Lucky enough to save on an HE precarious contract? You don't have savings but Living-Later-Funds. Money for: the summer when your 9 month teaching contract lapses; when hourly paid teaching doesn't cover bills; or when your work dries up but colleagues are overworked. #ucuRISING

This week 80% of the meetings I’ve attended have included biscuits ❤️ But I’ve realised the 20% that didn’t were led by me. It’s been a stark wake up call that’s for sure.
