I no longer use X because of its ownership and full-on jump to fascism and the extreme right. I’m using Bluesky instead -just search for karencuthbert on the app - please follow me there!

Please have a wee read and share! #ActuallyAutistic #Neurodiversity #LateDiagnosedAutism @UofGlasgow

This is my brilliant dissertation student Mollie. She's looking for some more participants - can you please retweet and disseminate? Autism research is still way too androcentric so research like Mollie's is really important!

The only times I ever seem to tweet nowadays is in relation to strikes. To that end, our building’s picket has got a communal playlist on the go and a speaker - these are my contributions #ucuRISING @UCUGlasgow

I’m looking for participants for my dissertation if anyone fits the criteria and would like to take part! I’m looking into the barriers autistic women face when seeking autism diagnoses. Please email 2476201w@student.ac.uk to take part or for more info!

Hi all, this is my wonderful UG dissertation student Jess. She's doing super important research about experiences of autistic women and if you could retweet this/share with any of your networks, I'd really appreciate it!

I’m obsessed with Kathryn Joseph. Her third album is just whdhebndncjenje 😍😍

This nonsense bullshit research 'on' asexuality is still happening and I hate it, but it also gives me a spark to work against this positivism that treats asexuality and asexual people as weird specimens to be 'known' by Science.

1st phased return day at work after a few months being unwell & in hospital, & 1st thing I see in my inbox is notification of an article exploring trends between 'obesity' & asexuality 😡 Ease yourself in by working through inbox, I said. Don't excise yourself too much, I said.

Also @UofGVC I think potential #TeamUofG members and those thinking of coming to #worldchangingglasgow should be aware that cuts to our pensions, according to Equality Impact Assessment, will have most devastating blow to women and BME staff and those new to the scheme. Just FYI

Anyone considering studying or applying for a job at #worldchangingglasgow and #TeamUofG should be aware of the unsustainable workload staff have that is destroying our health and the huge amounts of casualised labour the Uni depends on. Don’t you agree @UofGVC? #FourFights

Hi @UofGVC, i haven’t tweeted you for a few days but just to let you know that I’m still striking for pension justice since you’ve decided to push ahead with devastating cuts to our pensions, as well as failing to address systemic inequalities at #worldchangingglasgow #TeamUofG

At a teach-out on ethics in academia as part of our strike activities at @ucuglasgow, featuring my amazing colleagues @DrSGreenwood @JoFerrie as well as @ClaireBynner @nairuichng and @kayguccione @ucuscotland @ucu #oneofusallofus

Hi @UofGVC (can I call you Anton - I’ve tweeted you enough). Unfortunately I’m not on picket with colleagues today because I’m wracked with anxiety & having to mentally prepare to go back to my precarious fixed term job tomorrow. Reality of #worldchangingglasgow & being #TeamUofG

Re: previous tweets, this graphic is literally factually true @UofGVC @uofglasgow #worldchangingglasgow #TeamUofG

Hello @UofGVC! Staff at HE institutions, including @UofGlasgow, display: 15.1% #paygap between men and women 17% #paygap between black and white staff 9% disability #paygap SHAME Is this part of the strategy for #WorldChangingGlasgow #TeamUofG ? #FourFights

🧵

Hello @UofGVC! 68% of research academics in the UK are on fixed-term contracts. That number includes myself. Fixed term contracts are bad for staff, bad for students. How are you going to make sure we can continue to be part of #TeamUofG ? #WorldChangingGlasgow #FourFights

Dear @UofGVC, for 7 years I was one of 68% of UK HE research staff on fixed-term contracts. Today there are 1,149 staff at risk of redundancy @UofG. How will you ensure that they feel valued by #TeamUofG in a way that I never did? #WorldChangingGlasgow #OneOfUsAllOfUs #FourFights
