Bluesky is cool and all, but the interaction and engagement rate across all my feeds is low to nonexistent 🤷🏿

An estimated 1.5 billion people—roughly one in every five human beings—speak English, making it the most widely used language in the history of humanity. Some researchers worry about what we’re losing with its expansion.

I am experimenting with moving my Substack. I have had some issues for a while, partly the faux social network route it has taken and supporting bigots galore! And with that, I am trying 👻 aloadoforgness.ghost.io/about/ If you are interested in #DEI #AI and straightforward #IOPsych, subscribe 🧡

Aiight BOOM. 👏🏾👏🏾 My goal is to fill this pack with working Black artists who post regularly and are community active! Please lmk if you'd like to be added! #art #blackartist #blacksky #illustration #comicart #gameart #kidlit #conceptart

With Trump weeks away from office, trans people in red states are turning to platforms like TikTok to crowdfund relocation. "Nobody wants to leave the place that they grew up their entire life, unless they feel like they need to.” www.wired.com/story/trans-...

I get so grumpy when I hear #intersectionality used incorrectly. However, I will now steal this great typology from some FRESH #psychology research #DEI www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Progress is not a straight line It bends It forks It curves It flips Constantly moving but maybe not how we want, need, or would like 🥲 #DEI

"Non-White scientists appear on fewer editorial boards, spend more time under review, and receive fewer citations" www.pnas.org/doi/abs/10.1...

As if LinkedIn isn’t strange AF enough 🙃

Amazing research for folks interested in bias in hiring And open access 🩶

I have been 🤔 about @ruha9.bsky.social D4BL keynote, and my takeaway is, as they shared, that AI by technocrats is reducing our social imagination, but it does not have to. Tech can reimagine our society and form new bonds by inviting new forms of knowledge to the fore! 💕

Hope is revolutionary 💕

Coming in 🔥 - I 💕 a framework to further highlight the mess of evaluations as sites of inequity. With that out of the way, respeat after me Evaluations do not exist in a vaccum; they are shaped by shared beliefs about value and deservingness 🥲 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #DEI #IOPsych

This article got me 🥹 giving up is super underrated; hustle culture and bossification of life have led us all to believe we need to perserve. Shock horror, you don't have to. This year, I finally practiced the art of not finishing 💩📚. In the end, life is short, so how about we celebrate trying ✨

Everyone school is in session 💁🏿‍♂️

I find myself reflecting more and more on Arnstein’s Ladder as a tool to build more significant, more meaningful citizen participation in #policy and #tech building. And, also somewhat saddening is that, in most cases, we are not even halfway up the🪜

Super excited to see how #blacksky evolves 🖤
