Live from our watch party, we are thrilled to join a historic wave of organizing #UnionsForAll in higher ed, and so excited for Duke grad workers. Today, we’ve formed the first recognized grad student union at a private university in the South, and 1 of the largest unions in NC!

@thmsngyn @movesafedurham We’re glad you’re not hurt, Thom. We need to get @NCDOT on board with Durham’s vision for safer streets, which means slowing drivers.

I was hit by a car while biking at Duke and Markham an hour ago. Car ran a red, hit me, and drove away! Glad I could walk away from this, but some are not so lucky. We need to make Durham roads safer @movesafedurham

If you haven’t already, please consider signing Bike Durham’s petition to City Council to fund a Vision Zero Coordinator. Let’s make 2023 the year we begin standardizing the design and construction of safe multimodal streets in our city.

this happened right next to @DukeU's east campus where there is no bike lane or even a shoulder to bike on. not to mention that too many bikers have been injured or worse recently. thankful for the advocacy @BikeDurham is doing and Durham needs to listen

love to start off my day with a guy in truck almost hitting me on a small two way street (while illegally passing in the other lane) and proceeds to tell me it's because I didn't signal

Birders have a tradition of "lifer pie," when we see a new-to-us bird species so we celebrate by eating pie. I'd like to propose "lifer dip," when we travel a long way and utterly fail to see a bird, so we drown our sorrows in guacamole.
