About

Experienced smart-arse and trouble maker with a successful track record in standing up for fairness against bullies, bigots and incompetent management. Highly skilled at exposing discrimination obscured by ambiguity, bureaucracy or complacency. Quite good at finding ways to make social justice warrioring financially viable. Quite bad at being on time. Outsources executive function to prioritise theorising, talking about and fighting for justice. If you want to 'pick my brain' on behalf of your employer, you need to pay TWIP or donate to Just Reasonable for my time, I do not offer pro bono services to organisations.
