Wages of unionized workers are 13% higher than their nonunion counterparts. But unions also set a higher pay standard that all workers enjoy. In high-union-density states, median household income is $12,000 higher than in low-union-density states. This is why unions are vital.

I recently deleted my Facebook and Instagram profiles. At some point, the anxiety exceeded the joy with them. The social and environmental disasters surrounding tech billionaires are remarkable, not to mention the social and economic inequality generated in the process. No regrets, what so ever.

Here's where we stand now. Skimming the main headlines of today's newspapers and automatically assuming The World's 'total eclipse' means some old man pushed the button. Well, this time it was the solar eclipse...

My colleague and friend @leesawheelahan.bsky.social and her life- and intellectual partner Gavin Moodie published a book. I guarantee it's worth reading and it should be of great interest to people interested in vocational education practice, policy and research. brill.com/display/titl...

At the excellent @jvetjournal.bsky.social 2025 conference in Oxford 🇬🇧, I had the opportunity to present ongoing work with my colleagues @leesawheelahan.bsky.social, Antti Seitamaa and Penni Pietila. We draw upon critical realist philosophy, further developing the concept of #reflexivity.

The view that improving freedom of speech by forbidding words to be spoken is really something. It must go to history the greatest paradox of the bourgeois far-right populists ever #DEI #Fulbright #SocialJustice

What I like most about this UK school of humanism is that it is based on realism, the philosophy of real people living in a real world and not a fantasy one.
