Thank you! Looking forward to seeing you at JMM in January!

okaaaay, boomers! 👏 [affectionate]

Absolutely! Here at the University of Washington, our academic worker union is hosting a town hall with our congressperson next month to demand an end to cuts to NSF & NIH. Would be great to hear that folks at other schools are doing the same.

I am in fact still in grad school haha

Oh man, no, I’m just on AT and CT which are both generally pretty reasonable!

I have email updates turned on and read through them eventually as well. If I see a paper that’s really interesting I’ll actually open it up on the arXiv. But then I just end up with a bunch of open tabs of arXiv papers I don’t know what to do with 😅

Got it 🫡

And they worked! Turns out speaking up actually does shit

We’re gonna keep organizing and voting in MLKLC for Wilson, but we’ll see how June goes. My dream is regardless of what other big union leadership says, actual membership will organize unofficial Wilson voucher parties anyway, which is probably hopelessly over-optimistic but hey

lol we’re already seeing buyers’ remorse, mlk labor just voted not to give him the $650 donation he asked for

meanwhile uw's facing a budget crisis and all ana mari can muster up at her "town hall" this morning is assuring us there will be no cuts to her personal police force

"we absolutely need to keep them strong. we've seen that this week" 🙄
