If you haven't already, say hello to @ejisbisa.bsky.social - welcome!!!

I’m striking today in opposition to planned £140m cuts at the University of Edinburgh. Less than three years ago, I left the University of Roehampton after all the academics in my School were sent letters telling us we were being put at risk of redundancy.

Attending our meet the editors event this week with @therealisthom.bsky.social and @ritafloyd.bsky.social will give you key tips on how to get your work into journals! #bisa2025 check our programme to find the events - conference.bisa.ac.uk/sites/defaul...

Vandals wrecked it so you better check it — a great paper on the many ontological securities of a single iconic tree.

New @risjnl.bsky.social podcast episode is out. Here, Dahlia Simangan talks to Seb Kaempf about those seminal RIS articles that have focussed and driven research on the topic of peacebuilding. Please tune in here: www.buzzsprout.com/2395572/epis... @mybisa.bsky.social @therealisthom.bsky.social

And Soumita Basu will be lurking in the audience WWE style!

Speaking from a rink, natch. And does he look a little leaner and meaner already or is it just that Calder glow? GoHabsGo

First up we have our social media coordinator, Lauren Rogers! BISA is a great conference for early career scholars to test out new work and get feedback. Lauren's paper was later published in our sister journal, @ejisbisa.bsky.social. 📄 👉 buff.ly/3cfMh8d

Mischaracterised by university leaders as financial ‘saving’, austerity is in truth vandalism.

#GoHabsGo better was better than the #AllCaps better for much of the series, just got goalied, refereed, and couple bounces. Full marks to the rebuild.

This speech is the We didn’t start the fire of our times

The idea that cutting student migration will make you more popular is utter nonsense. Voters are in *favour* of student migration! They're not in favour of universities collapsing and cities turning into economic basket cases! Give me strength. 😡

#Allcaps Head. Hunting. Enabled by the National League. Only team playing hockey is #gohabsgo

🚨New First View Article🚨 "Film, narrative agency, and the politics of care in veteran Britain" by Nick Caddick , Sarah Bulmer, Katie Davies, David Jackson, James Duggan and Shreepali Patel is now available online first! 📄 ➡️ buff.ly/L3LCFKW

Dude was head-hunting all night, as was Ovi, and why shouldn't they when the refs haven't penalized them for much of anything all series (see cross-checks to face 1, 2, and 3)? Makes #allcaps half-dozen embellishments in game 4 all the more pathetic. #gohabsgo

Members are upset angry and frankly, absolutely disgusted by behaviour of management. We do not accept nor agree with the way management are approaching the current situation. Management need to stop targeting, stop redundancies, and negotiate on workload, health and safety, equality and precarity.

Give the #Caps credit — they’ve realized they can’t play with Montreal at 5v5, and their PK is bad, so they’re embellishing left right and center, clutching and grabbing wherever possible, and any other shenanigans to slow Montreal down. Paper tiger. #gohabsgo

NHL officiating needs no help embarrassing itself but the #WashingtonCapitals are making these refs look like amateurs with their diving

#Caps didn’t score a single goal that the refs weren’t directly involved in. What a travesty. #gohabsgo were playing against two teams.

#Caps looked like a team un-used to adversity.

Alexeev deserved that non-high stick #caps #gohabsgo

Hard not to love this team #gohabsgo

NHL refs really distinguishing themselves tonight. Just a travesty.

Really looking forward to this! In 2 days time, join us if you can! (registration required) @edinburghpir.bsky.social

The Time Team is going to Bologna! @malteriemann.bsky.social, @palestrinomirko.bsky.social, @therealisthom.bsky.social, Maria Mälksoo, Norma Rossi, and yours truly will deliver a cracking panel on ‘Temporal Security in IR’. Ciao ragazzi.

Montreal is the only city right now to have a team qualified for the NHL, AHL, and PWHL playoffs.

Are you kidding me #demidov #gohabsgo

I wish more universities appreciated this play & acted accordingly. Even if you throw international students & colleagues under the bus, the attacks won't end until US academia is fully destroyed or completely capitulates. So if morality won't compel you to find your voice, maybe self-interest will.

Another day wasted when university presidents & chancellors could have been in front of microphones. The total lack of loud public collective action condemning this & explaining to Americans why this is a complete disaster is utterly maddening. bsky.app/profile/mcop...

Kidnapping. Capturing a person against their will without due process is called kidnapping. Transporting them to another country without due process is called human trafficking. A squalid extrajudicial prison for people found guilty of no crime is called a concentration camp.

What a turn of events from ... yesterday. Boooooom! #gohabsgo

Hoping someone asks Patrick Roy for reaction to lengthy game stoppage for Ovi 895, when #Isles are chasing a playoff spot. And then to see how big the #nhl fine is.

He’s a bad bad rookie

Hard not to!

My favorite signs from the #handsoff protest posts today. A thread.

Ovi just marginally faster than Gretz to 894 but waaaay faster to embracing fascism. #NHL

Moreover, if you can send Kristi Noem to this prison to shoot S&M- themed propaganda, you can get someone out of it. They don’t want to. Because they love this. They love being the people who arrest innocent immigrants in front of their children and then send them to a prison to be tortured.

Don't miss out our next PIR Event 👇

Bend the knee, pay the price. (I attended Columbia for a semester and loved it.)

Tim Walz: I think the biggest myth perpetuated on this country is that Donald Trump understands business. He’s bankrupted every one he’s been into, and now he’s bankrupting this country. #Econsky
