Happy #InternationalDayOfWomenAndGirlsInScience! One obvious thing institutions can do to help reduce the attrition of women in science is to stop hiring men who were fired from their previous institutions for sexual harassment.

Learning about stuff you don't know or is outside of your wheelhouse can be one of life's joys. If anything, it's an opportunity to expand your mind and worldview. "I don't know much about Kendrick Lamar, but I'm going to learn why he won 22 Grammy Awards, an Emmy and a Pulitzer Prize."

I wish that people would stop pretending that having non-white children or sexual partners is any kind of impediment to white supremacist politics. This is the country of Thomas Jefferson and Strom Thurmond. Why persist in magical thinking about the power of familial ties to combat racism?

One thing I am increasingly thinking/realizing is that there is a whole consultant and media complex that encourages hand wringing around simple issues of moral clarity. They've sold a muddy centrist road that people continue to resoundingly reject.

The angry response to the Bishop’s sermon is telling. They can't control our capacity for empathy, it's their kryptonite. It's a bucket of water on the wicked witch.

SHARE WIDELY. KNOW YOUR RIGHTS. With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights. You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one. (1/3)
