@carter__jacob Yay! Welcome to VCS!

Get answers to your questions about #coronavirus, tips to protect your family, and what to do if you feel sick: fal.cn/373Hi #ROC #COVID19 @MonroeHealth #WashYourHands #AvoidCrowds

We hope everyone is taking care of themselves and each other through this time! Getting to read something that we like, that we deserve.

Getting ready for my presentation “Female Collectivity and Feminist Fantasy” @ISSN2020 tomorrow! I will discuss the visual & narrative modes of female collectivity & the reinscription of the neoliberal individual subject in TV feminism (spoiler alert: I take down Handmaid’s Tale)

We are fired and it's official. @UCSC terminated student workers engaged in #ucscstrike strike for a Cost of Living Adjustment (#COLA). Did we get a COLA? No! So why would we stop striking? #cola4all

We are outraged by @ucsc’s decision to fire 54 of its striking graduate TAs. This punitive measure to collective struggles for a living wage comes at a cost of the students’ basic livelihood.
