I really want to highlight this bc the assumption that only undergrads and maaaybe grad students might be trans is something that 1) leads to policies with large gaps for faculty/staff and 2) reinforces the lack of career advancement opportunities for a group already pushed out of academia

Today I learned about the 🇨🇦 artist Sandra Sawatzky and the epic-scaled embroidered tapestry she has created, emulating the Bayeux tapestry, to chronicle the history of fossil fuel extraction. #needlework, #SubversiveStitch www.theblackgoldtapestry.com
Upper and lower embroidered borders show a frieze of dinosaurs, purple, yellow, green, and black (there are two yellow dinosaurs, their tails intertwined in a kind of lovers' knot). In between we see a Victorian lady and gentleman standing on a pier, looking at a huge steam ship in the sea. The caption is Ludvig Nobel Conceived the Oil Tanker too.
