A cold, grey but cheerful morning on the picket line. Thank you to everyone who came out in person, observed the #DigitalPicket , or has otherwise supported our fight to build a better future for higher education. #UCUstrikes

Crypto isn’t just a financial technology: it’s a new way of storing and sending anything of value. The world has already gone digital — crypto helps us catch up.

Wondering why staff across 68 universities are on strike?

Right. Although I’m no longer paid to do my research (and apparently it didn’t count as a ‘job’ anyway), I will be observing the #DigitalPicket for the next three days, in solidarity. #OneOfUsAllOfUs

It’s a full #strike week at Edinburgh uni. A wee reminder that all of us on strike don’t get paid during this time & are anxious about workload. Please can colleagues who can strike but aren’t (& will, nevertheless, still benefit from our actions) respect the #digitalpicket 😉

Hi, I'm a history professor. You might know me from my chart-topping singles, 'college students are not snowflakes (shut up),' 'political parties aren't the same as they were 150 years ago (DDS remix),' and my smash hit 'You can't separate race and class, dammit! (feat. Pitbull)'

Was it just us, or were the #UCU strikes massively energising? Aside from the break, hanging out with colleagues from other disciplines, and the solidarity of the #DigitalPicket were wonderful.

Remember: when it comes to wanting a better HE, you're not alone.

1/3 - Along w/ staff across 68 UK universities, I will be on strike Feb 14-18, Feb 21-22, Feb 28-Mar 2. We are striking over pensions, pay & working conditions.

During this time I will be participating in the #DigitalPicket . That means no tweets related 2 research/teaching/work

Today (13 March) we're striking but not picketing and we've cancelled the planned rally. BUT there is still a #DigitalPicket and we'd like you to hold in mind these picket line photos - this is the #VirtualPicket

Remember, some branches are taking strike action this week. Maintain the #digitalpicket because #OneOfUsAllOfUs . Don't give VCs any more cover - expose them and their policies of greed. United we win.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but tweeting about University fieldtrips is contributing to University marketing is crossing the #DigitalPicket - #OneOfUsAllOfUs #UCUstrikes

Please observe the #digitalpicket . There are tough days ahead for some time to come for many thousands of humans connected to university work and study. So please observe the picket and promote this dispute. Scholarship promotion can wait. #USSmess #digitalpicket Strathclyde UCU

It’s 11am and time for the Leeds University UCU #ucustrike #digitalpicket rally. Is everyone ready to sing along? ...I’m on the picket it’s the one on...

Hi, I'm a Criminology lecturer. You might know me from ... I'm on strike #UCUstrikesback #digitalpicket #Solidarity

A reminder that the #digitalpicket line continues this week as many academics across the UK are still on strike re. #USS & #FourFights (those in the later group).

So please don't tweet about your papers, grants, stakeholder meetings etc.

Solidarity to all today's picketers!

My twitter feed is just end-to-end digital picketing and I am absolutely here for it ❤️ #UCU #UCU Strike #ucuRISING #digitalpicket Sheffield UCU UCUHallam is on a #MAB. #UCURising #HallamOnStrike UCU Jo Grady Dr. Kirsty Liddiard

People have been also saying the #digitalpicket is not effective - it’s a statement of solidarity that is inclusive and is FREE. It genuinely only involves putting your own ego aside for a few days and thinking of others (AND you, because you benefit from industrial action too).

Gentle reminder that even if you and/or your institution aren't part of the strike action this week, you can still observe the #DigitalPicket

In lieu of an official running picket today, solidarity Leeds University UCU UCU UOY is fighting for fairness from Ilkley moor! #UCUstrikesback #digitalpicket

Solidarity this morning to all those of you out for 3 more days, in what is already a tough week. Take care.

If you’ve not been striking, it’s not too late to join (ucu.org.uk/join).

If you can’t strike, don’t cross the #digitalpicket .
