Just had to show a cop my driving passport on my way to buy alcohol with my age passport.

Maybe later I’ll go to Costco with one of my capitalism passports.
This morning my partner and I decided to use our money passport to grab breakfast.

What’s next? Maybe we will go use our library passport to take out a couple books.

Or maybe we will go do some physical activity with our exercise passports.
Maybe we will cap off date night with a Netflix movie as we use one of our entertainment passports.
Y’all are good. Well done folks.

university administrators abound want faculty to be able to deliver courses online or face-to-face -- depending on administrative needs -- but don't want to talk about how that labor will be compensated
they preach flexibility and accessibility, but scoff at your entitlement when you tell them each format requires fundamentally different pedagogies
"everyone is doing their best" they say, as they ask you to deliver two courses in one without appropriate resources nor compensation

“Athletes are brainwashed from a young age”

Why do many college athletes reject the insidious term ‘student-athlete’?

Latest from @EndofSportPod @nkalamb @JohannaMellis in @guardian

As @Brittcollens22 tell us, it may be endorsed by some athletes because many “don’t understand the implications behind the word.”

Why not hear it from the guy who invented the term?
@runandrewcooper of @ucaa_one told us that many athletes “have no idea that the NCAA invented the term ‘student-athlete’ nearly 70 years ago to avoid paying workers’ compensation and how the NCAA leverages it to justify their tax-evasion scheme.”

So administration at Laurentian University used Tri-Council research funds to pay the bills.

This is happens after decades of systemic underfunding of public education and @fordnation @RossRomanoSSM say it has nothing to do with them.

I have some thoughts. A thread.
Ross Romano @RossRomanoSSM, Minister of Training, Colleges, and University, knew about the financial issues at @LaurentianU MONTHS go. Did not then and is doing nothing now.

FIVE of LU’s board members are appointed by the provincial government.

This didn’t come out of nowhere.
“BUT DEREK IT’S BECAUSE PROFS LIKE YOU MAKE SO MUCH MONEY!!!”

Sure, I’ll concede some profs have great, well-paying, secure jobs. But you seem to be missing something here:
