Just saw internal policy from a US-university that, because of the government's new fees for H-1B visas, sponsoring H-1B visas for international hires will likely not be feasible. In today's US, I would never have been able to get my first faculty position.

A concrete example of how intersectional oppression is not simply a case of addition: This report into salary gaps between UK parliamentary officers indicates women being paid £1,000 less than men, POC £2,000 less, but Black women £6,000 less. www.theguardian.com/inequality/2...
Parliamentary staff of colour earn £2,000 less than white colleagues, study suggests
Exclusive: GMB union’s report also finds pay disparity for women and disabled, trans, non-binary and gay staffers working for MPs and peers

The gradual inclusion of truth about the experience of slavery in American museums has been one of the most deeply researched and considered and consequential developments in public history over the last half century. Enraging we have to defend it in this way.

Arabic and its various dialects are often positioned as somehow being intrinsically anti-queer but the truth is that queer language exists wherever there are queer people, which is EVERYWHERE. Just got my copy of @marwankaabour.bsky.social's beautiful Queer Arab Glossary. Can't wait to dig in!

"No concession will ever be enough." A very slow lesson for so many institutions and orgs.
Universities are rushing to eliminate the terms diversity, equity and inclusion from all programming while forcing students to sit through pro-Israel propaganda and are still being attacked by the Trump administration. No concession will ever be enough.
"Introducing the (antisemitism) training has not helped Northwestern’s relationship with the Trump administration. Even after implementing it, the administration cut $790m in research funding. Trump is now trying to extract further concessions."

The supreme grace Coco Gauff is extending to Sabalenka is an example of the emotional labour people of colour, especially Black women, often do when responding to White mental gymnastics that ignore facts to dismiss their achievements. youtu.be/7K3Ha2VanWE?...

it's always a little satisfying when something that is a *moral* disaster is *also* a political disaster, because it's not always the case!

Great news! For some reason the headline here is different from the one I saw: "Gulf students ask to be taught Gangalidda instead of Japanese" I wish more educational contexts would rethink or diversify the language options available in schools amp.abc.net.au/article/1052...

Ughhh. Check out my 2024 paper and learn why this is nonsense!
Not me over here citing Language development, linguistic input, and linguistic racism (Figueroa, 2024) on these word gap posts that keep coming across my Instagram feed 🤮

This article defends three main actors in the new HP series because they've previously taken LGBTQ+ roles. WTAF? If non-LGBTQ+ actors earn money and acclaim from LGBTQ+ roles, then they should stand in solidarity with those communities when they're persecuted. www.theguardian.com/film/2025/ap...
Pedro Pascal calls JK Rowling a ‘heinous loser’ in wake of supreme court gender ruling
The actor has long been an activist for LGBTQ+ rights and has a transgender sister who often accompanies him on the red carpet

On my way to #AERA and the US border agent told me to tell everyone the 3 things education should focus on: 1) financial literacy, 2) bodily literacy and wellbeing, 3) spiritual wellbeing, or how one might live a good life. Honestly, I'm onboard 🥰

Never forget that many of the institutions and companies that dismantled DEI-related initiatives did so not out of anticipatory obedience but because they never really wanted diversity, equity, and inclusion in the first place. They are showing us what they have always been.

My husband has taught human reproduction and development to the Cambridge medics for over three decades. When people start banging on about "only two biological sexes" he starts with "which sex: genetic, hormonal, or gonadal"?

Biological sex is not binary. www.scientificamerican.com/article/sex-...
Sex Redefined: The Idea of 2 Sexes Is Overly Simplistic
Biologists now think there is a larger spectrum than just binary female and male

Today is a great day for everyone at #UBC who's doesn't know what "unceded" means in the context of land acknowledgments to learn more. Also a good day to remember that academic freedom depends on enacting the practices that uphold scholarly integrity, like reading and, um, thinking. 👀

I am begging folks to stop citing Braun & Clarke (2006) as their only ref for #ThematicAnalysis. It's 20 years old. They and others have pushed the methodological sophistication of TA much further. 🚩
