“Ringing the #RapeCrisis helpline was one of the most life-changing events in my life. I got to be listened to, heard, believed. I was minded in a very skilful way” - rape survivor, Martin Vernon, speaking on Ireland AM >> www.rapecrisisireland.ie #SupportingSurvivors #EndSexualViolenceNow

Pleased to see my sexuality and gender scholar peers (as editors) taking this stance, and challenging the political encroachment on academic freedom under the current US Administration. @cygraham.bsky.social & colleagues 👏✊ Statement on the Importance of Sexuality and Gender Research

Sexual health research grants (HIV and STIs) are dropping like flies. HIV research is especially being targeted. The field is being decimated and I can't begin to explain how bleak the mood is, and the fear of what comes next after this #IDSky #HIVSky #SaveHIVFunding

Why academia is sleepwalking into self-destruction. My editorial @brain1878.bsky.social If you agree with the sentiments please repost. It's important for all our sakes to stop the madness academic.oup.com/brain/articl...

‼️ A pregnant woman or new mother dies every two minutes across the 🌐 – and this is only the tip of the iceberg, as many more are in serious danger. Risks include infections, unsafe abortion, haemorrhage and suicide due to post-natal depression.

I recently read a book with a "disaknowledgements" section, one of the best and bravest things I've ever read. We need to publicly call out people who bully and abuse people in academia.

If humans are ‘bundles of habits,’ can we take control of them?

Probably this is the biggest of all their hubrises, and they will pay a dear price for it.

I'd probably die of withdrawal symptoms if i couldn't eat any more junk food 🙈 still would like to see this globally & for an extended period, especially the #BoycottAmazon bit! #24HourEconomicBlackout

“I have even been told to tone it down, and that this is how it is, and it’s a rite of passage. The fear of speaking out is huge, but I don’t accept that this is a rite of passage – it is a hiring choice.“ TCD PhD student @conorreddy95.bsky.social www.irishtimes.com/ireland/educ...

Excellent summary of #enshittificafion

Sorry for being a party-pooper but I became a scientist because I wanted to research things and not to “initiate and sustain a movement that engages diverse stakeholders in collaborative efforts towards impact.” #AcademicBullshit #selfpromotion

Not sure i can trust my eyes anymore, but it seems ‘females’ are banned but ‘males’ not? Maybe it's a gentle poke to make more research on #toxicmasculinity.
