Day job is teaching in a business school in the South Bay, but I won’t write about that much here. This is my place for insomniac musings about our collective future. I’m an American progressive seeking intelligent #politics debate and hope for the #climatecrisis. I’m an #atheist teaching at a Jesuit university and working to unionize with my non-tenure-track colleagues. I also enjoy #DogsOfMastodon #HigherEd #unions #HistoricalFiction #ScienceFiction #Travel #Cooking #Knitting

Qasim Rashid, Esq.Coffee drinkers! Listen! Starbucks workers nationwide are starting a 3-day strike today (Friday 12/16) as part of their effort to unionize.
How can you help? Don't cross the picket line. Get your coffee elsewhere. (Preferably at independent coffee shops. Long live small biz).
And spread the word! Make this message viral. Let's hold billionaire corps accountable because worker's rights are human rights. Let's go.

How do we ensure that humanity and the earth can “live long and prosper through our academic work?
