Wow, this from @ysimpsonpower is powerful. Should be required viewing.

After all RGB has done in her life, she should have been allowed to rest at the end. I know the political garbage will hit me later but for now I'm just really sad that instead of retiring and living out the rest of her life in peace, she stayed in the fight through the end.

Many bike rides down Putah Creek and around Lake Solano. I've watched so many beloved areas burn in the past few years.

My view of the #LNULightningComplex Fire driving down Putah Creek Road near Lake Solano. @nbcbayarea

Profs teaching w/Zoom this semester who also use PPTs: download the latest Zoom update. Then you can select "use slides as a virtual background" & it makes your video a part of your PPT (rather than having your students need to manage two separate windows + shrunken slides).

@LayneScherer I think you just mash the Home button repeatedly and hope you have enough health left.

[Alyssa Borders @bordersa]

Hey, now that folks are listening to the pain of others, let's continue to push to #AbolishICE . Don't forget about all the awful stuff from before 2020 that we didn't fix.

We've got inertia. Get these kids out of cages.

Ladies and gentleman, shout out to this woman I found on YT that just showed me how to finesse Zoom and be able to share a ppt screen AND see my notes. RT to save a life. https://t.co/5DtRs2FCTK

In response to being sued:

"it’s just unfortunate he was not the one with the felony warrants,” said Valdosta Police Chief Leslie Manahan.

Well—I’m conflicted about RTing this, because it is very painful to watch. But if you can, watch to the end—where they realize—wrong guy.

ARREST BRETT HANKISON, JONATHAN MATTINGLY & MYLES COSGROVE FOR THE MURDER OF #BREONNATAYLOR

[Azie Dungey @AzieDee]

You mean the Mount Rushmore that’s on unceded Lakota territory that still belongs to them by US Treaty as held up by Supreme Court ruling in 1980?

[Alyssa Borders @bordersa]

Burn the whole system down.

A correctional officer beat a handcuffed inmate to death in a Florida prison, @MiamiHerald reports. The officer has been put on administrative leave, but has not been arrested.

The prisoner was serving a four-year sentence for stealing phone chargers and knife.

TW: violence against Black bodies
I'm disgusted but wholly unsurprised by the state-sanctioned violence that took #ElijahMcClain 's life.
It took nearly a year to hear his name & I'm livid that names need to be trending for justice to even be considered.

This conference will be cool. Plus I’m giving a talk:
*~How to Prepare and Teach an R Lesson~*

Psych students usually learn to code through informal apprenticeship, which perpetuates unequal access to coding skills. But you can fight that! And I can help!

[Alyssa Borders @bordersa]

@LayneScherer I had the exact same thought. Although if this is a heat map, the only the best would be blue.

[Elizabeth Ruiz @Fish_Ruizearch]

What's funny about white women profs getting mistaken for grad students is that they are still assumed to belong in that academic space.

For BIPOC, the police are called, students and profs are harassed for simply being in the building, and on and on....

[Alyssa Borders @bordersa]

@LayneScherer Me too! I'm from here ✋👈 (Flint)

[Alyssa Borders @bordersa]

@LayneScherer I can see "Yeah, No Police" really taking off in the Midwest. Along with "Ope! Lemme just get rid of those Police budgets for ya."

People like hearing about my research interests when I start talking about the role of West African funeral rites in Ebola outbreaks

They don’t like hearing about my research interests when I start talking about the role of American cultural aspects in the spread of COVID-19

last year i received UCSC's Chancellor’s Achievement Award for Diversity. this AM, i returned it to the chancellor's office. the Chancellor's response to the #COLA4all strike suggests UCSC admin doesn't value the lives and labors that built ethnic studies #spreadthestrike (1/2)
