No room left in my profile to say: RT ≠ endorsements; views my own.

@criminographer Oh my gosh I am so sorry to hear this part. Much love and strength to you.

My favourite video of you, Isabelle. It's another layer of torture having to read so many mistakes made in your care. You deserved better, and so do your siblings. This investigation process is hell but necessary. What I would give for one more cuddle. X #grief #childloss

@BenAndersonGeog Last semester I had a Taylor Swift (tour) essay in Economic Geography!

Marking 3rd year Neoliberal Life essays, with the new Taylor Swift album on. There are essays on almost everything - climate change influencers, the Barbie movie, Mr Beast, Black Mirror, ‘Trad Mums’, train privatisation etc etc, but inexplicably none on Taylor Swift! Next year

@remi_edwards Whoo-hoo! Congrats!!!

That's Dr Edwards to you Elated to say that yesterday I completed my viva and passed without corrections My thesis is entitled 'How workers shape supply chain governance: struggles to establish, implement and contest private initiatives'

@joelquirk Is this because anti-trafficking is (still) a "women's" issue? B/c it also feels like there is a lot of historical precedent here in terms of women's charitable & philanthropic work.

@PriyamvadaGopal Check what ChatGPT says about you, that might be it

"I have been deeply impressed by your influential work in the field of African literature, ecocriticism, ecomedia, and postcolonial literature." Letter to me from prospective graduate student. I've never written anything but the last.

@nealagarwal lots of fun and laughs with infinite craft. However (and I assume there's some kind of content filtering) we ended up with an offensive term.

The British Home Office refused to grant a visa to a Palestinian refugee even though she had received a full scholarship to study for a doctorate at the London School of Economics. It claimed a visa would "harm the public interest." No further explanation. middleeasteye.net/news/home-offi…

@criminographer Much love to you

Holding back the tears on the bus being reminded of this lovely photo, on this day in 2020. His siblings learnt from the best about how to adore each other.F asked yesterday if Alexander could come to his house. We all miss you so much, Alexander 💙 #grief #childloss #siblingloss

My students <3

@criminographer You have clearly created joy, hope you feel more of it again soon. <3

It's probably not a surprise I've struggled to find the #dailyjoy lately. This time of year is just sledgehammer after sledgehammer anyway, but now accompanied by fear about her diagnosis. But today's is this lovely sisterly moment. She insists on a daily cuddle! ❤️❤️ #childloss

@matilda_jt Normal

What do you call it when you’re literally writing every day but still don’t feel like you’re getting anywhere

Finally a university has the courage to make a stronger statement on genocidal Israeli actions. Way way too late but other universities must follow, and end ties with Israeli companies and universities #BDSMovement #Gaza_Genocide #CeasefireForGazaNOW

The assassins targeted, went after and killed the voice of Gaza, one of its best academics, a human, my dear and precious friend dr. Refaat al-Ar’eer @itranslate123 @GazaWritesBack

@criminographer Much love to you

Our darling boy, on a solo hike with me this time in December 2020 & him as a soldier in the play 2 years ago, just a couple of weeks before he died. I can't even articulate where I'm at with processing all of this. We just love & miss you so much, Alexander 💔 #grief #childloss

And I forgot that "X" no longer shows the headline. 🤦🏽‍♀️... Guess what? Defined benefit plans are back in fashion!

Well look at that! nytimes.com/2023/11/24/bus…

@criminographer Sorry to hear, hope it is getting better. Much love to you (and always happy to chat even though I'm in a different time zone now).

It's been a pretty awful few days for us as a family. I've got Peter with me today as I prepare to speak at the #acdrp event to tell Alexander's story and to share how other families experienced the multi agency response to their child's death. It's taken every ounce of energy

@zenscara Absolutely!

*best kept secret* I'm running to be the next General Secretary of UCU I’ve spent the last 14 years of my life active in the union & believe I have the experience & understanding to build a stronger UCU that represents the interests of all our members 1/2 vickyblakeucu.uk/2023/11/13/vic…

V. happy to have nominated Vicky. She has extensive experience of every level of UCU & is committed to building a democratic union that fights for its members. Over the last 2 years she has consistently had a solid analysis of our disputes & the role of the grassroots.

This Veterans Day, we must remember the cost of war, especially on our veterans. I am so grateful for the courageous veterans who are calling for a ceasefire to save lives.
