Reports are confirming 80 dead, so far, and the @nytimes is reporting that a white settler couple successfully recovered a ROLEX watch from their Lāhainā home.

I have incels in my DMs complaining about how Lizzo is unhealthy, for some reason, and I would like to reiterate my original challenge: Do one of her dance routines and play any wind instrument. You can even do it in flats. Show her up

We r losing 2 many to suicide. & you never know what it is that created that hopelessness in a person. what I do know is many of us are trying to navigate systems that r not built for us. & we blame ourselves for not succeeding in the traditional ways that these systems encourage

Data from a postdoc salary and benefits survey may assist in retaining PhD holders interested in academia but considering alternate options owing to financial considerations, according to a @NatureBiotech careers feature article. go.nature.com/3Ei5P65

While working on her PhD in chemistry at @UCLA, Samantha Mensah has put in long hours trying to make chemistry more welcoming to underrepresented people. She cofounded the nonprofit @BlackInChem, which helps Black chemists network and support each other: bit.ly/3tMQl3M

I am so angry for my disabled students. So many come to office hours to tell me about how the were turned away from jobs, told not to pursue certain coursework and careers, and told they're not a good "fit" for internships. These are goddamn brilliant kids. 1/3

3+ years into a pandemic, the general public is still generally confused about what to do when they test positive for COVID19.
So let me walk you through what I, an infectious disease epidemiologist public health nurse, am doing since I tested positive on a rapid antigen today.

James Cameron called the Lakota nation a “hopeless” and “dead end society”
Besides that statement being a blatant lie he was actually talking about his films post ‘97. All hopeless dead ends and now he’s dying at the final dead end

Do NOT watch Avatar: The Way of Water
Join Natives & other Indigenous groups around the world in boycotting this horrible & racist film. Our cultures were appropriated in a harmful manner to satisfy some 🏳 man's savior complex.

tbt to when the Physics dept at my undergrad didnt adjust my grade after i caught a professor notoriously known for being sexist deliberately grading me lower, implying a C+ wasnt the end of the world
wanna guess what one of my NSF GFRP reviewer's only criticism of me was? :)

Hello, it's me, a postdoctoral student. A student with a whole PhD, 11 first author publications, teaching classes of 200+ students at a time. A mere student. I hope I get an A in being a postdoc.
Postdoctoral students and academic researchers at the University of California said they will return to work on Monday after ratifying a new contract. But workers who help teach undergraduates and assign grades remain on strike. nyti.ms/3uHBjxg

This doesn't look like good faith bargaining by UC. It is recruitment season for new grad students to our labs. They see what is happening. How am I supposed to recruit new students when they see current ones ask for enough money to pay rent and eat, and UC responds "lol no." 2/

"Railroad employees have a separate retirement system from social security & if they resign their position and take a job outside the industry they lose their railroad retirement benefit, thus holding these senior employees hostage in an unfriendly & hostile work environment.
