Incredibly proud of all the organizers who've worked countless hours over the last 4 years to get to this point! 😍😍

I'm grateful to have been a small part in this enormous effort to improve the lives of thousands of grad workers for years to come :-)

[UMN Graduate Labor Union- UE 1105 @umnglu]

Our members said YES to the contract offer! Now the Board of Regents needs to sign it for it to go into full effect. Stay tuned for our next plans! Congrats to everyone who worked hard to organize and make this contract possible!

🚨 The Carceral AI report is out! 🚫 Read the recommendations of global activists and academics to resist technologies designed to police, incarcerate, surveil, and control human beings.

[Petra Molnar (@petramolnar.com on BlueSky🦋) @_PMolnar]

New - and ever more crucial report - on carceral AI, a growing class of algorithmic and data-driven practices designed to police, incarcerate, surveil, and control people.

Recommendations, report, and beautiful artwork too!

Many, many people woke up this morning feeling like the next 4 years are impossible or even unlivable.

A day to share some crisis support resources. 🧵

[Stevie Chancellor is elsewhere (see pinned) @snchancellor]

So excited for work led by @SachinPendse about a consent-forward paradigm for mental health in Nature Mental Health! We clarify WHY consent thru the whole process of developing digital mental is crucial + HOW we might start to do this pragmatically.

[Nature Mental Health @NatMentHealth]

In this Perspective the authors propose an implementation of a consent-forward paradigm in the design of digital mental health tools to protect users from unexpected harm

@Usman64182198 Not totally sure why. I think they just ask for 2 letters up front and then the 3rd can come after the first round of interviews

For anyone on the SLAC job market, Vassar computer science is hiring a TT professor: https://t.co/f8ykaANZRv

Applications start to be reviewed this Sunday, October 13th, 2024

If anyone's interested, feel free to reach out to me!

[Logan Stapleton @SloganTapleton]

@Usman64182198 They ask about current and future sponsorship for employment visa status in the application. I don't know if this factors into the search process, though. (I don't think it does, but I'd suggest reaching out to Vassar human resources just to make sure.)

@morganklauss Yeaa seems kinda rough. I'm glad u avoided it tho :-)

maybe I'll see how coverage is on state insurance here in NY ...

[Logan Stapleton @SloganTapleton]

oh heck yeah. i just got switched to aetna and lost a bunch of gac coverage 💢 really hoping this forces them to cover basic transition care 🙃

[Advocates for Trans Equality @TransEquality]

A4TE has filed a class-action lawsuit against Aetna on behalf of three transgender women and others like them who were denied coverage for medically necessary gender-affirming facial reconstruction procedures: https://t.co/nSBzec9aW3
