Please be human.

Arrived at 09:15. On the roof again. Not sure where these mysterious 24/7 spaces are, never seen one available. Not sure what I’m going to do when I have to teach past 7pm.

I was going to sell my cheap lamp I had in my old office. Nope. This new Waterside office has auto on/off lights and I keep ending up in the dark! (Somehow I think there’s an institutional metaphor in that 🤔🤷🏼‍♀️😂)

MAGA #MakeAmericaGileadAlready Republicans are running for office. Vote like your life, or your partner’s life, depends on it. Because if either of you are able to get pregnant, it does.

I love when I have American students in my class when I do an exercise that lets them realize how much time we are workloaded to grade their work. After they pick their jaws back up, they comment, “Well THAT explains a lot!” 10min/1k words ain’t a lotta time!

Solidarity to Newcastle Uni colleagues and friends - this is very worrying and will surely not be the last. Durham UCU (@ducu.bsky.social) members - you have just had an email about a consultative ballot (a vote on holding a ballot) at Durham. Please vote in it!

I’m not on here much anymore, but THIS was worth sharing! bsky.app/profile/profja…

Does anyone know what building at Durham University is “DHE”? I’ve spent 45 minutes searching on the Uni website with zero success. Bonus points if you have a link to a map or website that actually has building codes.
