My picketmate Angela closed last week's rally with this: 'Deciding to strike was difficult because I teach more than 500 students, but today I’m teaching my students that we sometimes have to take a stand for respect...' Her message is top of mind for me this morning. #umfa2021

Thanks to wonderful @theuwfa colleagues @alybrickey and @DrPeterJMiller for your support for #umfa2021. Inter-institution collegiality PLUS crows in flight! I’ve got a serious case of flag envy.

Is it just me or do the puppeteer’s legs in this photo make the @umanitoba President look extra feckless? #umfa2021 #umfastrike

Roving hot food crew spreading some #umfa2021 comfort early this morning. Loved watching these guys at work almost as much as I loved my bbq-ed breakfast.

At what point does the University of Manitoba need to reimburse tuition to students? Asking as a parent. I bet paying @UMFA_FAUM a fair deal would be way less expensive.

Today a car drove into my @UMFA_FAUM picket line. Pres. Benarroch, you were not driving the car, but @umanitoba’s refusal to end the strike fairly put us in front of it.

@umanitoba is breaking my heart. Again. The more I learn, the more it stings. #umfa2021
Senior @umanitoba admins get 10% salary bump while profs get less than 2% (which is mostly increment associated with longer years of service and seniority). This is appalling! #umfastrike #umfa2021

Art, inspiration, education: our trailer-turned-exhibit- space is my new #umfastrong happy place. Thanks picketer-curator @SeanCarleton and congrats to @GHC_Comics.

We've had the pleasure of doing some pretty cool installs of the Remember/Resist/Redraw, our radical history project, in the past few years, but this morning we got to install a pop-up in two warming huts set up in solidarity for #umfastrike. RRR looks great on the picketline 😍

Harsh? Yep. But I have never been so disillusioned with/ alienated from @umanitoba. With the treatment of @UMFA_FAUM members and the refusal to stand up for what is truly best for our students and UM, harsh is all I have left. #umfa2021 @uofmstrikememes instagram.com/p/CW4KOtprKZ9/…

This is 9am at Chancellor today. If @umanitoba is thinking we will fade out, think again! These lines get stronger and bigger every day. #umfastrong

Thanks students for joining us! Great to welcome @UMASBC and others (Fine Arts, Plant Sciences, and more) to our line. #umfa2021

Massive online courses = decreased quality of teaching. Read this thread by @merissaadaborn to better understand that we have more than fair compensation weighing heavy on our minds #umfa2021
