In a moment of distress my 10 year old wailed about how unfair it was that she had to be born "at the end of things". I can't get this out of my head. She means climate catastrophe, species collapse. My post academic admin plan is to become an eco-warrier.

People seem also to forget that people on the poverty line or below it have very limited access to transport, which also adds to food cost. So cheaper in Aldi sure, but add on bus fare and it’s not any more - esp if you include time taken

So the last thing that happened before everythingwenttoshit™️ was that I became an Irish citizen. “Don’t touch anybody” we were told. Everyone laughed. It was a moving day for me - hoping that many more new citizens will be able to join me in 2021 🇮🇪

I am starting to get quite annoyed about govt and media discussing overseas travel as if holidays are the main issue. 17% of Ireland’s population is foreign born, meaning that they have a primary relative that they probably won’t see in 2020. 1/2

I attended the funeral mass of my next door neighbour of nearly 20 years. She was born in the house; she was 83. She cared for her mother and then her brother; didn't marry, no children. But this woman had the most extraordinary gift for friendship: 1/3

This is someone who just erased all traces of my mother from the house she lived in and loved for 47 years to put it up for sale. It’s life, and we all have to do it. I’m not looking for sympathy - she had a good life in that house and now I hope someone else will too

Shortage of teachers - many factors - I do think it’s a bit disingenuous not to mention the cost of the two year PME which leaves most NQTs with about a €15k debt. This was previously a much cheaper 1 year HDip

this is not just a trinity problem - seriously the inequalities within academia are shocking - so many at the top end overpaid (yep, me). Saying this is like farting in public. I’m good at my job but I’m not better at it than hourly paid precarious staff. Far from it
So, how is this precariously employed academic at

I accept all the access arguments about virtual conferences but after 5 days of it I can say: it kills spontaneity (few jokes, few off the cuff remarks); hard to gauge response from black squares of doom; you really have to go out of your way to comment later on papers 1/2

I know there’s little option and I’m ok with lectures online, but I don’t want to teach online. It goes against everything I believe in and care about as a teacher. The battle will be to make sure this is temporary.
