The Science Creative Quarterly

A place for all genres of science writing.

A few days ago, #Chewbacca was trending bc some Trump supporter stormed the #capitol dressed like a shaman, & I’m like “whoa, don’t call him Chewbacca! Chewie would never do this. Chewie would take the guy down, maybe even pull his arms off...” So yeah, I had to draw this...

Here's an excellent episode of the @citedpodcast looking at the intersectionality of police brutality, #environmentalracism, & #COVID19. Interviews with @DrBobBullard, @emorwee and @billmckibben in the mix, & definitely worth a listen!

There are data, figures
and science in racism.
But no compassion.

There are rules, guidelines,
policy in racism
But no justice.

There are words, inactions, brutalities in racism.
But no dignity.

There is still this:
