The spliceosome is an epic fantasy novel I cannot put down. I am also a musician, artist, and poet. *Restore integrity to the Academy*

[Allyson Dill @UniverseCityRNA]

I vow to honor truth, to speak up on behalf of the integrity of academia and the safety of those therein, and to never resign myself to the idea that resistance is futile: academia is a standard to which we CAN hold ourselves. We are the academy, and we are accountable.

Allyship shouldn’t be rare. It should be the norm.

I’d be much happier—and healthier—if only it were.

I’ve lost count of how many times I’ve had to advocate for my dignity.

This weekend, I didn’t have to—because a friend did. Though a relatively trivial circumstance, it really impacted me.🧵

He watched as the bartender gave several free shots to the men at the bar, called him out as we left, and promised to report him. (And has.)

I didn’t have to advocate for myself—someone with more privilege did it for me.

@nmcq85 @BringTheSkillz @WKOW It was true already. You voted (if you did) to change “every” to “only a” US Citizen can vote. It fooled voters into giving them an away to use semantics to rob dual citizens of the right to vote.

[Allyson Dill @UniverseCityRNA]

@JoleeBeth @WKOW It was already true. What you are saying is a no-brainer changes the law from “every” to “only a” US citizen can vote. In other words, now a malicious semantics argument can prevent people who have dual citizenship from voting.

Worth the lengthy watch. I wish these practices were standard in #academia. The final chunk of the talk poignantly addresses power imbalances.

Whenever something I know is a blind spot for most people demonstrates itself in my life, I use it to help people understand. Stories increase the impact of uncommon knowledge.

To secure minor accommodations at a gathering, I disclosed my physical disability to the group. (1/?)

H. My story and above facts reveal the mindset of oppression. I went to a leader in the community and asked for a public apology, with a little blurb summarizing what they had learned online about ableism. She apologized for them (?), calling it gossip.

Do better.

G. Which of the following terms are least familiar to you?

Racism
Sexism
Homophobia
Transphobia
Ableism

Might that be the group you are most likely to unwittingly dehumanize?
