Just FYI: 48,000 grad students, post-doctoral fellows, and academic researchers across the 10 UC campuses are currently on strike for fair bargaining practices, marking the largest academic strike in history.

This strike is incredibly important for setting a precedent. I have seen first hand how overworked and underfunded my colleagues are; they are the backbone of the university and the academic system as a whole. They deserve better, and I am in full support of their efforts

Spread the word, and be sure to donate to the cause if you can

One of the applicants we JUST accepted into our program like a week ago lost his mother on Monday to a horrible hit and run car accident... I was scheduled to give him a tour of our learning spaces on Friday when he had to call and cancel and explain why... My heart is fucking shattered for him.

His mother was walking alongside her property besides the highway when someone struck her while driving, and the God damn coward just sped off... From his interview, I know that his mother raised him all by herself, and now he's lost her...

I picked up a sympathy card for our program to sign and send to him, but my heart just wants to weep for him. To be so young and to Iose your only parent in such a horrible way... To probably find her in the state she was after... To have one of the happiest moments of your life be so tainted by total tragedy not even a week later... They probably went out and celebrated his acceptance, not knowing it was the last time they would celebrate anything together. That his mom, who undoubtedly supported his dreams of becoming a PA and who was probably so proud of him for getting a step closer, will never see him be a PA now...

I can't think about it without wanting to cry...

Palestinian and pro-Palestinian students and academics are being actively persecuted beyond all precedent at universities right now. Can confirm Palestinians who're losing family members are being institutionally terrorized in both the North America and Europe. Students have been suspended for putting up Palestine flags. Palestinians posting on social media about their families and neighbours are being reported and doxxed and getting death threats and their employers and supervisors refusing support them. A colleague of a friend who lost her entire family went to talk to the university counselor about her anger and grief and was immediately reported to the administration. An entire think tank was dissolved because of its members spoke in support of Palestine at a lecture. This level of witch hunting and purging hasn't been seen since the Red Scare. It's fucking terrifying. Please boost this.

Bribing a bunch of adult students to volunteer for an admissions event with candy like I'm the fucking candyman because my colleagues can't be fucked to participate in anything and I get left to run it all by myself

Collaborating on a project with several colleagues, the grad student is unable to identify exactly what he is contributing.

Hey you. You know you should be doing The Thing. I don't want to do The Thing, either. But we can sit down and do it for 2 minutes together. Then we can do it for 5 minutes. Then 10. And so on and so forth until it is done. I'll be coming back to reiterate this.

To whoever needs to hear it: it does not have to be perfect. It does not have to be world altering. It just needs to be done. And I'll sit with you while you do The Thing.

Now go. Stop scrolling. Go work on The Thing. I'll be back to check on you and cheer us both on.
