I was in a meeting where the Dean said, as they’ve said before, “we’re going to have to do more with less” and I replied “or maybe we just do less with less” and the room got really quiet. I think about that sometimes.

[Dr Amanda Moehring @FlyBehaviour]

@JohnStinchcombe Oh wait, I’m blocked too. 😂

[Dr Amanda Moehring @FlyBehaviour]

@JohnStinchcombe Omg you got blocked for that? That’s actually pretty funny. And sad.

[Dr Amanda Moehring @FlyBehaviour]

@JohnStinchcombe @RadMothering Her response to basic facts is ‘if you say so, lol.’ The kids in that homeschool are going to have a rough go later on if they try to make their way out into the real world. Sigh.

[Dr Amanda Moehring @FlyBehaviour]

@RadMothering You are not taxed without representation. Your government representatives don't evaporate when you homeschool (that you don't know this is alarming).

You are also literally proving my point. The cost of education is more than the cost of school supplies. Include those.

[Dr Amanda Moehring @FlyBehaviour]

@RadMothering You used a dishonest representation of costs of education, where you are providing all of the labor and facilities for free. How about you address that before changing the topic?

[Dr Amanda Moehring @FlyBehaviour]

@eyeonthefly I’m really bummed that I’m out of town and will miss it! It’s been such a joy watching all of your accomplishments throughout your PhD.

Folks focus on the lack of action of Democrats, but the utter spinelessness of Republicans is even more grotesque.

FYI - This is NOT rescinding the funding freeze, just rescinding the memo itself. The funding freeze is still in full effect. What a mess.

I need people to understand how difficult it is to get an NIH grant. You spend months writing a proposal, following strict guidelines that include a detailed multiyear budget, bios of everyone on your team, plans for participant safety & ethical conduct. Then you send it off -1/n

Cis-male faculty at Canadian Universities, have you ever called out sexism witnessed by colleagues in real time? Willing to share anecdotes about the context even if you can’t share names? Working on a story about gender equity for @UA_magazine. Please reach out and RT!

It’s wild to me that people think a gun would have made this situation better. It was scary, but nobody got hurt. If a gun was involved one of those two men, or both, might be dead. Real life isn’t a staged movie set.

The 2nd Amendment exists for this very reason.

Hear me out. Europe wants to stop buying oil from Russia. Canada wants to stop selling oil to the US. …

[Dr Amanda Moehring @FlyBehaviour]

So, five years ago my husband died. This is what my teen (lovingly) got her new stepdad. 😂

[Dr Amanda Moehring @FlyBehaviour]

Ok, except calling women’s ability to say no to men a “power dynamic difference” is peak incel.

[Dr Amanda Moehring @FlyBehaviour]

@DamianTysdal @JoyceCarolOates No, it's "won't show actual data and thinks a fox news is data" I'm done here play.

You don't seem worried about those boy children having surgeries mutilating their bodies to remove breast tissue. You're not concerned for children, you're just anti-trans.

[Dr Amanda Moehring @FlyBehaviour]

@DamianTysdal @JoyceCarolOates A fox news interview is not data. Even if these numbers were true (which I doubt) this is ~750 per year. Nowhere near your fear-mongering number of 14,000. You start with a made-up number then cite fox news as your proof. So I'm done here.

[Dr Amanda Moehring @FlyBehaviour]

@Rationalist69 @phamnuwen2 @wesyang @JoyceCarolOates Look at the pretzels you are twisting yourself into to ignore the top doctors.

[Dr Amanda Moehring @FlyBehaviour]

@DamianTysdal @JoyceCarolOates There are only ~250 mastectomies and ~50 genitalia surgeries per year on <18yo. The rest of the "gender affirming care" surgeries are boys who want their (male) gender affirmed through breast reduction.
Here's some actual data: https://t.co/CbUJX05Wjo
