Excited to start my new job today...

Why are nurses voting to strike? 🏥 Between 2011-’21 nurses average basic earnings fell by 5% ❤️‍🩹 44% have been unwell due to stress and overwork 👩‍⚕️ 6 in 10 are considering leaving their jobs 🧑‍⚕️ NHS England has a 40,000 nurse shortfall Get behind The RCN 💜 #EnoughIsEnough

I'd just like to point out that I detested the Tories before it was fashionable!

Just taken a seminar. I joked at the start that I wondered whether we'd still have a govt by the end of it... and lo and behold! And all the students cheered!

I had forgotten just how completely and comprehensively shit is Turnitin Feedback Studio as a tool for marking assignments. Clunky, awkward and inflexible.

I NEED EVERY UCU MEMBER AND SUPPORTER TO RT THIS THREAD. Threats of unfair and immoral pay deductions for taking part for action short of striking continue. This thread exposes those universities that prefer to intimidate their staff than treat them with respect. #ucuRISING

🚨 I NEED EVERY FOLLOWER TO SHARE THIS🚨 Every single university in the UK will be shut down with 18 days of strike action across February and March RT if you will support UCU members RT if you will be on our pickets #ucuRISING #EnoughlsEnough

Job going at The OED jobs.oup.com/uk/jobs/vacanc… It's a great place to work, and Claire Etty tells me this is basically an entry-level post for a job like hers, and she came from a History background!
