I see new 'feminist' acct: @TCDFFT Spewing hate in the name of the dead. Constance was extremely close to labour & suffrage activist sister Eva who w/ partner, Esther, wrote Urania - a radical journal which argued against gender distinctions & stated that 'sex is an accident.'

I've been junior lecturing 1st years for 3 years, each year students came to me under enormous pressure with mental health difficulties & I always tell them I wish they came to me sooner. I'm so proud of all of you. We want to help! Reach out any time! (i know that's easier said)

Not even a year ago I was convinced I wouldn’t get into uni because I wasn’t smart enough and then during my first year I struggled with depression, anxiety, an eating disorder and numerous other problems and came close to dropping out. Ya girl just passed first year 😭 !!!!!

2 weeks ago final year PhD students were told they would be getting a 6 month funding extension by @UKRI_News. We still have not received this extension or any other info. I haven't been paid since December. In my house we are now rationing food.

Asylum Seekers who are stuck in the limbo are uniting their voices to demand from govt their freedom from the life of this direct imprisonment which has reached its peak point during this pandemic Lockdown. We deserve the freedom from unseen shackles and chains. @DeptJusticeIRL
