It's only me desperately trying to write a job spec for a job I may never have the money for AND a conference presentation because the conference is 2 days after I get back from holiday. In related news we bought our kids an actual typewriter this summer and it's been a hit.

About to start a new R project to analyse the data my students collected. Here's hoping their analysis was right, because it was pretty interesting!
The leaders of Lambeth, Hackney, Haringey, Lewisham, Southwark & Waltham Forest councils made a joint commitment to keep their services “inclusive" and ignore the EHRC guidance on single-sex spaces for women. The new Manchester Mayor has adopted the same position. They all intend to break the law.
Local councils must obey the law of the land on trans rights
Women’s sex-based rights and their very existence as a sex class have been under attack for years

How do we measure gender distress? My colleague Kat and her supervisor are trying to do it better. They need any and all UK adult participants to try their questionnaire and tell them which questions are weird! oxfordxpsy.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...

"Parents! Are you getting fed up? Throwing away your life interacting with your children when you could be profitmaxxing? When you could be proteinmaxxing? Consider: What do children bring to the table, besides sticky fingers? Forget networking! They don’t know anyone" A funny (prophetic?) article!

They don't just employ ivory tower academics, they employ administrators, caterers, cleaners, electricians, plumbers, gardeners, caretakers, medical staff, etc etc etc. By closing a university you're not just punishing the academic elite. You're punishing a glorious cross-section of society.
It’s a merry go round of our need for ss spaces, them claiming transwomen are women, us claiming no they’re not, them telling us we’re fascist, bigoted, nazis, us saying we only want a few boundaries, they say we’re gate keeping womanhood, we say no, they scream & act like angry men. Rinse & repeat.
Astonishing admission from Greater Manchester Police today that they failed to examine Jihad al-Shamie's phones after arresting him in February and September last year If they had looked, they would have found evidence of him planning a terror attack before he struck the Heaton Park synagogue
