"Critical Approaches to Queering STEM Education"
Abstracts due: May 30, 2025
Full call: QR code/in the replies
To whoever needs to hear this:
Acknowledging that structural violence against minoritized communities is embedded into schools is NOT taking a "deficit mindset." Blindly advancing assimilation as an end goal doesn't counter "deficit mindsets" of students, nor does praising the assets of... schools.

If Ashley were white, Grodner wouldn't have undersold her in the edit 🤷 #bb27

The most satisfying outcome to truly one of the most chaotic seasons ever.

Me, as Reviewer 2: "The manuscript would be strengthened by adding a description of how the study was conducted beyond 'we did 2 interviews'."

is accidentally no-showing therapy because you forgot about it the first sign that your new antidepressant is working?

Who (some of) this actually might apply to: kids who die in school shootings; trans kids killed in hate crimes or who take their own lives; Black kids lost to police brutality; missing & murdered Indigenous girls; the kids lost in Palestine's colonization.

You don't actually care about kids, RFK.
RFK Jr. wants to eradicate autistic people and also has no idea what an autistic person is

the caucasity of adrian brody to say “i’ve won before i know how this works turn off the music i can keep talking”, and then them DOING IT??? i bet halle berry and every other woman of color who has had their speeches cut short just rolled their eyes so hard

the fact that anyone expected any of the people from emilia perez to say anything about trans rights during their acceptance speeches is so comical to me i’m sorry - the film was made by cis white french people capitalizing on transness for clout, not with the intent of being a vehicle of commentary

can someone please tell me the name of the piece of music that played during the in memoriam i am losing my mind trying to place it

ok, cis folks—if you said you'd stand with trans folks, it's time.

S.9 is the senate's sports ban bill—a big step to making trump’s executive order a federal law, which is much harder to undo. it can be stopped *monday.*

short call scripts for dem & GOP senators ⬇️🧵

legiscan.com/US/bill/SB9/...
a cloture vote for the way-harder-to-undo-than-an-executive-order federal anti-trans sports ban is now set for monday. that means there's more time to make calls.

no on cloture means it doesn't get a vote. the GOP needs 7 dems to advance it.

please call. there is *so* much evil downstream of this.

taking black kids away from their parents and putting them on farms seems really familiar to me! what could it be?
Even the most disturbing RFK Jr. headline always manages to have a detail inside creepier than you could have imagined. I’m sorry, did you just say Black kids should have a chance to get “re-parented”???? Gift link wapo.st/4hW2xGI

This has never been about "protecting women." Cis women have long been used as bargaining tools in death-dealing games. Today, that game eradicating trans people. Not long ago, that game was eradicating accessing reproductive health.

This is about CONTROLLING women for patriarchal political gain.
