Good morning, adjunct faculty UAW Local 7902 still don’t have a contract after 6 mos of bargaining + 2 extensions, the second of which expires midnight tonight—since they teach the vast majority of NYU classes, today would be a good day for New York University to agree to a fair contract!

i've been at NYU since 2016, making ~$24K a year teaching four classes. this contract is actually life changing.

happy birthday Alice Notley

The faculty who do 87% of teaching at New School receive only 12% of its budget

no one like Bernadette will ever walk among us. “Work your ass off to change the language and don’t ever get famous” gets often packaged as “advice for writers,” but it isn’t that, it’s the only definition of “poetry” that means anything to anyone

RIP bernadette. the patron saint of all of us.

Tan Lin's HEATH is such a foundational text for a lot of the work I care about in the 2010s and am happy to read such a generous and smart reading of it here alongside an old word .doc I made while Holly watched old Harry Potter movies

NYU is union busting! After winning a landmark contract for adjuncts with the UAW Local 7902, New York University is reducing adjunct course loads across colleges. They waited until after the semester was over to let many of us know.

Union busting is disgusting! Shame on you, NYU. 📢 Solidarity with NYU Adjuncts at UAW Local 7902 / UAW Region 9A - stay strong!
