Fab poster spotted en route to #GCFHSResist fest last night. Of the event? Much festing, less so feasting - many bubbles. Karaoke ensued.

I thought there had been something like that? "To my faithful wife, who typed this up" uncovering the gendered labour of scholarly "genius" pr something? And I know for sure that Angela Wanhalla (Uni of Otago) has done work like this on Māori historiog

This I would have loved to see!

Ah cheers @smidbob.bsky.social that is unduly kind but also gave me the confiance for #GCFHSResist karaoke tonight! Vive Joplin... Who always gave flowers to the roots

I will not be replying to emails today. I am striking to protect the future of our education, and thus of our our students, children, and (knowledge) economy.

Let your voice be heard! Protest with us!

A small poster saying the location of the strike is the Domplein, and it starts at 10am.

I'm not feeling well so I'm missing the protest in #Utrecht today, but my email is on automatic reply saying I'm on strike, I won't work, and I'll be supporting my colleagues in spirit. These cuts are terrible and should not go ahead. #Nederland #HogerOnderwijs
