Visited a home today along Sulfur Run.
Itâs still contaminated.
After moving rocks, the PID read 2.1 ppm (not ppb) coming off the creek.
Background in air was 0-3 ppb

Contractors (paid by someone) seem to have left garbage in Sulfur Run. They didnât clean up. You canât tell me the sorbent pad is going to be used again.

I've struggled with depression for 6 years. Trying to complete my M.A. during a pandemic has been exceeding difficult. Campus? Closed. Libraries? Closed. Archives? Closed. Iâve had to re-learn how to learn in isolation.

In 2019, I worked as a stripper for 4 months, while attending full-time M.A. classes and working PT. I lost both jobs in March 2020. I didnât have classes again until Jan 2021. It felt like the rug was ripped out. Pandemic dragged, my depression got worse.

PSA for funded #PhD students:
If you blindly throw the numbers from your Form 1098-T into tax software or over to a tax preparer, odds are that you are paying TOO MUCH in income tax.
No #gradstudent can afford to do that!

Of course, I canât say this is true for everyone, but Iâve seen it time and time again for fully funded graduate students, particularly those whose student health fees and insurance premiums are paid on their behalf.

Hereâs why:
The IRS allows you to use your âqualified education expensesâ (QEEs) e.g., tuition and some fees/expenses, to reduce your tax liability through 1 or 2 education tax benefits.
But what shows up on Form 1098-T in Box 1 is not (necessarily) the sum of your QEEs.

2019 was a productive writing year for me, with 14 pieces. Some on my Medium blog, others for @OrganizingWork, @LaborNotes and @DemSocialists, thanks to those folks for posting! #1u #UnionYes Here's the list:
@OrganizingWork @labornotes @DemSocialists A review of the classic #LaborFilm #NormaRae, this was really fun to write, organizing.work/2019/01/movie-âŚ
@OrganizingWork @labornotes @DemSocialists A review of the great book âEdge of Anarchyâ about #EugeneVDebs and the famous Pullman strike of 1894, dsausa.org/democratic-lefâŚ
With the fall semester approaching for many of our users, we want to highlight a few of the ways that @humcommons can help make planning and managing courses easier. So, without further ado:

Since we posted about this yesterday, it makes sense to start w/the CORE Repositoryâs syllabus collection. There are 200+ syllabi for you to peruse & download. Make sure to check the @creativecommons license attached to know how/if you can use it. hcommons.org/deposits/?face⌠(2/?)
@creativecommons Even if you donât find a syllabus that fits your particular course, you can always draw inspiration from the other syllabi⌠who knows? You may find assessment ideas or student guidelines that work for your course! (3/?)
I use interviews as an educational opportunityâfor me and a future #UndergradInTheLab. I start each interview by saying, âYouâre already qualified for this position-- after all youâre in college.â Then I focus on learning about them.

@NewPI_Slack My interview goals are to determine
1) If the student is genuinely interested in the available research project
2) If they will likely achieve their goals through the overall experience

@NewPI_Slack Determining these, however, can be complicated. Often, students donât have a well-defined goal beyond landing an undergrad research position. Or sometimes they have unrealistic expectations of what research will be like & what theyâll accomplish in a semester.
