10 We CAN change the system and make academia a better place. I have hope now for the first time in ages. Over and out. #UCULivesBack

Feeling pretty happy about my #UCUStrikesBack and #UCULivesBack efforts today. Joined my @BeOurHope comrades on the pickets, had my hair done, and about to have an extremely large fry up and gallons of tea.
