From Monday (tomorrow) up to and including Thursday unionised staff from the #UniversityOfAmsterdam are on #strike over the university's executive boards' unwillingness to cut (or even pause) ties with Israeli academic institutions.
For more information see https://fnv.nl/uva
Keep track of this thread for updates and details about the strike.

Ok. I would say the main question should be "are there sufficiently accessible alternatives to the usage of Twitter in the communication between companies and customers?"
I guess in practice, at least in Europe, there are often multiple ways to reach out to companies? (Twitter, contact form etc.) So in that sense it makes sense?
But the fact that Twitter is also used (much more) to share memes should not matter?
(Disclaimer: I haven't looked into this case in too much detail).
Carbon is the work of the devil.
Last Friday, during a class about the short and long term organic #carbon cycle, a student raised his hand:
"So, 6 protons, 6 neutrons, and 6 electrons...", 666....carbon must be the work of the devil."
Maybe this can help us sell carbon neutrality to religious conservatives.
@HexesofVexes Last year students were blocking that very bridge to protest the university's response to Israel's violence in Palestine. They should have know that they were being accompanied by this paleo-force of resistance.

I'm sure people will be wearing their most radical underwear tomorrow.
