New data finds Americans are more likely to support labor unions over Big Business than at any time in the past 60 years. We are witnessing a historic rebirth of worker power.  If you want a better life for you and your children, join or support a union.

Ouch

So often when I go into a grocery store i think about just because you can, doesn’t mean you should.

“And I’m like, what do you mean, you ‘do your own research’? You running a double-blind study in your living room, dawg?” - A guy walking ahead of me with his friends on a NYC sidewalk in 2021, also my favorite overheard dialogue of the entire pandemic

It feels so strange to be going on about regular business during all of this, my current work feels useless in the face of everything barreling at us. Nonetheless I passed my dissertation proposal defense yesterday ‘with distinction’ so toot toot, that’s the sound of my own horn. 🎉

Growin asparagus!!

Your assignment this week is to read a book that some “Mom for Liberty” would bring to a school board meeting and cry about.

Managing my way through: turned in my (hopefully final) proposal to my diss chair, made it off the 5-yr waiting list for a garden plot at a county park, buying rocks off strangers bc that Titan in the basement isn’t cutting by itself

Everyone keeps saying "No one is coming to save us!" but I think it's a distinct possibility that whoever did this is coming to save us.

Research from 2022 that every Democrat apologist should chew on: “We do not find any evidence that accommodative strategies reduce radical right support. If anything, our results suggest that they lead to more voters defecting to the radical right.“ www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Sorry been reading what’d I miss

They're only banned if you let them be banned. The proper response from any agency is "Fuck you. See you in court." All of this website scrubbing and exhibit purging is cowardly and disgraceful. As Timothy Snyder has observed, it's simply teaching power what it can do.

Maybe I wasn’t clear about this. I wanted more egg and no plane crash, not many plane crash and no egg.

Ok but they're all load-bearing agencies, load-bearing programs, load-bearing workers though

Just made a genuine post about my dissertation (re: job satisfaction/retention in ECCE) but did so while sharing a video on motivating employees from Lumon Industries. Over/under on how many people reply that finger traps are an excellent resource for childcare teachers?

It's not complicated. They're just trying to stop women from being able to vote.
