I promised @spacedemands that I would tweet this @antipodeonline meme I made yesterday because of an assignment @Matt_Cook made me do during my Masters. So here it is.
Geographers, DO NOT APPLY for this position. Run, don’t walk, away from Emporia State.
This university just dismissed me as a geographer on the TT along with 32 other professors. So apply at your own peril. This is looking more capricious every day.
Tennessee peeps..are you getting out the word about @SEDAAG4 Atlanta deadline 9/23? @UTKGeography @MTSUGeosciences
THE STRIKE IS OVER! We have a tentative agreement. All Faculty will return to work duties tomorrow Monday, September 12. We could not have done this without all of the support from our Students, the Community, and the Union organizations. #unionstrong #truemu #educationfirst
If Tudor Dixon can’t be trusted with Michigan Steel, why should we trust her with #Michigan?
MI GOP gubernatorial candidate Tudor Dixon says she helped run “every aspect” of her father’s non-union steel company that was sued by more than 24 suppliers and racked up safety violations, worker injuries, and emissions complaints during her time there. bridgemi.com/michigan-gover…
WE'VE BROUGHT OUT THE BIG GUNS!!! At Welch from 10 to 1. Picket with us, drive by and honk, ask T-Rex for a quick Irish jig. #unionstrong💪🏽 #FairContractNow #settlethedamncontract #EducationFirst #TRUEMU
UPDATE: Railroad workers tell us they’re prepared to launch a nationwide strike next week. “The rank and file seem to be in nearly unanimous agreement of a strike,” worker Michael Lindsey said. Railroads have pushed workers to the brink with 24/7 on-call schedules & 0 days off.
Thankful for my colleagues willing to talk to media and represent us well! (I’m on these clips, too, but glad to just be beating a drum. 😅😂)

Last month, Chipotle workers in Lansing, Michigan, became the first workers at the corporation to unionize. We spoke to three of the Chipotle workers and union activists about how they did it. jacobin.com/2022/09/chipot…
Student on the mic: "You all are still teaching us right now! You're teaching us to believe! You're teaching us to fight!" 😭😭😭 @EMUAAUP
No WONDER Admin doesn’t have time to negotiate! EMU official faces charges for exposing himself while driving detroitnews.com/story/news/loc…
Join us! Were fighting for ourselves and you...our students. Let's make the Administration hear us. #FairContractNow #EducationFirst #TRUEMU #unionstrong💪🏽
.@EMUAAUP faculty members seeing their colleagues out on the strike lines that they never get to see/from other parts of campus like: images.app.goo.gl/qxRaEGn7sBTQbj…
If this whole faculty thing doesn’t work out, I think I’d be a UNION organizer! @EMUAAUP #UnionStrong #FairContractNow #EaglesForFairContract #onstrike
Selling off AND selling out…
Strike Day 2. We are fighting for ourselves and our Students. Administration has been selling off our beautiful campus. NO MORE. Administration needs to do right by our Students, Faculty, Community. Period. #FairContractNow #TruEMU #EducationFirst #UnionStrong
Telling that, < 12 hrs into this strike, word that EMU admin have filed lawsuit against our negotiating team & an injunction to stop the rest of us from practicing our 1st Amendment right. All this before, you know, showing up @ the table for actual negotiations #FairContractNow
My job now is to be on the picket line. I’d rather be a professor. But, until @EMUAAUP gets what’s fair, that’s where I’ll be #FairContractNow
