I’ve been quiet about my redundancy for a while, trying to move on. But I’ve been trying to pursue a claim for maternity discrimination because I was assessed in the scoring over a three year period against a series of criteria, during which time I was on mat leave for 8 mos 🧵

The Tories gave Michelle Mone £203m for useless PPE. She bought a yacht. Vote tactically. StopTheTories.Vote

The jaw-dropping mess of UK higher education is starkly revealed by a series of news stories all on the @timeshighered website in the last week or so:
1.) There are job cuts right across the sector (44 universities and counting): timeshighereducation.com/new…

We are appalled that the Government is once again singling out arts & creative subjects for funding cuts in Higher Education.
Many courses have already closed and a growing number are at risk.
This attack on the arts must stop now.

THREAD: What is happening in UK universities is astonishing. Right now about quarter of universities are laying off staff. Almost all universities expect to make a loss this year. And the entire thing is happening in an effort to deceive the population about migration statistics.

RIP Marjorie Perloff (1931-2024). Marjorie was one of the most important, influential scholars of modernist and contemporary poetry, and a generous mentor and friend to me and countless others. She was a force of nature and she'll be deeply missed. facebook.com/andrew.epstein.…
