Header PictureThe image is a painting by Shyama Kuver with a vibrant red background w two clasped hands & features the Mariame Kaba quote “Let this radicalize you rather than lead you to despair” another text wraps under one palm that reads, “bodily autonomy for all”
AvatarA black & white photo of a white woman who is resting her head on her hand smiling with closed lips but with a dimple showing on the viewer’s left. The picture is only of the shoulders up. Her slightly wavy hair is hanging loose falling down out of frame.

#Strikes are powerful.
#Rutgers unions have worked hard to do the damn thing and have been a powerful example of solidarity.
And they just won:
48% pay increase for adjunct faculty by 2025
33% increase for TAs/GAs - $40,000 salary (in 25-26) (which whew! Yes!!!)
Presumptively renewable contracts for non-tenure track faculty!!!
Job security for adjunct faculty!!!!

This solidarity is/was beautiful & these wins are huge.

@profchander Y’all DID IT!!!! Congratulations!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

As a #cancer patient with a suppressed immune system it’s terrifying to be put among non-maskers, even with a respirator & a HEPA filter

Because it’s not just another COVID bout that could kill me.

In a world where a bit of math can pass as human on the internet, we are obliged to be more unpredictable, more chaotic.

Be the language model failure mode you want to see in the taco.

Who called it anxiety and not revenge of the nerves?
Also also, I somehow kicked that ankle - the outside part of the left one - with my right foot while I was standing around waiting for something to print at work tonight. I don’t know why Thursdays standing still at work are so perilous for my poor left ankle lately?!
So…whatever I did to my ankle two weeks ago is for sure worse than the sprain doctor & hoped it was, which we can now tell since that golfball swelling is down. Probably a lil ligament love twang. ALSO it’s WAY cranky about how I used it all active like during my Aikido testing yester. I oddly managed not to mention that part to doctor 👀
Really only 200 days away but that works out to two years. But I should be accurate.
