Yes #UBC faculty and librarians, I need your vote for this Faculty Association election. To those who say "your conclusions should be more drastic," I concur! https://t.co/6Wo0u9xRNj

San Francisco, night 3/3. This music has made me a better player, and this band made me a better person. I was given the opportunity of a lifetime - to have access to the greatest songbook in modern music, and the deepest well of life memories shared by hundreds of thousands of Deadheads who extended their grace and acceptance to me. I learned to compromise, and to take other people’s chances along with them. I learned to play in real time, to express myself without the distraction of ambition or expectation. I learned to listen, to have musical conversation, and most importantly, to be a part of something much bigger than myself. It was never about me. It was bout “it” - that spirit that a band and a crowd could go looking for together. If I’ve done my job right, I’ll disappear into that beautiful tapestry, the one that began almost 60 years ago and will continue to expand for lifetimes to come. I thank you from the bottom of my heart for embracing me and my place in this band, and to Bob, Mickey, and Billy - I’ll never be able to fully express my gratitude for your taking a chance on me. Something magical happened on this tour, and I don’t think any of us saw it coming. @deadandcompany is still a band - we just don’t know what the next show will be. I speak for us all when I say that I look forward to being shown the next shaft of light… I know we will all move towards it together. This band changed my life, and I love you all for it. An incredible tour, an unforgettable ride, and a beautiful world of memories to visit. I’ll be seeing you…. ⚡️♥️⚡️

Bless your heart! It’s almost like you had no idea what you were getting in to when you decided to get that PhD!

Yes, sometimes elections and votes just come down to 'anybody but'...

In under two minutes, this TikTok creator perfectly shows the relationship between admin and teacher when students are failing. #teacherproblems

To have a chance of minimizing further irreparable damage, we have to choose: either we safeguard living conditions for all future generations, or we let a few very fortunate people maintain their constant, destructive search to maximize immediate profits.

@charlesmenzies The only fair way is to allocate equal shares to all faculty & librarians, as was done at #UBC during Covid. Basically, it took a plague to balance the scales of equity & merit.

@ProfSteveFuller Bruno's definitely smiling down on this conclusion: "which made him a more critical theorist than his post-criticism suggests."

Jamie, I’m sorry this happened to you and your boyfriend. This is disgusting behaviour. If two people in love makes someone this angry - they’re the problem, not you. We must always stand up against racism, homophobia and all other forms of hate.

This is an extremely impressive, important effort of @cupe2278: A visionary solution to the prevalent problem of academic assistants (non-union) at #UBC doing the work of teaching assistants (union) at a % of the salary, benefits, stability, etc..

@gleocbc Does anyone know why the @CAUT_ACPPU has been completely missing in action on these cases at #USask, #UBC, #VIU, etc.?

Climate strike week 231, in Davos outside the World Economic Forum where those most responsible for the climate crisis meet. We’ve written a letter to fossil fuel CEO’s demanding no new fossil fuels. You can sign it too: https://t.co/vsr048rHuo
