Our #garden is pretty incredible! Much of it was established at LEAST 50+ years ago. It’s both a solemn duty and pleasure to be the current caretakers. #gardening

6/ People are tired of the drama, the bullshit, the moral indignation over small differences. This is the moment we can have a culture shift if people speak up.

The left has always had to work twice as hard as the right. We have to be twice as strategic, and we’re punished twice as hard for mistakes.

Our Twitter activism culture is cancer. And I am done being bullied into silence over it.

As Southwest CEO Bob Jordan pretends to apologize—remember—SW got a $7B federal bailout, spent $5.6B of that on Stock Buybacks, gave their CEO a raise to $9.1M, & forced frontline workers into 16 hour shifts under threat of termination—while spending $0 updating SW software😳

Southwest’s debacle isn’t an accident. It’s the predictable result of billionaire & corporate corruption & greed—& thousands of workers & travelers are paying the price.

In a just world SW execs will face criminal charges.

Kevin McCarthy privately called for Twitter to ban certain Republicans—now he claims outrage that Twitter banned certain Republicans.

Donald Trump had the chance to do a prisoner swap for Paul Whelan—now he claims outrage that Biden didn't swap for Whelan.

The GOP voted unanimously to cut taxes for billionaires—now they claim outrage that the deficit has grown just as they knew it would.

The GOP has no values. They are power hungry extremists. Please get active, get organized, & vote them out

A #BrexitRecap !!
Not one statement has come to fruition
#CostOfLivingCrisis #BrexitRecession
#RejoinEU
Workers rights, bathing water directive, safety of gas appliances, food safety, passage of rights, compensation, air safety, it is not red tape as framed by Mogg and his 'Sovereign cohorts' they're slashing and burning regs that will lead to unfettered corporate hegemony. Brexit has unleashed disaster capitalism backed by big oil/tobacco/pharma who pour millions into the right wing think tanks to shape radical right policies (even though they enjoy charity status and are tax payer funded).
I'm truly sickened in a Pavlovian way by all the ads showing tables with about 30 laden dishes/plates of mostly yellow/orange Christmas food, with about 8 people max sat around the table. It's DISGUSTING, it's gaslighting those with barely enough to survive and it implies HUGE amounts of waste afterwards. Just try and be a bit more original and less twattish.
Feeling quite chuffed with myself
My heated hydroponic greenhouse (grow crops all year round) with led lights is now fully running off the 6 @ecoworthy solar panels on garage roof.
Figures for those interested
Cos most ring wingers have large parts of their brains switched off, none of them predicted the labour shortage. THEY thought there was a rump of ppl waiting to spring into the vacancies even if they were untrained/live in the wrong place but the workers we need were never born

A brief introduction:

I'm a professor of sociology and director of the Center for the Study of Inequality at Cornell.

Current projects are on occupational closure; income inequality; the gender gap in wages; segregation in higher education and in labor markets; intergenerational mobility; and young adults' occupational plans and educational decisions.

Interested in #OA and open science.

Also expect some toots about Alaska, academia and administrivia, cats, and the great outdoors.
