And PLEASE VOTE. Last time, Ford got a majority based on votes from only 18% of the electorate.

It's #VotingDay in #Ontario If Ontario is your home - please prioritise the future of #education and #healthcare when making your decision today. This government has been a catastrophe for our province and they do not deserve your vote. thelocal.to/ontario-post... thelocal.to/hallway-heal...

I'm very concerned about how quickly passports have been weaponized against transgender people. Imo this is just as dangerous as having 'jew' stamped on identity papers.

Just updated my computer and microsoft wants permission to access my location? (Apparently for gps and wifi). Why would microsoft need this info for me to run teams? Does wifi need the device location to work? #microsoft

Crazy that the passports changing people's genders is happening so quickly. Important point: looking one gender and having a different one on a passport can cause concerns for that person's safety when traveling to many countries. www.bbc.com/news/article...

Diversity is our greatest asset, even if the government disagrees… They not like us! POC in STEM are here to stay. They tried to rig the game but you can’t fake influence! Mustard on the [Be][At] bro. Happy Black History Month!

Absolutely insane that a plane flipped over at Toronto's Pearson airport. My SO was driving past around that time and says that there was a pretty bad patch of weather. But there's bad weather and there's weather that can flip an 80 person plane...

This is probably a good opportunity to remind people that the belonging of Scandinavians, Italians, Greeks, Slavs, and certain Germans to "whiteness" was contingent on a certain political order, and as that political order crumbles, those privileges exist at the pleasure of some dork ass losers

we really need to make sure that Doug Ford doesn't get to do his little acts of rebellion against trump under the shadow of an unnecessary election that HE called and then get off in any way scott free for the bullshit he's put our province through. don't let him off that hook. tell your friends.

These people know perfectly well that even in the case of so-called "diversity hires", the foundation of "equally qualified" has to be present. They just don't want QUALIFIED people of color to be able to get the jobs for which they trained.

Did an EDI in engineering presentation today and used the US as an example of somewhere it's not safe to be gay.... (Usually I talk about countries that international students often come from where it's illegal but here we are...)

I spoke to a talented junior scientist who just got a good faculty job offer in the US and they told me “well I wouldn’t move to 1930s Germany either” so that’s how that’s going

Back in the day I started a masters in Mech eng (after a chem eng undergrad). I enjoyed my degree but it felt like every week someone I felt was just a colleague would ask me out on a date. A small innocuous thing but frustrating to have happen so often and it definitely affected my learning. 1/

Of course ending birthright citizenship is blatantly unconstitutional. So is a third term in office. But I thought the same thing about presidential criminal immunity and holding office after inciting an insurrection. The obvious is not so obvious anymore.

this confirms something i have long suspected, which is that certain people are told that their professional and academic failures are because of “affirmative action” or “DEI” as a way to avoid difficult conversations about their mediocrity www.wsj.com/lifestyle/ca...

The realist shit my mom ever said was "When we avoid difficult conversations, we trade short term discomfort for long term dysfunction & I think everyone needs to hear that.

Hello US academics! In my part of Canada (Ontario), there are a bunch of scholarship applications that need reference letters in Oct/Nov. Is this the same case in the US?
