1 year since our marking strike, our colleagues are still being replaced. Casual UvA is organizing a demonstration as a first expression of our continuing frustrations. This demonstration is for those who are unfamiliar with our struggle and who wish to learn. See you all there!

What a great day to follow up on my reluctant resolution to give active Twitter a try despite son-of-apartheid-mine-owner-selfmade asshole! Personally lucky of having done enough Twitter research stuff to feel fed up with it already, but who is gonna tell my students? #twitterapi
