This is outside the scope of my normal posts, but as many people as possible in US academia need to see this. I do not like posting info to my feed that is not uplifting, but this gets an exception. Please share this with anyone you know this will affect. 🧪 #NSF #Research #NSFawards

If you give a shit about trans people at all, like a tiny bit, please tell your friends and neighbours not to vote conservative. They might not listen to you. But they might.

Her name was Jayla. She was 6 years old. She loved her family, crafting, & Squishmallows. "Her smile could light up a room." She was murdered by a drunk driver, but she was failed by a city & a society that prioritizes cars over kids' lives. @visionzerovancouver.ca www.gofundme.com/f/help-suppo...

Terfs can't legislate trans people out of existence. We see you. You're here. You're valid. You deserve the right to be left the fuck alone to live long, happy lives.

People might think the upcoming Vancouver by-election doesn't matter, because ABC will still control a minimum of 8/11 votes. I disagree! Do you like the things on this list? They're motions that @christineboyle.bsky.social brought to council during this term alone.

Excellent Op-Ed by Peter Zandstra on improving 🇨🇦 science at a time when 🇺🇸 is throttling their golden goose.
