just finished #AllMyWildMothers by Victoria Bennett πΌππΊπ§πΌββοΈ - what a beautiful, inspiring memoir. A perfect read for me at 6 months pregnant, wondering what kind of mother I'll be & what kind of world I want to create for my baby when it arrives. Will defs reread it near my due date πΏππ¦πΌ
It is hard to get on with the day when you get a message saying that four of your now tiny department Birkbeck: English are going to be sacked. Sackings euphemistically referred to as 'savings'. Looks more like losses to me: lost staff, expertise, hours, and hope.

A new π©message arrives from above: 4 of us need to resign, die or get sacked. Other departments are receiving their equivalents. So, we are at the depressing endgame that Birkbeck, University of London SMT have engineered. Awful.
