Big news: our first bargaining session is ON THE BOOKS for November 15th! @Duke PhDs, your bargaining team is ready to go ✊ we stand united for the #faircontract we deserve!

@cogcelia I agree that we should continue improving standards (and we do!), but it seems more likely that congress/public will ratchet funding down to nothing, without investment to improve.

[Duke Grad Union @dukegradunion]

Live from our watch party, we are thrilled to join a historic wave of organizing #UnionsForAll in higher ed, and so excited for Duke grad workers. Today, we’ve formed the first recognized grad student union at a private university in the South, and 1 of the largest unions in NC!

[Duke Grad Union @dukegradunion]

WE WON OUR UNION!

@hgargan Been thinking the same, but might get some better lenses! Would love to go mirrorless one day though :)

[Thom Nguyễn @thmsngyn]

not only was I hit by a car this week, but also my identity has been stolen! big week for folks who like committing crimes on me (I'm doing great otherwise)

[Thom Nguyễn @thmsngyn]

@icanhasMiranda @MedicalCollege Congrats!!!!! Amazing news :)

[Bike Durham @BikeDurham]

@thmsngyn @movesafedurham We’re glad you’re not hurt, Thom. We need to get @NCDOT on board with Durham’s vision for safer streets, which means slowing drivers.

[Thom Nguyễn @thmsngyn]

@CharlieReece @NCDOT @NCDOT_Triangle This is the 5th accident (3rd hit and run) I've seen at this intersection alone, while living on Duke St the last two years.

[Thom Nguyễn @thmsngyn]

@EmmaL_Dolan @movesafedurham Yeah, there were other hit and runs at this same intersection last year too. A neighbor was hit and was seriously injured while just walking his dog.

[Thom Nguyễn @thmsngyn]

I was hit by a car while biking at Duke and Markham an hour ago. Car ran a red, hit me, and drove away! Glad I could walk away from this, but some are not so lucky. We need to make Durham roads safer @movesafedurham
