This week marks two months of the giving circle 🌹 every week, you’ve helped six families and fifteen more at a displacement camp get food & water, medicine & healthcare, and SO much more. Let’s do it again this week. Click “weekly” to join the circle. chuffed.org/project/hope...

7 hours left to keep this family housed. We must seize EVERY chance to keep Palestinians alive as our governments annihilate our siblings in Gaza. Eviction would expose them to the dangerous heatwave & escalating bombardment. So let's do it. 822/1100 chuffed.org/project/help...

8 HOURS. I’m running an emergency drive for my friend Mai’s mother, Maha, at risk of being evicted—in the midst of famine, hourly massacres, ground invasion. Anything helps keep her housed. STILL 18/1250 AUD ($815 USD) - change currency on the Chuffed form.

There is no use to your fear, hopelessness, or helplessness. There is NO risk in giving to survival funds, in any country. Five dollars isn’t useless in the face of famine. Six families & a displacement camp, one link, and all of our boldness. Get to it: chuffed.org/project/hope...

Mai is my beloved friend. Mai is a single mom who’s been forcibly separated from her children. Mai goes 4-7 days at a time without eating. Mai also has a landlord extorting her for rent. But you’ve helped. Give/find her individual link here. 413/1700 by Friday: chuffed.org/project/hope...

The following thread contains 201 open access articles, books, chapters & reports written and led by First Nations’ researchers. We write our own research across all areas. The order is random and ranges across disciplines, because of course it does. #201FirstNationsArticles

At our 11th #SciCom Colloquium, Dr @ellietheelement.bsky.social dives into how #Zines open up space science education in unconventional and inclusive ways. Catch the recap: ow.ly/2KXY50W6O5w #Space #Imidibaniso

It was so exciting to talk at @imidibaniso.bsky.social - and the paper that this talk was based on is published now so you can read further if you'd like 🚀 doi.org/10.1007/s114...

Drop into our session at #PCST this afternoon at 4.15 to think about how shifting the kinds of models we use to develop science communication knowledge shapes the possibility of those activities!

Hard to get eyes at this hour—please share if you can see this 🌹 This giving circle supports 6 families + a mutual aid project in Gz supporting a dozen more. Current needs are food, water, shelter. Commit to their survival. 502/750 by Friday 🚨 tinyurl.com/HopeGivingCi...

Today we’re highlighting the Abdelwahed family. Akram is doing his best to feed his five younger siblings & their mama among escalating massacres every hour…help them! ➡️ Click to give or find their individual link🌹This week’s goal: 1237/1500 tinyurl.com/HopeGivingCi...

My dear friend, beloved Mai, is a single mom who hasn’t eaten in FOUR days. This is incredibly urgent. We're making a transfer tomorrow. Can we meet this goal in the next day?? Help her eat. We’re matching 420. 155/420 (Chuffed should say 1,060) tinyurl.com/Help-Mai

We & friends in Gz launched a giving circle so they could get steady, DIRECT support to help their families survive. To work, this project requires boldness—even your boldest 5. 🌹EVERY dollar helps them eat. Last check, 1142/1500 for the week. tinyurl.com/HopeGivingCi...

Today we have "“B is for Baby” / B is for Bitumen" by Elysia French This post introduces French's recent article in the Mobilizing Museum Minerals issue of Museum & Society edited by @ellietheelement.bsky.social & @camillemarys.bsky.social niche-canada.org/2025/05/16/b... #envhist #oil #museums

🚨 Many of these families are in the areas covered by today’s—and yesterday’s—forced evacuation orders in northern Gaza 🚨 Help them survive. Every 5 is bold and I hope the folks who can will be bolder. We send every dollar ASAP, directly. They need us. tinyurl.com/HopeGivingCi...

If you’re passionate about Spark Space (you should be), I’ve set up a Linktree with two ways to give PLUS a printable flyer PLUS a contact form if you want to partner or sponsor PLUS an accountability sheet showing all transactions to the team. 💡 linktr.ee/sparkworkspace

Save Spark Space from closing 🚨 the short goal is less than 1 day’s operational costs to host 40+ students daily. Our contributions cover only 35%, the rest from the team’s own money which should go towards feeding themselves. Let’s do better. Be bold. chuffed.org/project/spar...

Please share 👋🏾 Our new giving circle supports a handful of families & a mutual aid project in Gz so they can get sustained support instead of stagnating for weeks. 🚨Give for 7x impact and help these families eat. And agitate in any other way you can. tinyurl.com/HopeGivingCi...

Please share 👋🏾 Every 2 hours I’m sharing our new giving circle supporting a handful of families in Gz so they can get sustained support. This is a way to help them survive. This isn’t hopeless. It’s our duty to reject hopelessness. Give for 7x impact: tinyurl.com/HopeGivingCi...

Just out! Our peer-reviewed critique of the Cass Review has been published by BMC Medical Research Methodology. Please read and share. We show that the Cass Review is fatally flawed and should not be the basis for policy or practice in transgender healthcare. link.springer.com/article/10.1...

Terrific article by Alex Witze (@alexwitze.bsky.social) on the shameful actions by LPI/USRA to remove community-generated DEI content: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

Bad news: the FAA has issued a decision to allow SpaceX to increase the number of dangerous, experimental rocket launches to 25 times per year from Boca Chica Beach. Elon Musk gutted the FAA and forced their hand. Here's our statement condemning the decision: sotxejn.org/2025/05/06/r...

Hi. Every 2 hours I’m sharing our new giving circle supporting a handful of families in Gz, including Remas & Toleen’s. These little girls, their siblings, & their parents are facing famine and rarely get our support. 408/650 & donors will match all 650! tinyurl.com/HopeGivingCi...

I hope you can match my 10 for sweet Fidaa. 😞

I see the excitement for Eurovision is building again, a chance to bring countries together right? Why then, is a country committing genocide and ethnic cleansing still welcomed? Are you OK with that? You should boycott Eurovision. www.independent.co.uk/arts-enterta...

Quite shameful that we’re stuck at 45/331 with only 22 hours to go. tinyurl.com/Help-Akram

Help this family live 🚨 this isn’t hopeless; you and I aren’t helpless. Maybe a share will help to reach someone who can give. Maybe 10 will encourage the next person to match you (ask them to!). It all helps. Last check 35/331 for food & water. tinyurl.com/Help-Akram

16 hours left 🚨 last check we only raised 40/360, a goal less than 1 day’s operating costs, during this 2-day drive… Families mostly only get income—to EAT—through remote jobs, which need steady internet. This space provides that. It’s simple. Be bold: chuffed.org/project/spar...

I have a new #STS chapter out this week as part of Asif Siddiqi’s edited collection “Cosmic Fragments” - a powerful speaking back to hegemonic concerns of the space field with an amazing group of colleagues whose thoughts I am thrilled to be in conversation with 🚀 upittpress.org/books/978082...

We didn’t make this goal. 280/350. In three days we couldn’t do that? I start a new drive in 30 minutes. Someone take this seriously and drop a 70. This isn’t even a bag of flour.

Hmmm, this is an interesting quick read. nasawatch.com/activism/era... Apparently, an LPSC abstract that I was a co-author on about the InSight Diversity and Inclusion Working Group and the entire session it was in has been disappeared from the LPSC online program. This is genuinely disturbing.

Excitingly, have had a second #STS & #SciEd paper published this week at CSSE - this one on the subversive potential of zines in space science education 🚀 📖 - rdcu.be/eiQbR

Really excited that the Introduction to our Special Issue at @societyandspace.bsky.social is out this week!! Julie and I couldn’t be more excited - keep your eyes peeled for an issue launch event coming soon, but for now get your teeth into the text itself 🚀🌍 journals.sagepub.com/eprint/5HRAZ...

This is so doable but this fund stagnates constantly. I hope folks can match me 25 or partway with a 5.

This is evil and awful and trans people everywhere deserve better than what's happening right now. And I think it's impossible to overtstate the pivotal role that JK Rowling played in mainstreaming hateful and false ideas about trans people. Every dollar you give her goes toward efforts like this.

“the flight was recreational, and its passengers are not space professionals but space tourists… If the flight proves anything, it is that women are now free to enjoy capitalism’s most decadent spoils alongside the world’s wealthiest men.” www.nytimes.com/2025/04/14/a...

A peevish and orgiastic display of feminism's defeat: the oligarch's concubine and the talentless bimbo singer mocking women's aspiration to seriousness.

I will keep posting about this because I want people to know it continues, and it is a lot more than the individual cases we see in the news. >1000 students at 170+ universities across 43 states now. Thank you @insidehighered.com and @amowreader.com www.insidehighered.com/news/global/...

We have 2 days to raise just half the rent for a single mom. Please share. This isn’t trivial. This isn’t hopeless. No one is ‘saving’ money. Shelter during daily mass forced displacement isn’t nothing. What else is there to say?

Really great to get to share the exciting work I’ve been doing with @camillemarys.bsky.social and Kopo Oromeng at @originalgcg.bsky.social EDI session on anti-colonialism today!

What kind of labour gets recognised, when we think about minerals in museums? Who do we involve in recovering and telling their stories? Helpful prompts from @ellietheelement.bsky.social in @originalgcg.bsky.social EDI symposium this morning, relevant to our thinking @sedgwickmuseum.bsky.social

Excited to be talking at this event on Wednesday - will be reflecting on my work that grapples with the possibilities of mineral and geological collections to engage with colonial histories! Registration link below, and all online!
