Loved her singing, loved her songs, loved every amazing and unsung thing she did. But especially that she kept on being herself through literally decades of being thought of as the kind of joke only a woman could be.

The long debunked -junk-science maven at Ghent? In sending that video out in the aftermath of Dr. Arday's death he was asking the Right-Wing-Techno sphere for funding, he was stating out loud "look what a successful junk yard dog I am for whiteness - fund me, be my patron i'll be your bitch."

I'd like to compare how Irish commentators wrote about Jason Arday with how they wrote about Brian Lucey, the Irish academic who had several papers retracted earlier this year because he had been corruptly peer reviewing his own work, but literally no Irish commentators wrote about it

Six key messages from Exeter UCU. The upshot is that these proposed cuts are unnecessary and damaging. We must stop them. Please amplify these messages if you can!
Exeter Uni’s finances are strong. We’ve large cash reserves (£200m in 24/25). Never had a budget deficit. This ‘crisis’ is manufactured.
Executive pay at Exeter is out of control. If just the 16 highest-paid execs capped their salary at £120k, we’d save more money than all the cuts to Archeology & History!
No meaningful consultation, but a confused mess: faulty and insufficient data, no real discussion, and an impossible, anxiety-inducing and unreasonable timetable to push this through over the summer.
An all-staff meeting of 600 staff resoundingly voted no confidence in Vice Chancellor Lisa Roberts (whose pay and benefits are pushing £400k). We believe this is the biggest single vote by any uni staff in the history of UK HE.
Redundancies are a management choice, not a financial necessity. They even have alternative costed plans with no cuts, but think it’s easier to go for job losses.
Exeter is a fantastic uni, with world-class research, creative and inspiring teaching, and a caring, thoughtful and imaginative community of staff and students. Let’s keep it that way.

The personal consequences are the most important thing here, but it is worth mentioning that Exeter is a major hub for Arabic/Islamic studies. Following on from Lancaster, Kent and Nottingham, our country's ability to talk intelligently about religion is being erased as religious prejudice rises.
