It’s the coolest that I just texted this meme to my first-year pscyhology major kiddo, especially after she read to me the draft of her paper on Durkheim 😭

I flipped over to Fox “News” for a sec in the car, and it’s WILD to listen to all the frantic dismissing they’re currently doing of a pedophile and his orange bestie.

Imagine being in a place where you feel so compelled to condone such vile, gross actions.

Whitewashed tombs, the lot of them

In Monrovia, California, protesters are purchasing 17¢ ICE scrapers from Home Depot and immediately returning them to create long lines and slow down the entire store. Their aim is to disrupt sales and convey a message opposing ICE raids occurring in their neighborhood.

I know several of the women who were harassed by this guy. They had real courage to testify. He engaged in serious professional retaliation against women.

This needs to end. I've seen how many people curry favor with known sexual harassers and how the worst can still manage to leap from job to job.

Academia is full of bullies, yes — but there’s even more people in higher ed who condone, support, or elevate these abusive people

The question I always ask myself is how much longer can I stand to be a part of such a system? because it’s getting worse, and I am getting tired (and more & more sad)
One of the giants of social psychology was a serial sexual harasser.

This new report reveals how Miles Hewstone touched, bullied, and sexual harassed numerous women during his 18 years at the University of Oxford. It's amazing how often bullying and sexual harassment go together in academia.

I'm giving a mini-talk this afternoon on a Canvas hack,

so please enjoy this last slide I'm using, featuring a pic of a VERY HAPPY me, holding a IRL tumbleweed.

I will never not be thrilled seeing these in person, and not just on cartoons
