BREAKING: government’s decision to proscribe Palestine Action under terrorism law ruled UNLAWFUL

This matters for everyone.

For years, the right to protest has been under sustained and deliberate attack.

Thousands of people have been arrested for something that should have never been a crime.

When silence turns into complicity

🚨 Following the murder of protesters and widespread arbitrary detentions in the USA, ICE cannot be allowed in Europe.

We are calling for an immediate travel ban on all ICE agents.

This is now urgent following reports ICE will police the Winter Olympics in Italy 🚨

Who would’ve thought? 🤪

No it’s very rare these days, and certainly in these amounts! Hence the 1999 feeling

We had 14 inches of snow last week! We were partying like it was 1999 …

So who’s next, Aristotle, Copernicus, Spinoza, Montesquieu, Descartes, Darwin, Hawking?

Newbie but yeah

Volgens de politie trok de demonstratie op de Dam tegen de bezuinigingen in het hoger onderwijs zo'n 7500 mensen. Heel geslaagd dus. Enig minpunt (of ligt dit aan mij?) is dat ik onze bestuurders iig niet heb gezien. (En dit is toch echt meer jullie werk dan het onze hè?) #WOinActie

Pretty good turnout! #WOinActie #stopdesloop #againstHEbudgetcuts

Please join us today in central Amsterdam to protest the destruction of our Higher Education institutions! Start at 12 noon at the Dam

Learning is not something one can consume. It is something one has to work on/for. And the university is there to help and to certify.

Executive Excess 2025 CEO pay and stock buybacks have soared at the 100 largest low-wage corporations.

Once again, EE2025 highlights how executives bring home excessive pay relative to those at the coal face in all sectors.

It’s mind numbing to say the least! When I travel/stay somewhere for the EU they give me a decent per diem. But my uni wants me to spend 4 working hours to submit receipts from a 5-day trip …

Very good

Presenting our paper comparing the HRD perspectives of employees, managers and HRD practitioners, at the Asian AHRD Conference in Bangkok Thailand! Differences found esp. between employees vs. managers and HRD practitioners, although the latter two also differed from each other in several ways #ahrd

Happy to be back in Bangkok for the Asian AHRD Conference! Anyone else on BlueSky attending? #ahrd #AsianAHRD #ufhrd #UFHRDconference #BangkokConference

Yes, some of those books (and dozens of articles) I wrote, so bring it on!

Did you say ‘taste’ there Sarah? Moo ha ha ha

BREAKING. The New York Times is reporting the White House is planning to demolish the entire Eastwing of the White House.

Molto bene!

Please let this NOT be the future of academic work! Or is it too late to stop this nonsense already?

I joined a quarter million people in Amsterdam to draw a red line for our far-right government to make them stop Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Not in my name!

In the Netherlands it’s not (yet) quite as bad, but academia worldwide has become founded on abusing people’s honest drive and passion big time

Happy birthday, Jamie
