Conventional wisdom says motherhood should wait for tenure as before you land a permanent post, #academia is just not that family friendly🙁

When Americans watch the news and say things like "this isn't like us, we're not some third world country", I want you know that the US funded the dictatorship that took Eunice Paiva's husband. You *are* very much like this.

“It’s an undeniably powerful human drama, which also feels quite relevant to us considering the ongoing rise of fascism and dictatorship around the world.”

Seongyong Cho writes about the perennial staying power of I’M STILL HERE, especially given its recent release in South Korea.

Acho que esse feito aqui tem que ser uma prova de que Chorão deveria ser canonizado.

Não tirando o crédito do Mineirinho, mas só de terem deixado ele tentar isso já foi um milagre e só o Chorão seria responsável por tal milagre.

Happy 100th anniversary to Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin’s extraordinary thesis!

Happy birthday to astrophysicist Cecilia Payne-Gaposchkin (1900-1979), a trailblazer for women in #astronomy who discovered that hydrogen & helium are the most common elements in the universe.⁠ 🐡🧪👩🏼‍🔬🎢🔭

Maybe it’s time for European countries to review their new “affirmative actions to help white united statean academics” since now Europeans won’t be able to take academic posts in the US anymore.

Jo Wolff @jowolff.bsky.social · 19d

Looking to see if the new fee kills academic job opportunities in the USA. From the guidelines.

Eles vão tentar essa argumentação, mas não acho que vá colar com a esquerda, ao menos no primeiro turno. Visto a grande guinada do Lula 3 à direita, eu não voto de jeito nenhum neles no primeiro turno. A esperança é que tenhamos alguma candidatura real da esquerda.

Se o @pt.org.br não expulsar esses parlamentares do partido IMEDIATAMENTE, nós NÃO IREMOS ESQUECER! O partido perde qualquer legitimidade em criticar esse absurdo!

Ou expulsam esses caras ou vão estar no mesmo lado que eles. Não há meio termo.

Pergunta besta mas uma dúvida seria, camarada: se um deputado der um tiro em uma criança no meio da câmera, vai tb ser julgado apenas pela câmera? Onde é o limite?

Arthur Loureiro @cosmonist.bsky.social · 22d

Esse congresso dominado pela direita, que adora se eleger com a demagogia do "tem imposto demais no Brasil", ser contra isso só mostra que o imposto que eles tão reclamando é o imposto do rico, não da classe trabalhadora.

Se seu deputado é contra isso, eleja alguém que é a favor no ano que vem!

It would be great if you guys did some actual fucking journalism for once before saying some crap like that.

Brazil is NOT considering any amnesty for this guy. His very few supporters are trying but it’s unconstitutional .

He’s going to jail, either your king likes it or not.

Brazil’s supreme court finds Bolsonaro guilty of plotting military coup

Former president faces decades-long jail sentence for seeking to forcibly cling to power after losing 2022 election * Anatomy of a coup plot: why Jair Bolsonaro is on trial A majority of Brazil’s supreme court judges have voted to convict the country’s former president Jair Bolsonaro of plotting a military coup, leaving the far-right populist facing a decades-long sentence for leading the criminal conspiracy. Justice Cármen Lúcia Antunes Rocha ruled on Thursday that Bolsonaro – a former paratrooper who was elected president in 2018 – was guilty of seeking to forcibly cling to power after losing the 2022 election, meaning three of the five judges involved in the trial had found Brazil’s former leader guilty.
