Do you say ‘ice lolly’ or ‘lolly ice’ where you live? An international group of researchers, including @grbails from @UoYLangLing, has found southern dialects are spreading across the UK - but the North is pushing back.

Reading the news coverage of the @UCU #FourFights strike, I get the impression that many people don’t know what University lecturers do (and why would they?), so here’s a thread on it. I’m a psychologist, so let’s start with the work of the average psychology lecturer. 🧵👇1/18

I joined #USS 8 years ago. Was told I'd get 17k a year in retirement-not rich but comfortable. These cuts plus inflation mean by the time I'm 80 I'll get 9k a year. I've just been told my heating bill will be 3k this year. I'm not sure people realise just how catastrophic this is

This was painful to be part of. When the establishment lines up to protect itself, right becomes wrong, up becomes down, reason goes out of the window. What happened today was utterly appalling: the worst I've experienced on the JNC. I'll write more at some point. #USSmess
BREAKING: The Universities Superannuation Scheme Joint Negotiating Committee has today formally voted to implement cuts to future #pension benefits for tens of thousands of UK university sector staff.
