A point @annakornbluh.bsky.social has frequently made about labor intensification is that colleges cut support staff, offload essential work that support staff did onto faculty, then wonder why faculty aren’t being as “productive.” What once took our Asst. Dir. an hour, easily takes me twice that.

TUV + DUP politicians were on BBC radio blaming the horrific attack in Belfast on an "alien culture". When there are e.g. racist attacks on the Shankill, politicians from those same parties always make the point that only the individuals involved are to blame and not representative of a community

US media keeps using the phrase “heightened tensions with Cuba” to describe what is in reality unilateral US aggression, with illegal sanctions and threats of illegal invasion, against innocent people who repeatedly say they just want to be left alone.

“The idea that squeezing a tiny elite of billionaires will pay for everything is fantasy and we do need to expose that.” Good job no one’s ever actually said that - including me. So why is Labour again repeatedly lying to avoid taxing the super-rich? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

Zack Polanski offering voters fantasy solutions, says head of Fabian Society

Joe Dromey, head of the Labour thinktank, urges his party to take on the ‘twin populisms’ of Reform UK and the Greens

The attacks on trans rights, which are basic human rights, are a terrible injustice and an attack on truth and fact as well. Everyone should be deeply alarmed and it should be disqualifying for a politician to support such discrimination.

Another significant Modern Languages department under threat. What does it say about current arrangements that learning about other cultures is being systematically devalued and disallowed?

The Association of Hispanists of Great Britain and Ireland@hispanists-ahgbi.bsky.social · 11mo ago
