I wanted to post some photos of the #InternationalWomensDayMarch yesterday, alongside older protests saying “spot the difference”, but there is a difference. Inclusivity and intersectionality. Rights for all means ALL. #resist #TuLuchaEsMiLucha

Catch me in Austin tomorrow at #StandUpForScience! Things suck but I’m also getting pretty amped for a weekend of protesting, on Saturday I’ll be part of an international women’s day march, bringing water and snacks to that as well!

It’s wild how you can feel the difference between apply to jobs in a blue state versus a red state. Most jobs have been asking if I’m male or female. The one I’m applying for rn asked for my legal name and my “lived name” stating all of their internal documents will use my lived name but they do (1

Serious question: if you were struggling to find a job, would you accept a position from an institution that LITERALLY (I mean literally) traumatized you, you publicly spoke out against them, & now they’re offering you a job with good pay and benefits? Cause things are dark, idk if they’re that dark

“I wish I could tell you this has all made me stronger somehow but in reality it has only shattered my confidence. You have made me feel like I do not belong and I cannot forgive you for that” is SO powerful👏👏👏

Okokokokok I’m NOT ADVOCATING FOR THIS…. But what if we set a bunch of research animals lose in the various Capitol buildings during the stand up for science marches… like if we all lose funding we’ll have to find something to do with them anyways

What I’m used to: going to the doctor and being told actually whatever real medical condition I’m dealing with is “just anxiety” What I’m not used to: also being asked to partner with them in a hypothetical future clinical trial cause they need an actual Ph.D. on their team????

I know there are way bigger problems we need to tackle right now, but when are we going to have dental care as a basic human right. I’m not looking forward to the cost of new teeth in a few years just cause I couldn’t afford dental insurance for five years😬 I guess that goes with healthcare for all?

It’s so weird to be looking for jobs and seeing that the government (whether local or federal) is hiring scientists…. Like didn’t y’all just fire a ton of us and cut all our funding? And you think I wanna work for you? I’d literally rather work at Walmart, which is looking like a real possibility….

Once again I am suggesting that you break some rules for practice. Get comfortable with breaking rules. When the rules are hurting other people, the right thing to do is break them. We need people who follow their moral code over the rules of their society, university, employer, and government.

Those stickers are driving me crazy. He’s always been this way, you just didn’t bother to know. Which is fine, we all have things we don’t know, we can’t know everything. But when something is new to you, you can’t act like it just started being this way.

A phenomenon I've experienced for years that makes me twitch a bit, is watching people (in the neighborhood, in the science community, etc) work their absolute asses off, then have people who do very little, demand that they work harder & do more, while that person sits & does nothing.

We are experiencing an assault on science unparalleled by anything I’ve seen in my life. It’s not one issue or another anymore, the entire institution is under attack by the most powerful individuals in the country. This Friday, where will you be? standupforscience2025.org

Is it a red flag if a job says I need to “be able to obtain public trust” in all caps and bold multiple times? Like what are y’all doing that’s so untrustworthy (before someone asks, it’s not pharma/vaccine related)
