@craigafrench Delighted to see this in the wild!

I'm very happy to share a new paper on the philosophy of psychotherapy: "On the Myth of Psychotherapy". To appear in Philosophy, Psychiatry, & Psychology. philpapers.org/rec/FREOTM Many think that mental illness is a myth. Is psychotherapy a myth too? What does that even mean?

Happening on Tuesday 14th Nov at 2pm! @74msrc Creativity, Making Meaning and Mental Health @NottsPhilosophy @UoNHumanities beinghumanfestival.org/events/creativ…

@rethinkexistent @philosofemme @jonathanwebber @MFOxford It’s a great book. Use it a lot in my authenticity module.

@katieplays40k There's a climbing wall at the University of Nottingham's University Park campus. A mere three tram stops from Warhammer World, too!

@ucu Hi @ucu, thanks for all your great work on this. Can I ask whether these negotiations include any discussion around the issue of casualisation?

We will update members on the progress of the negotiations as regularly as possible. 5/5 #ucuRISING

🚨UCU STATEMENT ON HE PAY NEGOTIATIONS🚨 The joint unions (UCU, Unison, Unite, GMB, and EIS) met with representatives of the employers (Universities and Colleges Employers Association) on Wednesday 30 November. 1/ #ucuRISING

Watch out, @Utiliwood.

Be rude not to share this classic on a day like today ... The Day Today - Pound Stolen

This is Brexit

@AndyLeachGM Do! Perhaps time for the return of Rt. Hon. Sir Jeremy Morris MP.

@JJC87 I’ll sign you up!

Watching the UK news at the moment and so keen to run a The Thick of It #ttrpg

@GuyLongworth Great! Look forward to reading them both.

Usefully paired with its sister-paper: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

@AWorsnip @LedermanHarvey Or: “I don’t want to be rude, but…”

@LedermanHarvey At least in the UK, the classic is "I'm not racist, but..."

Good time to savour this, once again

@DrTonyPadilla @MikeOtsuka @ucu Hi Tony! Do you know whether other such targeted action (e.g. boycotting of welcome weeks, open days…) has ever been tried and proven to have some effect?

If @ucu conference insists on (1) conjoining the two disputes and (2) disaggregating the ballots, then the only way to make significant progress will be locally (eg👇) rather than UK-wide.

@craigafrench In my view, there was no need to include this sentence in your online review of the latte’s from portland cafe.

I just wrote the sentence "It is, as it were, in the space of reasons." - What a pompous dick!!!! #OccupationalHazard

@Mark_Jago Forest into the final of the play-offs, giving them a chance to play in the premiership for first time since 1999, courtesy of @samba_brice.

Pretty good fireworks display over the City ground just now. Did something of note happen?

@craigafrench @undyzed Exactly!

@JJC87 Ha! Do you mean @undyzed

Why does a cat who is *this* comfortable feel the need to steal my chair every time I get up? #cats

Here’s my take on why workplace casualisation sucks. Would appreciate a RT @ucu @UoNUCU @UoNCasuals @MikeOtsuka @NadiaWhittomeMP @Philip_Goff thanks! #OneOfUsAllOfUs #UCUstrikes Casualisation of the workforce | Attic Philosophy youtu.be/-350D4sMPcs

@OxfordUCU @USSbriefs @UniversitiesUK ...and Nottingham appears to be set to pay just over £13m a year in deficit payments. @UoNUCU

Wow. By failing to stand up to @UniversitiesUK and in their haste to dismiss the UCU USS proposals, Univeristy of Oxford will now wasting £32m per year in unnecessary deficit recovery payments.

🚨🚨🚨A vindication of @ucu's call for a moderately prudent 2022 valuation: Even on the excessively prudent assumptions of the 2020 valuation, as of 28 Feb 2022 it would cost only 25.6% (17.7% employer, 7.9% member, assuming 65:35 cost-sharing) to fund UUK's proposed cuts! 1/
