What I've learned about #academia over these #UCUstrikes is that too many of us (& for sure I'm not immune!) value the "output" of our jobs over our colleagues we do it with.
Sure, we need to enjoy our job and feel it is making a difference; and we want our stuff read and engaged with - it's what gives us our worth. But the chronic alienation of contemporary academic work is a massive factor of the current ills, which we fundamentally need to address.

Sent in my #ucu ballot today. Regardless of how the #ucustrikes turn out and how the negotiations go, keeping the pressure up is essential to resist the further marketisation of #academia. Let's go

I wrote this post about my experience striking for the first time as an early career researcher

Despite the stress and unpleasantness, I've found immense inspiration in the strikes.

In advance of tomorrow's @ucu strike action, here's a blog post I've written about my reflections on striking. It's not fun, it's not easy, but it needs to be done.

@debruine I'm on strike too, as part of #UCUstrikes action to support another 'world class' part of our domestic infrastructure.

I haven't crossed digital or campus picket today but I find when I have a period of time to do nothing but think, I can't help ideas coming to me which promise breakthroughs at work - insights, new directions, problems solved, those kinds of thing. I note them down. And I think this makes our point: our uncontrollable workloads make many of us too strung out to be as thoughtful as these roles require. This is one of the messages we're trying to get across #ucuRISING #ucustrikes

Wonderful day of #strike & #solidarity in Brighton with lovely people & the next generation saying #enoughisenough & asserting our #rightostrike. #ucuRISING #UCUstrikes #NEU

Prize for best picket line banner! #ucuRISING #ucustrikes #ucuscotland #ucustrike

"Milions face disruption", what a disgraceful headline! 😠
Millions do face cuts in salaries, working conditions and pensions. That would be an accurate headline.

On the picket lines this morning -- defending our pensions and fighting for our wages! My dog, Rudi, is joining me and has defecated outside a prominent campus building. The ultimate protest!! #ucuRISING #ucurisingindefinitely #ucustrikes #UCUstrikeback
