#Netflix's tagline for the movie 'It' could just as well be a summary of the US refugee experience...

Climate scientists just said the failure to tackle global warming is because democracy is rigged by capitalists. You didn't hear about it🧵

actors are on strike, writers are on strike, teamsters are on strike, hotel employees are on strike, grad students are on strike, health care workers are on strike... can we realize there are deep systemic issues in this country yet

@LampLighterBot @Nonono90832757 @crypt0potamus @williamlegate @GJussaume @StevijoPayne Taking the question in good faith and actually coming through with the evidence... True King/Queen behaviour. 👑

A reminder that Elsevier made $10.5 BILLION in 2022 from selling your academic journals and articles behind paywalls, and make more profit than Amazon, Google, and Apple every year…

And paid the academics who wrote the articles $0
And paid the reviewers of the articles $0

Today is #WorldOvarianCancerDay. I was expecting to be in #Melbourne as an @ocrfaustralia Community Ambassador, talking about my #ovariancancer experience. I was also going to be modelling the 2023 @witcheryfashion 'White Shirt', with all funds going to #ovarian #cancer #research

“Both sides are crazy” isn’t a neutral or impartial position when one side is arguing for the oppression and elimination of marginalized people and the other side is arguing for letting people live their lives in peace. It’s just a callous attempt to evade moral integrity.

[Katie Mack @AstroKatie]

Initiating a “debate” about the rights and lives of oppressed and marginalized people to prove to everyone that you’re a supremely rational impartial being focused only on The Science is, in fact, astonishingly cruel.

[Nina Turner @ninaturner]

“People are lazy, get a job”
-Should that job earn a living wage?
“No, get better skills”
-Should that education be free?
“No, work your way thru school”
-So that job should be more than a living wage?
“No, less than a living wage”

America: where the bootstraps are unaffordable

I don’t hate Mr. Beast. I don’t particularly care about Mr. Beast. What I hate is a system where good deeds are only done if they’re profitable, where people are forced to rely on the unreliable benevolence of the rich because they have no other way of having their needs met.

[ADHD Designer 🟣👩🏻‍💻 @ADHDdesigner]

Not only is it possible to have ADHD even if you got good grades in school, but it's likely you’ll suffer longer without support or treatment because the people in your life assume that anyone who is smart can't suffer from ADHD.

BREAKING: we’ve just received costings that legalising cannabis will generate $28 billion!! That’s enough to build affordable homes for 280 000 people or raise jobseeker by $80 a fortnight.

Let’s legalise it.

@seashell_bee_ That's awful, I'm sorry to hear it... 😞

[Julia Grzymkowski, PhD @JKGrzymkowski]

What I wish someone had told me as I started my PhD: While you're completing your various job duties (bench work, writing, teaching, etc), focus on how they make you FEEL (joy, dread, curious, etc)

[Academic Exit @academic_exit]

PhDs: your dissertation topic is less relevant to finding a role outisde of academia than your *skills*.

Here's a 🧵 on how to translate skills you already have into corpspeak, including bullets which I used to describe my PhD work in my first corporate resume:

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Three multibillionaires now own more wealth than the bottom half of America – 160 million Americans.

Don’t tell us we can’t afford a wealth tax on the super-rich.

[Howl Huxley @Howl_Huxley]

Denied their voice, their future... 💔

[Shabnam Nasimi @NasimiShabnam]

Girls crying in agony as they’re told that they will have to leave the university & go home as the Taliban have BANNED female university education in Afghanistan.

Painful to hear. How can we sit idly by as millions of girls are denied their human rights.

[Howl Huxley @Howl_Huxley]

Capitalism devours.

Hate to break it to you but when the richest people on Earth tell you the real problems are pronouns and wokeness they are trying to distract you from something
