“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

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.
#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!
👉 You can sign the #petition of the local student #union here: https://change.org/salaire-stagiaires
Something else: adopt the #HackingLicense http://www.tesio.it/documents/HACK.txt
As an alternative, stay with #AGPLv3.
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.
