The @timeshighered.bsky.social has reported that @ewanmg.bsky.social and I have applied to the Certification Officer regarding concerns over the 2024 UCU general secretary election. UCU has characterised this as “smearing”, via a spokesperson. www.timeshighereducation.com/news/jo-grad... /1

🚨 Third consecutive vote for industrial action 🚨 ✅ strike action: 76% ✅ action short of a strike (ASOS): 80% ✅ turnout: 77% ASOS begins today with @ucu.org.uk threatening staff: "We'll deduct your wages." Double standards and vindictive attacks undermine us all. #ReclaimUCU

Jo Grady calling Queen Mary management "vindictive" for making deductions from UCU members taking action short of a strike: Jo Grady, UCU's general secretary, said Queen Mary's senior management had "launched a vindictive attack" on its members, "punishing them for taking part in lawful industrial action" and "cementing its reputation as the worst university employer in the UK" She said: "It is wrong to do this at any time and all the more deplorable as staff struggle to make ends meet in a cost of living crisis."

Solidarity @uniteucu.bsky.social who are starting 20+ strikes given ongoing dispute with employer (UCU). Our union (UCU) is in an ongoing dispute with their own staff. Embarrassing to say the least.

Just the sheer, obscene spectacle of a Government minister on £160K+ plus expenses and all the freebies, coming for the sub £10K per year that my son gets in PIP - being autistic & learning disabled in a deeply unequal, discriminatory & hostile society is not a “lifestyle choice”

Totally agree with this. Flying a person to a third country that they may never have been to, directly into a prison where they are going to be forced to do hard labor, is not a deportation; it's something else entirely.

Exciting to share my new OA article in Third World Quarterly ! I use cyborg movidas -the collective embodiment of political manoeuvres influenced by emotions such as rage & love- to understand how feminist activists engage in protest as a technology of resistance doi.org/10.1080/0143...

Latin American feminists have theorised the intersection betweenwomen’s bodies and the territories they inhabit via cuerpo-territorio.Adding a new layer of complexity, this article turns to the wayInstagram has become another space where women navigate thisrelationship. I use the August 2019 feminist protests against thegovernment and police in Mexico accompanied by the hashtags#NoMeCuidanMeViolan (they don’t take care of me, they rape me),#NoNosCuidanNosViolan (they don’t take care of us, they rape us),#MeCuidanMisAmigasNoLaPolicia (my friends take care of me notthe police) and #ExigirJusticiaNoEsProvocacion (demanding justiceis not a provocation) to show how women reclaim their bodies inboth material and virtual spaces. Based on Donna Haraway’s andChela Sandoval’s work I use the term cyborg movidas to examinehow Mexican feminist activists engaged in protest as a technologyof resistance. Cyborg movidas are the collective embodiment of polit-ical manoeuvres influenced by emotions such as rage and love,which defy rigid boundaries of human–non-human, digital–physical,body–space and individual–collective relations. Such movidas allowus to imagine activism as a collective possibility of socio-politicalchange
