please don't email me back so quickly. Give me a moment to enjoy ticking something off my to-do list

BREAKING: Grad Workers Vote for Tentative Agreement (TA) with U-M

Winning a living wage for most PhD students and major gains in harassment protections, police abolition, and parent & transgender grad care, the TA is a testament to the power of our strike.

Can't believe we have to say this, but: STOP FLYING DRONES NEAR WILDFIRES. DRONES GROUND OUR AIRCRAFT.

Our firefighting operations are more important than those 12 likes you'll get on Instagram.

Buried under all the 'gotcha' takes and gallows humor surrounding the missing #Titanic submersible is the fact that we have a SERIOUS #oceanliteracy problem in the US.

This could be bc we've largely eliminated Earth science from the K-12 curriculum. 🤦‍♀️

Yep. My dad was a Professor and I saw his CV before he retired. I currently, unable to get an entry level lectureship, have more publications than he did in his entire career.

A reminder that Elsevier made $10.5 BILLION in 2022 from selling your academic journals and articles behind paywalls, and make more profit than Amazon, Google, and Apple every year…

And paid the academics who wrote the articles $0
And paid the reviewers of the articles $0

On a day when my waves resemble the gales of November, I ask...

Does any one know where the love of God goes when the waves turn the minutes to hours?

Rest in peace, Gordon Lightfoot, you will always have a place here. It's been good to know ya. 🙏🌊

“I’m not a regular lecturer; I’m a cool lecturer,” you tell yourself, as you reference another tv show cancelled before your students were born.
