’s football is rubbish “ 🤣 oh the double standard. How ironic.

@DavidoLFC @Choreezy09 @BecksGreeny @SORARE_Beginner @ArmstrongJeffe6 @Alan_Oliver @liannesanderson ...as though it's embarrassing. Like what do you expect with diff body types. Hence why we see different weight categories in boxing because of the different physical advantages. Both boxer's work in their own categories but obviously one has a significant somatotype difference.

@DavidoLFC @Choreezy09 @BecksGreeny @SORARE_Beginner @ArmstrongJeffe6 @Alan_Oliver @liannesanderson 14+ Yr old males will have higher testosterone (which obvs promotes muscle mass + increases energy) than women. They'll have higher physical advantage & thus more likely to win. Not sure why these examples are used in some people's points to belittle parts of the women's game...
