Can we imagine a world without plastics, or more accurately, where we address the mountains of poison already produced in a responsible manner? This report by @ejfoundation.org, with a quote from @mayaweeks.bsky.social, makes a strong case for why we should try. ejfoundation.org/reports/pois...

@ucdfri.bsky.social tabled at @ucdavis.bsky.social Grad Fair and I left feeling so inspired by the incoming grad students. Their commitment to redressing historical biases in research is real and robust!

Eugenics is on the rise. We need to understand its past and ongoing role in science and culture to fully root out eugenics logics alive today. sarahmccphd.substack.com/p/legacies-o...

Taking a moment to honor my feminist predecessors, specifically Amina Mama at @ucdgender.bsky.social for receiving an honorary doctorate from Nelson Mandela University in South Africa for her work in African feminist theory. She was also the founding director of the UCD Feminist Research Institute!

I missed seeing Alexis Pauline Gumbs at #NWSA2024 because I felt under the weather. Sad, but I know I made the right choice. It just motivates me more to find another occasion.

Life is short. Write that novel. Paint that painting. Try new recipes. Learn black magic. Go into the forest at night. Summon a demon. Earn that demon's trust. Become best friends with it. Brag to everyone else about your new cool demon best friend. Knit that sweater.

Is anyone working on a feminist STS (science and technology studies) starter pack? Should I work on one?

Sarah McC @sarahmcc.bsky.social · 16/11/2024
The starter packs are awesome. I just used a bunch to follow feminist, book lovers, and academics. I anticipate trimming down over time. But it’s just really cool to have a place to start.

Incredibly grateful to Alexis Pauline Gumbs for her wisdom on election day, and to Audre Lorde for writing the words that inspired Gumbs. See her Nov 6 livestream on Instagram to know what I'm talking about
