Email soliciting academic journal contributions.

This is what academia has come to.

Is this before or after they fire half of us in York?

You win though 😃

My paper on how L2 learners acquire English articles (a/the) is out now in Applied Psycholinguistics and is open access! 😃🥳🥳

Teaching uni students about resilience on Thursday.
Please give me your best takes on why the term resilience is problematic.

Do you want current teachers only?

Oh wow congratulations! 🥳 Yes handing them back is key.

Me too but with an actual toddler around we can’t both have a tantrum 😂

You can take the toddler approach to sleep, which is if napping is affecting their night sleep, you cap the nap. I know you’re not a toddler, but I still think some stuff remains similar as we grow up. But if capping doesn’t help night sleep, then nap away!

This is such an controversial topic and I faced a lot of judgement for taking antipsychotics in pregnancy (by choice) but guess what? I was mentally stable & well which meant my baby was well.

Dear teachers, I come to you to ask again that you please, please, please take the (roughly) 5 minutes it takes to complete my survey on what it says here, but more broadly aimed at improving mental health and wellbeing for children in schools. #EduSky york.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

This Women’s Day a shout out to all fellow boy mums who are working hard to raise a new generation of men that will respect women more and harm them less.

Of all students in the UK? I doubt you managed to get that sample.

Do you know if bilingualism also includes English as a foreign language or is simultaneous bilingualism preferred as a topic?

A similar language problem is happening with the word disabled. Hence why people keep saying disabled is not a dirty word. As someone with a disabling SMI, I can confirm that I HAVE Bipolar and AM disabled. But people should have a choice in how they describe themselves.

Sums it up well.

Why are men such creeps? Giving a lecture in a theatre mostly with floor to ceiling windows. This middle aged guy stops and starts staring at me and smiling. He probably thought it was endearing. I started looking back at him funny so he eventually left all angry. Totally disrupted my lecture 🤦🏻‍♀️

This is really nice. At the moment I mostly feel that most of us as academics make very little difference to students. It feels like a business.
(but hoping this negative feeling will pass)

Those of you in UK HE sector right now: a reminder that no matter how passionate you are - a job is a job. It might feel like you could never land anywhere else. You can, and will, should you need to. And wherever you end up, your new workplace will be lucky to have you.

Officially made the switch too! X has become unbearable.
