It’s going to be a great day. Working from home. Email responder advises I’m N/A - on a writing day. Mid day exercise break will be to ride to the beach for a swim. #lifeisgood Image
Ok so the good day just turned into a great day because the deadline for the special issue is not any longer in two weeks, but TWO MONTHS. Christmas came early.
Update: writing going so well (because of course, pressure’s off, you’d think I’d learns but..) that I haven’t gone out yet. Someone tell me to walk away for 45 mins and be good to myself please.

@leetweetsmedia Dare I say, a recognition of what the @ilo deems decent work.
It is high time that cultural labour scholars lock in to the bigger labour movement debates to square the circle. The CCIs are full of prototypical atypical workers. We have a lot to add to the global discussion.
@leetweetsmedia @ilo And cultural labour scholars would be well served by locking into the same.
@leetweetsmedia @ilo The arts and CCIs labour force are workers. If we want to understand this as scholars then we need to reach across disciplinary boundaries and do real work on unpicking problems. Let's start here:.../

Hey @PrimeVideo this is an ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE DECISION. This is one of the most interesting and creative shows I've seen lately. Genuinely excellent and I watch a lot of TV. Professionally. Tell em, Twitter, how much you love Three Pines.
Sorry folks, but this is more evidence that making the "business case" for diversity is a total waste of time. The problem isn't ignorance. It's racism, sexism, homophobia (++++) in the c-suite.
The show was NUMBER ONE ffs. Don't get a better business case than that.
I've said it before and I'll say it again for all the neoliberal activists: you can't solve a social problem with a market rationale.
Full stop. (ironic prime video gif use intentional.)

Today I sent a tweet about my workplace that went viral. Thanks to everyone who made that happen. So now that I have your attention, let's chat, shall we? Bear with me.
I am a highly educated white woman with a permanent full time job in the academy. I have a GOOD JOB. My job never puts me in danger as a matter of course. I am paid to think, and teach, for a living. I take this very seriously, as do most of my colleagues. Ideas matter.
I spend a lot of time thinking about the world of work. Work defines our lives - both paid and unpaid. Who does the work, and when, matters. Work is racialised, gendered, and classed, for starters. Meritocracy is utter bullshit..../

While diversity tax credits seem like a good policy move on the surface, evidence demonstrates that if they function as incentives to hire already marginalised equity-seeking groups, they will not fix The Problem. Why?/...
Because further discounting the value of under-valued talent does ZIP ZERO to increase their industry capital. In fact, it reinscribes the idea that they are less worthy. #policyfail /....
We all know tax credits are widely ‘gamed’ for advantage. This is not new. Who the object of the ‘game’ is matters and has economic, political and social consequences/....

Attention @wadekelly @drheatherj and all my other expat friends. Our country needs us. It’s time to heed the call of the moose. The antler signals are in the sky.

(S/o to @warrenstaples for this gem.)
Let us never forget this brilliant moose moment by our American colony:
