Hundreds of graduate students held an organizing rally on the University of Pennsylvania campus April 26, 2023.
Why? Their website (organize@getup-uaw.org) explains:
"We are graduate student workers at the University of Pennsylvania forming a union to improve our working conditions at Penn and to strengthen our collective voice as teaching and research assistants locally and nationally.
As graduate student workers, we make essential contributions to the world-class teaching and research conducted at Penn. However, many of us still struggle to pay high housing and other costs in Philadelphia, lack secure rights in the workplace, and face increasing uncertainty about our futures given the precarious nature of higher education and unstable regulation of visas and work authorization for international student workers.
We have already seen the power of organized graduate student workers at major institutions to dramatically improve their working conditions through unionization with United Auto Workers, including graduate student workers at Columbia, Harvard, and NYU. By building on the experiences of our peers at other universities, we can continue to raise standards for graduate student workers across U.S. higher education.
We join a growing national movement of student workers and other academics forming unions to improve our lives and our work. Graduate student workers organizing with the UAW across the country have made a difference advocating for science research funding, fair visa and immigration policies, and better working conditions in all academic institutions."

Today's outtake's as close to Straight Out of Camera (SOOC) as I can manage with my getup....
Joan and I went for a walk around the village a year ago, and I took along the camera. Trees along the sidewalk, the grain elevator, the old church, the new church/old school, an old tractor....
And these flowers in our yard. I posted a very similar color photo a year ago, but this was actually the next photo on the card.

"The image of a Syrian child's lifeless body washed up on the shores of a Turkish beach this week brought the world to its knees. His name was Aylan Kurdi, and he was just three years old.
The sad reality is that Aylan was one among millions of desperate people forced to flee from war and persecution. The world is facing a global refugee crisis on a scale we've not seen since WWII, but Australia - our lucky country of a fair go for all - is not doing enough. We can do better to help these people.
We need to do better."

PERSONAL FUN FACT: I wrote off this outfit as being rather bland, when I first gazed at stock images on Amazon. In real life, there is so much to appreciate about Kylie's getup. Firstly the SHOES!!!! They say "Kylie" on the front (a detail I had not previously noticed). And the heels? They are LIPSTICK tubes! How clever, especially since Kylie Jenner had her own cosmetic line. The dress is made from a shiny black faux leather/vinyl material that hides the details. In person, I noted just how well constructed and beautiful it is. I especially adore the rose adornment. The only thing I don't care for is the little tassel hanging from the front. It feels out of place...like it's an unfinished bit that wasn't removed. The lip purse is so Bratz, and it is flexible so your doll can fit stuff inside. Not that Kylie came with any accessories she'd need to store in it. I'm pretty sure the sunglasses and earring molds are new. They add a little extra something to this sleek, classy ensemble.
