Ah, yes, because all the other cuts have proven so spectacularly successful in stabilising the university.

I am not invested in the left as a briar patch of subcultures. I am invested in the left as an ecosystem of political projects, many of which have overlapping interests and concerns. These approaches are not interchangeable and are sometimes diametrically opposed.

Dünya halklarının bu alçağı ve bunun gibileri bertaraf edecek bir yol bulamamaları, insanlığın bu çağdaki en büyük utancıdır! #warcriminal

"History will judge-" let me stop you right fucking there, history doesn't do fucking shit, I'm a historian, let's be clear here: elected officials need to do their fucking jobs, right now, before it happens, or future historians will judge THEM. Everyone knows and knew who Trump was.

The FBI is “proactively” identifying “domestic terrorists,” including anyone with critical views on “capitalism,” “Americanism,” “Christianity,” “migration,” “race,” “gender,” and “family.” Essentially, every single Bluesky user. www.kenklippenstein.com/p/fbis-new-p...

‘None of us are free until all of us are free’: Introducing collective liberation as a praxis-oriented framework and concept into social psychology New from @schreiber-julia.bsky.social @yarazebian.bsky.social & @metesefauysal.bsky.social bpspsychub.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

In Turkey, there's no dramatic war to keep the world interested. Just a slow descent into darkness -- at least in regard to media coverage -- while many experienced reporters leave the country one after another. Journalist Hannah Lucinda Smith, describes it well: engelsbergideas.com/essays/istan...

This is so, so well-articulated.

Great work by @metesefauysal.bsky.social leading this well-cited paper. bpspsychub.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

People just haven't tuned into how bad this could go for the EU and UK. Reality hasn't quite hit them yet.

Universities spend £££ to attract & retain what they allege are the best senior managers who then spend more on paying consultants. Those consultants sell the same solutions to multiple institutions. = cuts to staff who make universities work Spend the money on staff www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03...

Solidarity to all our colleagues at Heriot-Watt, also on strike today to say no to compulsory redundancies.

We’ll be gathering outside the Tower Building this morning from 10-11am to ask why the University of Dundee is continuing with Jon cuts and forecasting redundancies. Anyone can join us to support this peaceful rally. Front of the Tower Building, 10-11am. #NoMoreJobCuts #SaveDundeeUni #SaveHE

The is the federal government telling news stations to provide favorable coverage of the war or their licenses will be pulled. A truly extraordinary moment. We aren't on the verge of a totalitarian takeover. WE ARE IN THE MIDDLE OF IT. Act like it.

We will take strike action next week unless the University rules out compulsory redundancies. The executives we have lost confidence in continue to forecast the need for another £20m of savings. All from staff losses. We’ve already lost over 600 colleagues. When will the job cuts end?
