25% of cowboys were black, and the whole ranching tradition and the idea of the vaquero in the American West came from Mexico. Who's appropriating? https://t.co/H1kS6zCaB1

I resigned today from the German "African Studies Association" #VAD . They hold a workshop for their 50th anniversary reflecting on their history-without a single African speaker. I find this unacceptable&asked them to reconsider. They didn't see the need for this. So I am out.

I’m a man who can get pregnant. I’m not an anomaly. Even if trans ppl only make up 1% of the population there are 7 billion ppl on this planet. There are over a million of us out here. These anti-abortion laws effect men like me & non-binary folks as well. Don’t forget about us.

Great graphs in this article also, showing distribution of SAT scores relative to different demographic factors.

“Performance” should be considered a relative concept. This is an important, and better calibrated metric than race-based affirmative action. https://t.co/F6OR8xpXhA

I understand the intentions of those saying “my family came from nothing in Ireland/England/Germany” in an effort to create empathetic parallels

But the truth is that this isn’t so much about immigration from poor countries as much as it’s about immigrants being black & brown

@ELIMURO_ @fieldoperations but doing our best to keep these images from being co-opted by firms that should be paying models and photographers.

@ELIMURO_ @fieldoperations We're trying to get students to think more critically about representation and inclusion...

[NONSCANDINAVIA @NONSCANDINAVIA]

@ELIMURO_ @fieldoperations the project has been a lot of trial and error, starting with the open-source approach we took at first.

[NONSCANDINAVIA @NONSCANDINAVIA]

@ELIMURO_ @fieldoperations For sure, you're off the site. Sorry if this caused you any problems...

This is not about changing history, this is about choosing the history we celebrate. We shouldn't celebrate an ideology of hatred.
