Dr Matilda Fitzmaurice@matildaf.bsky.social · 3mo agoHi #UCU. l wrote a response to Lorna Finlayson's latest NLR piece, 'Irreversible'. It's from the heart as a precarious academic, a trade unionist and, frankly, someone who thinks the climate change metaphor used in the original piece is unhelpful and damaging. ucucommons.org/we-shouldnt-...

i've already ranted about this elsewhere but i'll rant here too: people who talk about AI "inevitability" or say "people doubted electricity, cars etc." too and call us Luddites - what I am saying is that maybe we actually ought to embrace thinking things through before we remake society around them

Kathleen Stock takes umbrage at my argument that feminists should be 'pro-immigration'. Yes, I do believe that if you call yourself a feminist but you are prepared to strip refugee and migrant women of their rights
