Honored to have had the chance to moderate this pedagogy panel earlier today w/ Doug Davis @Eilonwy21 @petesands . Great discussion of race & science through the lenses of teaching, OERs, accessibility, empathy, affect ... and much more. So generative! @CityTechSF #CityTechSF

@bigvorch @SunjeevBery @DanielLubetzky You know who has always claimed “there is no genocide” in all cases of genocide in history? Those committing the genocide.

[Sadia Reza @Eilonwy21]

@c_cgottlieb @SunjeevBery @DanielLubetzky Lol I’m sorry are you illiterate? Jewish populations settled in Israel since its founding in 1948-ILLEGAL settlements under international law, achieved by ethnic cleansing of Palestinians. But yes let’s use this statistic to promote a false conclusion about Arabs instead🙄🙄

@muniknack @AmrAlsiyabi @Fx1Jonny When will humanity start acting like this? When will Americans? 🙄🙄

[Abby Martin @AbbyMartin]

I keep thinking how crazy it would be if an Arab country kept 2.3 million Jewish people in a cage, half children, cut off their electricity & water then indiscriminately bombed them. Beyond comprehension the anti-Muslim bigotry that makes the world applaud this as justified

ABOVE ALL, I am looking for #ownvoices stories and books from POC / marginalized creators. We need more diverse stories. Period. I will do anything and everything I can to make sure more people, especially children, are represented in published books. #MSWL

@careyfblankensh Hi Carey! I just queried you yesterday for a #cozyfantasy set in Persian/Bengal world featuring a calligrapher heroine joining a ragtag family called The House of Wisteria: A found family adventure with #neurodiversity rep & #ownvoices story. Thanks! 😀

[Sadia Reza @Eilonwy21]

@aamnaqureshi_ At first I thought you were talking about being shocked by the twists in your own book every time and I started laughing so hard imagining that 😂😂😂

[Sadia Reza @Eilonwy21]

[Sadia Reza @Eilonwy21]

@RSaginor @EastCoastKyy_ Police jobs literally depend on arresting enough people to fill a monthly quota - meaning it gives them a monetary incentive to arrest people EVEN IF THEY ARE NOT COMMITTING A CRIME. So when you talk about “high crime rates” it’s not always accurate, esp in black communities

[Sadia Reza @Eilonwy21]

@RSaginor @EastCoastKyy_ ...until they began to realize that police were not designed to protect them, but criminalize and abuse them. Please try to understand that your experience with the police does not speak for the reality of other entire communities (3/3)

[Sadia Reza @Eilonwy21]

@RSaginor @EastCoastKyy_ But other communities’ experiences with the police are the complete opposite. They too, may have believed once that the police are there to protect them, and yet over and over again they were treated in the opposite way (2/3)

[Sadia Reza @Eilonwy21]

@RSaginor @EastCoastKyy_ What you don’t understand when you say “we need good police to protect our families & communities” is that those police have always only protected white communities and families. You may not see the discrepancy bc YOU have always felt protected by them. (1/2)

[Sadia Reza @Eilonwy21]

@UnderoathBand THANK YOU so much Underoath. I literally went to go check if you guys were speaking out on this and I am so glad you are ❤️
