I went through the process last year, came through with change of job title and 70% of former FT job with additional teaching. It's taking me all of subsequent academic session to try to adjust, increased stress due to new contractual conditions. So far not succeeding terribly well!

Post image Hetan Shah, chief executive of the British Academy, said inequality was “the primary story of the pandemic”. “You still find that people from poorer backgrounds are more likely to have been impacted,” Shah said, adding that the rate of long Covid in the most deprived households is double that of the most wealthy.

I’m quoted on the front page of the Observer today. They are looking back at the effects of the pandemic five years on. I say that it is primarily a story of inequalities. The poorest, disabled, young people have suffered the fallout, but this is easy to overlook

The Microsoft authenticator app represents the absolute worst of progress in IT. There’s an evil to the mundane way it goes around fucking up your day in small but incredibly frustrating ways, over and over and over again

Don’t forget about tomorrow’s Take Down Tesla protests happening across the country! Since we launched the Elon boycott, Tesla’s stock has plummeted from over $400 to $262. Let’s keep the momentum going!
