Let's talk about the "hardworking dad" narrative for a second.
Staying late at the office is easier than going home to a stressed partner and a toddler. The office is quiet. Nobody's crying. Your coffee stays hot.
And yet somehow the person who chose the easier option walks away with the reputation. Dedicated. Provider. Hard worker.
Meanwhile the other parent has been on since before sunrise. No lunch break. No praise. No one calling them employee of the month for keeping everything from falling apart.
Overtime isn't always ambition. Sometimes it's just the path of least resistance — and we've built an entire mythology around it.
Before we reward the long hours, it's worth asking who's picking up the slack at home to make them possible.

It seems to me a very unjust thing to take away a man’s life for a little money, for nothing in the world can be of equal value with a man’s life: and if it be said, “that it is not for the money that one suffers, but for his breaking the law,” I must say, extreme justice is an extreme injury: for we ought not to approve of those terrible laws that make the smallest offences capital, nor of that opinion of the Stoics that makes all crimes equal; as if there were no difference to be made between the killing a man and the taking his purse, between which, if we examine things impartially, there is no likeness nor proportion.
[Omnino mihi uidetur inquam pater benignissime homini uitam eripi propter ereptam pecuniam prorsus iniquum esse. Siquidem cum humana uita ne omnibus quidem fortunae possessionibus paria fieri posse arbitror. Quod si laesam iustitiam, si leges uiolatas, hac rependi poena dicant, haud pecuniam; quid ni merito summum illud ius, summa uocetur iniuria! Nam neque legum probanda sunt tam Manliana imperia, ut sicubi in leuissimis parum obtemperetur, illico stringant gladium; neque tam Stoica scita, ut omnia peccata adeo existiment paria, uti nihil iudicent interesse, occidatne aliquis hominem, an nummum ei surripiat, inter quae (si quicquam aequitas ualet) nihil omnino simile aut affine.]Thomas More (1478-1535) English lawyer, social philosopher, statesman, humanist, Christian martyr
Utopia, Book 1, ch. 1 “Discourses of Raphael Hythloday” (1518 ed.) [tr. Burnet/Morley (1901)]More about (and translations of) this quote: wist.info/more-thomas/84005/

“But there is another way of fighting for freedom without arms; we can fight with the mind…women of ability are held down because of a subconscious Hitlerism in the hearts of men.”
Virginia Woolf from her essay “Thoughts on Peace in an Air Raid,” referencing men favoring oppression of women over survival in the war against the Nazis.

https://www.postgraddiversitysummit.co.uk/summit2026
Trying to maintain a community of practice across UK Higher Education institutions to advance the access and success of minoritised students and postgraduate researchers isn’t easy but we are working hard on it.
We’ve managed to get the chief executive of Research England and the Director of Fair Access from the OfS to come and speak, so that in itself is a good sign.

On February 24th 2022, Russia brought war back to Europe after almost eight decades of peace. Its invasion of Ukraine has shattered all expectations of modern European powers resolving their problems peacefully, and brought NATO itself to the brink of full-blown war against Russia.

Intersectionality is a framework for understanding how various social and political identities overlap to create unique, compounded experiences of discrimination or privilege.

The party of free speech absolutists sure is in a twist over what people say.
Big, scary, words are grounds for stripping someone of their citizenship, they claim, blind to their own hypocrisy.
These snowflakes are void of words to respond, so they use violence, attacking people's rights and deporting them against their will.
