I had to take a week off of lab work because I had Covid for the first time, and I am in disbelief that most people don't mask regularly like me and my community do. I do NOT want to go through this again.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

I'm currently attending the American College Personnel Association's 2025 conference in Long Beach, CA, and this is hands down the most affirming conference I've attended. Everyone I've talked to has been wonderful and eager to help out as they can! I'm 100% coming back! #ACPA25

lol THESE WHITE STUDENTS? bsky.app/profile/keit...

Study on Harvard finds 43 percent of white students are legacy, athletes, related to donors or staff
The number drops dramatically for black, Latino and Asian American students with less than 16 percent each coming from those categories, the study said.

The government censoring scientists is horrific. But what is even more horrific is that many non-government scientists and institutions are self-censoring themselves because they are scared of the government and losing funding. Authoritarianism wins when we comply in advance!

I'm gonna say the quiet part aloud. Sadly there are many in scientific, academic & healthcare ranks as well as in the leadership of professional societies who support the purge of DEI. The failure to peak out forcefully and rush to comply by some is unsurprising. www.statnews.com/2025/02/03/t...

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

GOOD NEWS: A federal court temporarily halted President Trump's order to freeze all federal funding, including grants for public health, education, and safety. Trump's order would have devastating consequences for communities in every corner of the nation. Our leaders must block it for good.

As your friendly neighborhood feminist scholar, I’d like to remind everyone that community building is going to be vital. There is strength in numbers-no matter what the 1% say-otherwise they wouldn’t be trying so hard to oppress us. Do not lose hope. Time for grassroots activism.

As a kid, I always wondered why I was so obsessed Star Wars. I always wondered why it was so important. As an adult, I get it now. Star Wars at its core is a story about fighting authoritarianism.
