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!

“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.”

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.

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

[Mostly here now: @davidthewid.bsky.social @davidthewid]

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.
