"I work 6 out of 7 days, in fact today is my day off"

“All day, every day, therapist, mother, maid
Nymph, then virgin, nurse, then a servant
Just an appendage, live to attend him
So that he never lifts a finger
24/7 baby machine
So he can live out his picket-fence dreams
It's not an act of love if you make her
You make me do too much labour”

On this #PrimoMaggio #FestaDeiLavoratori, I wish to celebrate my #FreeLabour for #HigherEducation and #CriticalThinking:

I earn less than £100 a year since it was published #OpenAccess in 2022, yet it has many (inter)national citations and took me 10 years to conceive, research, & publish - that was my choice, but also my ideology and contribution to decolonising academic communication

What Makes Writing Academic

This open access book argues that what makes writing academic emerges from socio-academic and historical practices rather than conventionalised stylistic, lingu…

Amongst the many consequences of #AcademicPrecarity are the effects on academic planning:

expert talks & invited speakers may no longer be available due to contract terminations and overall #GoodWill simply running out of steam, the same good will that so much of #academia relies on.

I speak from a position of relative current privilege and from very many years of being on #FixedTermContracts - there is a heck of a lot of #FreeLabour in academia, permanent or not.

Not the same as paying your #reviewers but it's more than other journals do....

#Student #interns work for free in #Belgium!

The largest amount of #internship hours are done in social and health sectors, where #FreeLabour is exploited. And #women are the majority of the workers in these sectors. It’s urgent to recognize and pay interns’ work!

Something else: adopt the #HackingLicense http://www.tesio.it/documents/HACK.txt

The choice is:

- let #Google exploit your work as #FreeLabour, or
- force Google to pay to compete with you but starting from scratch

Never let the bully get what they want.
