Our union is cool as hell because we not only represent faculty, but every single worker who gets a paycheck from our college. Adjuncts, staff, custodial, food workers, and beyond. I quite like that.

I got kicked out of jury selection for being a feminist labor organizer. I should have kept my big mouth shut lol. I've always wanted to be on a jury 😢

Today, workers across the university came together to say: unions belong at Penn!

Biology graduate worker Luella Allen-Waller asked Penn management to stay neutral in our upcoming election and listen to the mandate of the supermajority of workers who want a union.

@kensmith199 @HerbertHistory I *loved* Blue Chips when I was a kid who was really into basketball. You're damn right that it was way ahead of its time.

I’m podcasting! On FRAGILE JUGGERNAUT (@RADIO_CIO), me and my cohosts (too many to fit into a tweet) with help from @haymarketbooks are delving into the CIO: What was it? What can we take from its history? What was going on with John Lewis’s eyebrows? Etc. https://t.co/DgoFBVnxuo
