  1. "Four legs good, two legs bad."

    On July 30, 2025, I sent a letter to the Board of Trustees of John Cabot University in Rome, concerning lecturers who, like the lower animals of a certain well-known farm, are kept on #precarious teaching-only contracts and yet pressured to produce unpaid #research for the greater good of #accreditation.

    To this day, the letter remains officially unacknowledged and is now in the public domain: tinyurl.com/ruat-caelum

  8. Perhaps later modules of the #COVID-19 #Inquiry report will ask to what extent #SocialDarwinist and #eugenicist politicians knowingly or intentionally crafted policy that widened inequality. Political leaders did not care about #disabled, #older, #deprived and financially #precarious people. They possibly committed #democide, accelerating deaths of people with high social welfare costs (and inadvertently causing even greater levels of long-term illness & unemployment).

  13. Humanity has never been so #displaced and so #precarious. 114 million people are displaced from their homes by #war and #violence.
    This is twice as high as the 40-60 million displaced by the second world war.

    "We cannot give up. With our partners, we will keep pushing for – and finding – solutions for #refugees."

  14. If you wonder why the #biennalearchitettura2023 #pavilion of the #Czech and the #Slovak republics in the #Giardini seems closed (it's under construction), with a scarse video presentation in front of it: The Czech exhibition "The Office for a Non-#Precarious Future" is being shown on #Arsenale, featuring the toxic working conditions in #architecture, with an important message to all (knowledge) workers: Organize, #unionize .

  17. @wilf @Mer__edith "I think it’s stunning that someone would say that the #harms [from "#AI"] that are happening now — which are felt most acutely by people who have been historically #minoritized: #Black people, #women, #disabled people, #precarious workers, et cetera — that those harms aren’t #existential.

    What I hear in that is, “Those aren’t existential to me.""

  18. Amazing work! A Firefox add-on that rates job ads based on credibility and security parameters reported by users (mostly informal young women) who help in spotting ads that hide #sexualexploitation, #precarious working conditions, or other bads.
