It was a beautiful day for #solidarity. 😎 Proud to support @neiupi. My education shouldn’t have to be a bargaining chip, but I’m ready to put it alllll on the table to fight for these awesome humans. #NEIU #Students4Faculty #NEIUStrong #Strike #Illinois #Chicago #HigherEd

[EJ Schumacher (they/them) @EJIsTrueNeutral]

@NEIU is part of the problem. Dismantle systems that oppress, including Illinois public higher education. #FairContractNow #Students4Faculty #NEIU #Strike #NEIUStrong #UnionStrong #neiupi #Illinois #HigherEd

@LaurenWalshArt I am 33 years old & just started on Adderall about two weeks ago. It has already changed my life. I know mt life could have been very different if I’d been diagnosed earlier, but I’m still so grateful for my journey.

Sometimes when you’re sick and watching @dimension20show The Seven, you just have to make yourself feel a little better by doing Danielle makeup. 🍄🍄🍄

Thanks for making my night a bit less crummy, @erikaishii ❤️
