After writing 38,566 words, I have simply run out of them. This feeling eludes description. What I do have is a ton of gratitude for the many, many people who have helped me to get here.

@CharlesKatulamu@UM_PSC Thank you, Charles—both for the congrats and, more so, for all your support through our writing sessions that helped me actually get this done!

The research presentations haven’t even kicked off at #PAA2023 yet and I already want to add myself to the next Census count in New Orleans—what an absolutely magical city! ✨
This isn’t extravagant, it’s a fight to meet basic human needs, and it’s sad there has to be a fight at all when there is no shortage of resources available to fairly compensate a community of workers that contributes so much to the educational mission of this university.

Pursuing grad studies @umich shouldn’t require making short-term sacrifices in effort to make ends meet that could end up compromising our personal and financial health for the rest of our lives. But right now, that is what is required, for far too many.

A 2% raise counter proposal on the same day I (and surely many other grads) received lease renewal contracts reflecting a year on year increase in housing costs of 20%�� 🫠
Many GEO members have been betting as to what HR’s counter on compensation would be, but no one was expecting a 2% raise per year for 3 years. #ShowUp next week for the week of Grad Labor Visibility, esp. next week’s bargaining session open to salaries, to show HR what you think
Looking forward to presenting a paper from my dissertation at the session on racial/ethnic inequalities in health and mortality at #PAA2023 in April.
See y'all in New Orleans! ⚜️🎷🦐🎭🥃🔮💃✨
