They’re not “killing” your club. Reading have been on the brink for the last 3 years. Coventry had to play home games in other towns/cities for multiple seasons. Derby nearly went out of business 3 years ago. Birmingham spent several years not knowing who actually owned the club. West Brom had to take out loans just to keep the lights on at the club. Wednesday have an owner constantly undermining success with bizarre comments and not paying bills on time. Blackburn have had two managers leave in a year because of a lack of ambition. Cardiff are in £100m worth of debt. Fans of the “big 6” clubs are so out of touch.

Publishing with Integrity @fake_journals

Who reviewed this paper? A few days ago @gcabanac tweeted about a paper that had published a remark that it had been forced to cite irrelevant papers. You can see the tweet here: buff.ly/3UMIguf. We remarked that if it was not so serious, it would be funny. Since reading that tweet, we have not been able to get it out of our head, so we thught that we would document it in a little more detail. We are doing this for three reasons. 1️⃣ In our view, it descerves more detail to be made available. 2️⃣ We'd like these details to be be kept as a matter of public record, so we are posting similar posts on our X account and our LinkedIn account. 3️⃣ It should be of interest to this community, so we hope that this raises even further the ethical issues around this topic. The first image shows the paper that we are looking at. What is interesting is the text that appears on at the end of the introduction (highlighted in red). This appears to show that the reviewer insisted that a set of 13 papers be cited, else they would not accept the paper. It would be interesting to see the review repport, so that we could be certain what had been said. If you want to see the paper, it is available here: buff.ly/4fndXm0 In the rest of this 🧵, we show the papers that have been asked to be cited (i.e. [35]-[47]). These have been taken from the paper mentioned above. You'll notice (as we have highlighted it) that every paper is "et al." meaning, of course, that there are quite a few authors on each paper. Gicven that we cannot see all the authors, the other images on this 🧵 shows the full set of authors on each of these 13 papers. We leave it an an exercise for the reader to hazard a guess as to the reviewr is?

I've found out that my grant got cut because I posted a video of me standing up out of my wheelchair on social media. They used my public facing social media, which I use to awareness to the fact that people have varying conditions, to push me out of work. I am actually in pieces

Absolutely no words. @DWPgovuk have cut my support dramatically (both hours and pay). I now cannot do my job. Please help me stay in work. Even if it's just sharing to make a noise. gofund.me/5e5b7b0c *Having to take a lil time off for mh, be back soon*

Let’s not be classist/ableist when condemning far-right riots. Racism isn’t a “working class trait”. It’s woven into the fabric of our society and comes from the top. One of the few things that has trickled down. But it doesn’t have to be this way - we can build a better world.

Trans people and their advocates have been saying for years that transphobia will easily be weaponized against cis and intersex women who don't conform to trad femininity, threatening all women in the process. And that's exactly what is happening

@LeftieStats Kier Starmer's Labour are transphobic. In other news, water is wet.

Reminder, again: there is NO definition of "real woman" that doesn't harm cis women, as well as trans women. Transphobia can never be feminist. And as always, forever; trans women are women.

Please remember, it would also be okay if she WAS trans.

@DrLiuCao Cosmetic reasons! This sounds like outright xenophobia. If you don't need a native English speaker to proofread for language reasons (which I completely believe) then you don't need a native English speaker full stop. What crap.

Starmer's Labour have enough majority that they don't need worry about their more left-wing MPs & voters, or about the approx 4 mil votes they lost to Green & Lib Dem (more than Reform cost them) but placating the right from the centre does not work... so time to cut it out.

The silencing of victims in academia is rampant, vicious, and staring every one of us in the face. Delyth and Erin's experience is one of so many examples of this, and the whole UK university system hasn't even begun to acknowledge how bad the problem is.

In March last year @ErinPritchard15 & i edited a book & it was published. Today, it is now unpublished, it has been silenced &we have received a reversion of rights. Im proud of this collection, of everyone who wrote a chapter, the bravery of every single author. We will be back.
