I'm unsure about how the word 'feminism' is getting thrown around in this article. I can call a circle a triangle all I want, but at the end of the day it's still a circle.

Oh my god it's the drama I can't handle. A notable anecdote for me was when one randomly shone a strobe light at me. I'm epileptic.

Have you thought about how people would pay for it for the writing/blogs of deceased loved ones?

The business is definitely there, a lot of art students have to turn their digital blogs and documents into physical books too for exhibitions

If you search for legal help with bad glassdoor reviews, most legal firms even advise not to go after glassdoor through the courts.

There's a lot of problems like this in the UK along the England/Wales border. Postcodes only roughly correlate to other administrative sub-divisions but this nuance gets lost in some computer systems and there are massive administrative differences across the Wales/England border, including student finance rules, access to healthcase and so on.

Sounds like you're looking for a secretary rather than a manager

Definitely looks that way in the UK - I've been watching my local housing market like a hawk because I'm looking to buy soon. Houses are staying listed a lot longer, a fair few getting reduced, and newer listings are coming in at more reasonable prices (as much as over £100k is reasonable for a 1 bed flat miles into poverty stricken suburbia).

I think people are feeling more risk adverse cost of living etc and want to hold onto money and stay put where they are.

Same to be honest. I can't imagine baiting anyone into something like this. One of the things you learn when you get more experience with the legal system is when, why, and how to avoid engaging with the legal system.

In the EU you're probably looking at the equivalent of $300 on average for a letter like this, and you're more likely to have the disposable income available to do it.

Something like this you can easily do yourself and imo wouldn't be worth the money, however getting a law firm involved in small tasks is a good way to test them with something simple to see if they're any good, and build up a working relationship with one incase you need them for something more serious or time sensitive later on. It's generally a good life skill to get comfortable working with lawyers because at some point all of us will end up in a situation where we need one, and that's really not the point at which you want to deal with that learning curve.

I think having some sort of regular wage hit my bank account over 24 months instead of 2 years of savings would have made a lot of pyschological difference. Not seeing a number go down like a timer takes the pressure off.

UK potentially

The health of the student union is a very good litmus test for the culture of the university. Anyone looking to study at university in the UK should check out the student union and try to gauge how independent it is from the institution and whether they're actually active as a union or just an extension of the university's student experience department.

Can you find out much about the history of the SU at the intitution?

The names of previous people elected into officer positions?

What sort of jobs do those people have now?

Do you get a feeling like they might have used the officer roles to maneuver into those jobs rather than to actually advocate for students? (hint: SU Officers doing their jobs properly will be in conflict with faculty staff and see the worst of the institution, and therefore are not very likely to want to hang around after graduation)

Are multiple officers taking credit for the same achievement (campaign, event, milestone)?

Is there a good spread across demographics among the officers?

Do they get training? What do they say about their training?

What's going on on their social media? Does it feel like it's being used to market the university?

Artists are more likely to deal with cash because a lot of the way they operate is way more similar to (or often, idenitical to) the local handyman or emergency plumber or marketstall holder than the concept of 'artist' pushed on us through the media (although that isn't necessarily a myth, just very much not the norm and a sort of absolutely minute spin-off of the whole industry).

They also do a lot of negotiating and haggling. Art as a business can get quite complicated financially even at low levels of income so we end up back at the whole thing about how at a basic level budgetting is easy if you physically have the money in front of you

This is really interesting - I wonder how much the set-up of someone's compensation package correlates with how much someone is willing to go back to the office. Mine's almost exclusively performance based and so I tend to want to work from home. The people going into work getting antsy about other people not being there are people who treat work more like a hobby or have a more basic pay structure. I actually prefer being in the office but we're in a sort of death spiral of the place having turned into a social hub and me feeling like I'm being left to babysit people at my own expense.

This is definitely a thing I've observed (marginalised groups being missed out of the photos). Why weren't they able to make it? Was it because they were only asked last minute? Is it because they keep getting cut out the loop? Some sort of passive protest? A deliberately awkward schedule?
