I was woken up today by a phone call letting me know that due purely to budgeting changes I’ve been let go from my full-time contracting position I just started in January after being laid off in September.

I am a former #Apple #engineer with 15 years of experience making apps for #iOS and #macOS. I also have experience with #Ruby. Available immediately for full time or contract work.

Please boost. #Swift #RubyOnRails

OK, so the Alt-Right regime at the BBC has cancelled a 96 year old national treasure. THE national treasure. Lifelong naturalist and broadcaster, who introduced most of the country to a love for the natural world in their childhoods. For the capital crime of a nature program covering damage to ecosystems. In the final series of his lifetime of service

Remind me, which side of the political spectrum does cancel culture? 🤬

Alan Shearer: "I have informed the BBC that I won’t be appearing on MOTD tomorrow night."

Please complain to the #BBC about their treatment of #GaryLineker we can inundate them with complaints - make their behaviour not his the issue

Here’s an idea.
If you don’t want to be called a fascist or a Nazi…
- don’t vilify and criminalise asylum-seekers
- don’t plan to detain and deport them
- don’t defend far-right violent protests against them
- don’t breach their human rights
- don’t defy the Refugee Convention.

I think the BBC maybe just needs to have a word with itself instead. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-64883655

I have just REJECTED UCEA's latest pay offer - check your email and do the same.

I am on strike today.

And I will vote YES in the reballot.

University bosses can and must do better. #UCURising #UCU #ENOUGHISENOUGH #NationalDayofAction

Well done that student on C4 news just now (Esmee McGann?) for steadfastly supporting striking university staff, and turning the blame instead ro a decade of austerity and the increasing commercialisation of higher education.
#UCUStrike #UCURising #Academics #Universities #HigherEducation

Just a wee reminder following the first of many @ucu strike days to come:

Back your union - reject UCEA's pay offer ✊🏽
