Fellow Faculty: Use your students' correct pronouns. Practice them in private. Make sure that singular 'they' rolls off your tongue as easily as 'quantum chromodynamics.' Your students need you to do this. You are at risk of losing students from your field if you don't.

@ATQ_TheMovie Other than Jamison Green, how many trans people were involved in making this?

[Elena Long @Elena_Long]

@ATQ_TheMovie Why does the text for this project spend half its time misgendering and dead naming him? It does not inspire confidence that you'll handle this well.

A lot of non-native folks want an easy place to donate to for #IndigenousPeoplesDay but I would encourage all of you to look at the #SettlerSaturday tag and give your money directly to native folks in immediate need.

This is SO MUCH more impactful than giving to orgs.

As the Trump administration removes healthcare protections for trans people and many of us again share stories of being turned away by doctors, it comes on the heels of many Black women talking about discrimination faced by doctors who won't listen to them and their pain.

@IBJIYONGI starting discussions that are now scheduled every 2 weeks confronting the ways in which I and others have been racist so we can better identify them and stop doing racist things; listening to the podcasts posted on https://t.co/SXhEaqvzTh; and confronting racism in ham radio

[Elena Long @Elena_Long]

@IBJIYONGI Spent the day mostly in meetings laying out how to create resources where racist incidents can be better raised, heard, and addressed without negative push-back to those who experienced/raised the issue;

@ECUScooterGirl @NightValeChat @Ologies @alieward Ooh, now I have a new podcast to listen to, thank you!!

There is nothing about this situation that is normal, and the best thing we can teach our students at this moment is compassion.

[Elena Long @Elena_Long]

For many students, particularly LGBT students with unsupportive families, being home for an extended period is not an environment for thriving in learning. As universities move to online teaching, be kind in your asks of students who can't focus, & those who don't have safe homes
