@BeccaEHarrison Congrats Becca! Sorry to hear it was a tough process but that's even more reason for a big decadent celebratory booze xx

@ladymede Moi 🤧

How many of you have lost your voice or know someone that has in the last couple of weeks?

@fi_mckay @ScotParl Amazing work Fi! 👏

I was privileged to be able to contribute to this by conducting the Gender Sensitive Audit on @ScotParl last year. Very pleased to see the recommendations made by the Board below 👇

@KatieMcGettigan Congratulations Katie!

Celebrating this joint arrival! Cora Elizabeth on 26 Jan and copies of my book in the post today!

Really need a new striking jacket cause this one's been on the go since 2014 🥴 #UKStrikes #ucuRISING #UpTheWorkers

@fi_mckay @StrathHum @StrathJMC @RobertGordonUni So buzzed for you Fifi 🖤 Can't wait to have you back xx

Some personal news 📢In the new year I will be starting a new position as lecturer in journalism at @StrathHum with great team @StrathJMC. Exciting to get back to Glasgow but sad to leave the equally wonderful group @RobertGordonUni - been a memorable four and a half years, ken!

@katexw @angelabartie @eleanor_bell Incredible work doll 🖤 so buzzed for you! Xx

Great turnout and unexpectedly great weather for day 2 of the #UCUstrike with @katexw @louiselo_ and @MeachRachel #UCURising

@katexw Congrats hen! Hope you had the very best day xx

@AlessiaZinnari Aw hen, you're so welcome! Will be saying regular prayers to the funding gods for you 🙏

This week I submitted two postdoctoral applications (IRC and Leverhulme for internal selection), but it feels more like I've submitted my entire soul. I am absolutely DEAD now! But I am also so grateful to my academic community of friends. Where would I be without you guys!? 🥹

PLEASE RT this thread. Today Royal Mail Group have called together every postal worker in the UK and announced they want to make 10,000 redundancies. This is nothing but an intimidation tactic aimed at crushing the spirit of our members #StandByYourPost

@catbateson Can't believe I missed this! Huge congrats to you Cat 🥳 it looks great!

It’s been a week since #pubday for my book “Irish American Civil War Songs: Identity, Loyalty and Nationhood”! An ENORMOUS thank you for all the kind messages - I’ve been really touched by the congratulations. With that in mind, I want to say some big thank yous (thread time…)

Finally home from a truly incredible research fellowship at the @ransomcenter. From the archives to the football, I loved every second of it 🤠

HUGE congrats to absolute star, Dr @katexw! So very well deserved🖤

“We don’t think of pregnancy as something that someone might very rationally decide not to do because it’s too much of a risk. That kind of thought process is obviated by the sense that it’s natural and moral, and perhaps also holy, for women to do this.” nyti.ms/3AuQ9eF

What’s behind the rising interest in women’s magazines, and what remains invisible? @Rach_Alexa and @checkpointchaz reconsider the 1990s campuspress.stir.ac.uk/scotmagsnet/20…

Gutted I've had to miss all pickets this week cause covid finally caught me but it's really heartening to see this sort of support
