@msolurin I hear you, but sometimes its ppl who got degrees, realized it led to debt and misery instead of jobs and opportunities, and are trying to keep ppl they care about from also getting scammed. Depends on school and degree...a lot of schools are just expensive pyramid schemes.
@bartleby_era @savannahshange Can confirm, absolute king shit. I finished because I have completionist brainworms and it was a terrible idea; my friends and comrades who said "nah" and dropped out are way better off. Good on you.
@nytopinion Wow look at this ratioed idiot. Still appreciating Ursula LeGuin's cold blooded and correct observation that jkr is "stylistically ordinary, imaginatively derivative, and ethically rather mean-spirited." Get wrecked.
This website shows which universities and museums keep stolen indigenous human remains in their collections who have not been returned to their rightful people
UC Berkeley still has the remains of over 9000 indigenous people.
UC Davis 266
Sac State 174

@RobertRMorris This is so twisted. Unethical practices like this is why research on human subjects at universities has to go through institutional review, so we don't have another Tuskegee syphilis study or Stanford prison experiment. Throw all these irresponsible tech bros off a cliff.
Just days after the UC settled a grad worker strike whose main issue was massive rent burdens, the UC is investing billions in one of the world’s most hated real estate companies. 🤦🏻♂️
Given the climate of discontent, we have updated "We Are Not the Union" to include writings, communiques, and analysis that have emerged over the last three weeks. New links here ⬇️

Strike Rant #10: Today on the state (lol, more like the collapse) of the gig-economy-that-has-become-higher-education. Continued solidarity with those in @uaw2865 @sruuaw@UAW5810 pushing for a legit contract and appreciating solidarity from @UCAFT . @berkeleyRnF@reclaimuc
As an exploited adjunct at UCB extension I've cancelled class in solidarity with the @uaw2865 @sruuaw@UAW5810 strike. I don't cross picket lines.
Non-scab instructors welcome to use these rants I'm sending to class every day until the strike ends. @reclaimuc#FairUCNow
Strike Rant #9: Some spicy takes on wildcats, no votes, democratic unionism, and a reminder that the power of a union is always with the workers and not the bureaucrats. Continued solidarity with radical members of @uaw2865 @sruuaw@UAW5810 . @berkeleyRnF@reclaimuc@bayareabrrn
@TrevorGriffey @uaw2865 @UofCalifornia I'm a UCB adjunct making minimum wage and I'm striking because I don't cross picket lines. They can fire me, idgaf. Tenured faculty with actual health benefits and a living wage need to grow a spine.
