I recently deleted over 10,000 tweets, starting from March '07, when I joined this service. It was kinda thrilling.

Coffee shop closed today w/o warning the workers in Birmingham, AL. This is a common practice in the restaraunt industry.a With a union contract, workers would have the power to negotiate the terms of closures. This is one of many reasons so many are organizing today.

Our favourite moment from Saturday's commencement! So glad we could be there to wish our graduating students well. Dean Curzan needs to read the room and respect our right to strike! Want to send a final message to admin? Participate in our email zap at bit.ly/ZapZapZap

“This recent rise in labor activism[...] has been motivated[...] by the desire to leverage the shared interests of faculty, students, staff, and the community at large. A stronger faculty means a stronger campus, and[...] a stronger Flint.” #UMFAFTAAUP #Local5671 #UnionStrong

Here's the moment from Monday's hearing when Butzel-Long's attorney compared striking workers to domestic abusers. This comparison is extremely deplorable and was stricken from the record following our lawyer's objection.

Yeah this piece is completely out of step with how contract bargaining works in real life and even a cursory glance at previous contracts and strikes at UMich with any of the campus unions would demonstrate this. (1/12)

@FromPhDtoLife Never heard of Meistertask. I jump around from thing to thing. Currently it’s Todoist. Before it was Trello.

Project management is not my natural way of being in the world and I need systems! I use MeisterTask for projects & tasks. I've used it for years and it does what I need. I like that it integrates with other software via Zapier.

Academics and PhD folks juggling multiple projects: What project management system do you rely on? Notion, Excel, Kanban board, Trello, or other tools?

BREAKING: 2,500 grad workers & supporters walk away from $24K at the rally and march this morning. Our strike is LIVE!

BREAKING: Starbucks workers nationwide are on STRIKE demanding their right to a union! #StarbucksShareholders $SBUX

I believe when a private corporation poisons an entire town and decimates an ecosystem, a visit is in order. It’s a disaster zone.

Congratulations to the hardworking diagnostic techs at Michigan Medicine! After years of organizing and hard work, their union of over 900 members has been officially recognized by the administration. #union #solidarity

a bunch of my friends are choosing between PhD programs. here's my advice to them: it is FAR more important to work with someone who is kind, than someone who does exactly the research you want to do or is at a prestigious institution.

@GrimKim Is that a Morbid Angel shirt? Happy birthday!

I turned 35 today :) I’m gonna drink some bourbon with my friends and go to a hardcore show, so I guess it’s not all that much different from 25!
