Right-wing pro-Israel propaganda is bad but far more pernicious are mainstream American media outlets like the NYT that continue to portray an asymmetric slaughter rooted in a settler-colonialist apartheid state as a tragic conflict between two sides.

palestinians are reminding us that decolonization is not abstract. it is material. it is violent. it is not popular, it will be resisted and debated by the entire structures of the monstrous colonial world. and it is the only way forward, and it is the only path of life.

finished relistening to campaign 1 of @NADDPod and completely forgot about the song emily wrote and everyone performed at the end of ep 100 and now i’m weeping

girls will say “let’s get coffee” then literally walk 12km together without noticing and then be late for book club @Maddie_JC

We estimated parameters characterising the initial spread of COVID-19 in Canada! I couldn't have asked for a better group of people to publish my first paper with ❤️🦠

Just cause the day is almost over and I was feeling bad cause of vaccine side effects doesn’t mean I wasn’t gonna drop a video today

[Jenn Bontje @JennBontje]

I would also like to acknowledge that there are already quite a few people in STEM that already look like me (white, femme presenting). Lots of work still needs to be done to diversify science, and much of that lies with systemic issues that need immediate resolution.

Happy International Day for Women & Girls in Science! As many of you may know I am a coordinator with @GirlsInScience, today we are promoting diversity and representation in science.
Here are some videos of me doing science through the years.

Plus a bonus video of me ATV-ing to a job location in the bush, because it was just so fun!

@elizamccoll Father of this, father of that. OK we learned all this in undergrad! Give us some SPICE now

As someone who hasn't had any formal (university level) arts training/education, this really resonated with me. Having a place to create all I want without the scrutiny of other as been extremely pleasant. Would recommend giving the full ep a listen! 4/4

I am currently creating a homebrew world, and as a first time DM/GM, been watching lots of YT. In this vid, Brendan poses the question "What the purpose of a setting, and what is important to you about a setting and representing it?" Mercer's response: 1/4

[Jenn Bontje @JennBontje]

But they still want to create something that feels their own [...]. And being able to create your own homebrew world that doesn't require it to be legible by other people, just understood by you [...] that in itself is a very kind of wonderful and cathartic act of creation." 3/4

hey @AkeliusCanada what the hell is a vertical extension and why do you want to renovict people in a pandemic? people are working from home now more than ever and you think this is a good idea? stop putting profits over people #toronto #COVID19Ontario

[Jenn Bontje @JennBontje]

imagine being in a video call for work and all you can hear is drilling and hammering from 7am-7pm six days a week... not to mention toronto’s housing market is already whack and so many people have lost their incomes due to covid-19, make it make sense
