J'ai déménagé de X il y a plus que deux ans, aux fins d'arrêtez de subir l'environnement #toXic de #X. J'espère que l'appli https://t.co/r8WMwMpAhW retrouvera mes communautés sur #Mastodon.

I'm happy that my slowness to deactivate this account may help me find some more of my network in the #Fediverse.

I quit X over 2 years ago, but I'm hoping the @HelloQuitX #migration will help with the #GreatReconnection on #Mastodon. Find me there!

@Lexykin17 @CriticalCupcake @DOOM_ENBY I find it's down almost all the time now and am worried I waited too long to migrate. (I had wanted to take some time to decide on a new server.)

Twitter fam, thank you for helping me to find the family of the 9 year old girl from NJ who had the police called on her by her neighbor for collecting lantern flies. I connected with them & invited them to @yale for a Black girl led Science Tour! Yesterday—HISTORY was MADE (1/)

… and in the world.

In the grand scheme of things, even powerful leaders have a vanishingly small amount of power for a vanishing small speck of time, but when this power is used for good, you can contribute to better mental, physical, and emotional health … (21/22)

[Bill Higgins @BillHiggins]

Assume brilliance.

When you encounter a new person, especially a new employee, assume that they are intelligent, capable, and well-intentioned. (2/22)

[Collège des médecins du Québec @CMQ_org]

Avec la montée inquiétante des cas de virus respiratoires chez les enfants et le débordement des urgences pédiatriques, le Collège des médecins recommande à nouveau le port du masque dans les lieux publics afin de se protéger et de protéger les autres.

[Dr. Imogen R. Coe @ImogenRCoePhD]

@gwendoesscience I hate this false dichotomy. We can contribute in #STEM etc. & be activists, advocates, drive policy, etc. Excellence in science shld require evidence of +ve support 4 community. In my talks, I have slides of my #science & #EDI pubs so HQP esp. see doing both is possible & imp.

If I die on a city road without a protected bike lane, I don't want a ghost bike. I want a memorial bike lane. And if the city says it's not possible, I want people to advocate until it is.

3/4 2. Protect your respiratory tract from invading viruses🦠– keep up #handwashing and wear a good quality, well-fitting facemask when indoors, esp. if you can’t avoid being in crowded or poorly ventilated spaces.

The KEY question, I'm asked by students when I guest lecture about the #ClimateCrisis is 'but what can we do?'

So I recently rewrote my materials to try & tackle that question head on. Feel free to adapt them.

Buckle up - here's a LONG thread🧵about how we can fight back!

[Decolonial Solidarity @decolonialsol]

Activists in #Montreal took to the streets, marching from @mcgillu's RBC on campus branch and ending at @Concordia's.

@RBC has a habit of installing itself on campuses to fill its talent pipeline, and the unis love it.
