"Many people working in academia find it difficult to achieve or maintain a good work-life balance."

Academics are not special snowflakes -people in tech, med & others have a hard time fulfilling their job's demands. We need agency in the world outside of work.

My fiancé has just told me that he received a letter a few days ago saying that the Crown Prosecution Service intend to go ahead with bringing him to trial for his involvement with sign holding in Parliament Square in support of #PalestineAction It is is obvious to us that these letters are being sent out to quell the disruption of April 11th

I am pledged to the people of Palestine and free speech xxx

Earlier today, I read of some idiotic 'smart', wifi-equipped rangehood fan. I thought it was BS. No!
There are actually *many* of these for sale all over the place!
Check out this wonderful dishwasher too -- I think it just needs more A'I' - don't you?

@MelissaBearTrix Almost all the time. Often I really need it to understand the context or to know what I'm actually seeing. Sometimes to check if I missed anything important. Sometimes just because I'm curious.

On the subject of water, we just need a law that the Board of Directors of the water company must each drink a glass of randomly selected river water at each Board Meeting.

The Romans used to require that their bridge builders slept under each new bridge. The Chinese used to require CTOs of aircraft lines to take their own flights. Same principle.
