Beneath all the cries of “ban their phones” lies a more sinister truth: They fear what happens when Queer kids find each other, when their connections mean the strength to survive, and their community gives them power to thrive - A mum of two kids with phones

Folks have been telling me they’ve noticed I’ve gotten “a lot more political” on social media this year. Of course I have. The circumstances have gotten nightmarishly worse, and the consequences of inaction and staying silent infinitely more obvious. Everyone needs to get “a lot more political.”

"it's a giant wake-up call that we have gaps in our public health infrastructure." Is it though? I feel like those who have been pushing the science denialism narratives driving these changes are specifically and vocally opposed to the concept of being 'woke up'. www.cbc.ca/news/health/...

New glasses! I can see right again! *mind the scruff, I'm letting everything grow in for Movember.

Happy Inuit day!

I am older than gender markers on passports! How do you regulate gender? By making it a form of government ID. It has nothing to do with state security, only regulation

Watson was not some unique genius. He happened to be in the right place at the right time Science is a communal effort. The structure of DNA would have been discovered eventually What actually slows scientific progress is institutional barriers that stop women and POC from becoming scientists

Watson was deeply influential to me as a genomicist, but not how you may assume From stealing Rosalind Franklin's lab notes to his frequent sexist & racist bioessentialist comments later in life, he showed how the scientific community would still worship a terrible person Don't idolize bad people

November 8th marks Intersex Day of Remembrance. Intersex Day of Remembrance is a day to remember those who are no longer with us and highlight issues that the Intersex community face. We stand in solidarity with our Intersex siblings, team members and supporters! #IntersexDayOfRemembrance

He was a terrible person. Many scientists knew this and still named buildings after him, still invited him to conference dinners. They should be reminded of this now.

just want to remind everyone again that zohran is the one cis candidate i am aware of that had his platform on trans rights written by trans people. i think that matters

If you take the time to read the whole Gates memo (which I did), the bulk of the content was mostly solid and encouraging. Really! It was the FRAME that was off--very off, from the first line. And when your framing is off, then how you make decisions and set priorities is off. THAT'S the problem.

Long after the Halloween season has ended, some Great Lakes’ invasive species remain a scary sight: blood-sucking parasites with suction-cup mouths, thousands of rotting fish carcasses washed ashore and sharp mussel shells that puncture the feet of beachgoers ☠️ www.greatlakesnow.org/2024/10/grea...

The first ISNBS symposium is this weekend! There will be three flash talk events open to the public where nonbinary researchers from across scientific disciplines will present their work, in addition to closed sessions for members only. See you there! 🧑‍🔬

"The chatbot said to my son, 'Why don't you send me some nudes?'" said Nasser. "I was at a loss for words. Why is a chatbot asking my children to send naked pictures in our family car? It just didn't make sense." www.cbc.ca/news/investi...

I'm looking forward to hearing about everybody's work this weekend at the International Symposium of Nonbinary Scientists! I'll be presenting a recent paper (www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...) in the Social Sciences, STEM Education, and Local Organizing session!

We have to absolutely hammer this home: Science suffers without the values embedded in DEI 🧪

🎃 Checking your chest isn’t scary.. so let’s check ours this Halloween, with help from some pumpkins!

It's all confirmed now, I will be making my drive back home from Nova Scotia to Ontario in December and will be staying in the Soo for the foreseeable future (unless I find a job elsewhere). If any Great Lakes folks are interested in collaborating on something, the New Year should be a great time!

What are Invasive Alien Species (#IAS) and how is this issue being addressed under the Convention on Biological Diversity? 🎥 In this interview, @unbiodiversity.bsky.social Programme Management Officer Marianela Araya explains what to expect from discussions at #SBSTTA27 in Panama.

We are compiling a list of scientific societies with public statements denouncing bioessentialist claims that sex and gender are strict binaries If your organization has publicly shown support for transgender, nonbinary, and intersex people, please let us know! Below is a thread of statements:

Sleep is a biological necessity, and sleep deprivation has real physical, psychological, and social consequences that need to be taken seriously. The way our society treats it as slothful to sleep according to natural rhythms (including midday naps and variant chronotypes like night owls) is evil.

I expect transphobia when I'm out and about, but it's just a bit too much to deal with it from the nurses taking my blood. Like, can I just get my healthcare and go? I'm tired, y'all.

Don't engage. Just block. They want to push their rage bait on here. Don't give them the satisfaction. bsky.app/profile/did:...

Whoop, whoop! The new queer wildlife documentary 'Second Nature,' narrated by the inspirational Elliot Page, will premiere in New York on Saturday. 🐠🏳️‍⚧️🐧🌈🐘 It looks awesome; check out the teaser.

Just got my covid and flu shots together and now I'm lying around feeling like a big fussy baby.

Erin did great work with this one.

It looks like I may be moving back to Sault Ste Marie in December. I missed being on the Great Lakes, so it will be nice to be back!

The trailblazing transgender rights activist Miss Major has passed away at the age of 78. Miss Major was a lifelong organizer and participant in the ballroom scene. She took part in the 1969 Stonewall Riots and was injured by the police — but she kept fighting.

The documentary I made with Miss Major 10 years ago is on Vimeo on Demand. If you want to spend some time with her on screen tonight and learn some abolitionist trans history while you're at it, it's free to rent with the code "shinebright" vimeo.com/ondemand/major

Miss Major has passed away. We've lost an icon for the ages. Rest in power.

Miss Major Griffin-Gracy passed away today according to the House of GG. She was a veteran of the Stonewall rebellion and a lifelong organizer for the safety and dignity of trans people, sex workers, and the incarcerated. She came from the same generation and milieu as Marsha and Sylvia. She was 78.

We honor the legacy of Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, a fierce protector of our collective freedom. Our hearts are with her loved ones and all who carry her vision forward. "We will honor Miss Major forever." - @imarajones.bsky.social

Two paths diverged in a wood, and I– I took the one more traveled by; Because the wood is still a full ecosystem and leaving the maintained path can damage it, Also I don't want ticks or wet socks

Is your org interested in applying principles of diversity, equity, inclusion, + accessibility but not sure how to get started? Do you need someone to facilitate a workshop with your community to discover their needs and priorities, or give educational talks? inclusivescience.ca/equity-diver...

Lol the Nobels can't even acknowledge women's contribution to discovery. But sure let's acknowledge The Machines.
