the answer to the trolley problem is not to pick who to sacrifice, it’s to dismantle the system that led to an unsafe trolley crossing.

if any part of your morality strategy involves picking a group to let die on a hill, throw the entire strategy out. it’s wrong.

And, like, this resource might not exactly mean JOY per se, which is my main purpose on here and irl, but it IS a way for me to add more good to the world, so please consider sharing with people who plan events please and thank you 🤓

re: 'might' need updates: I'd guess it does because we're all learning new ways to be better; we launched this resource a couple years ago. Sisters in Crime had offered to keep it updated as part of their Equity Project and overall DEIJB work, and I'm no longer involved with the board of SinC

🖤 Sandra’s Evil Twin 🖤 MWAHAHAHAHA 🪓 @sgwong.com · 3h

Irregular reminder that this resource exists!
(my idea + I led the team to create it)

Industry-agnostic, with lots of important items to consider in making an event accessible & equitable, from speakers to sandwiches

Might need updates; still a good starting point
🔗 www.sistersincrime.org/page/CIR

screencap from the linked page:

"This resource (CIR) includes various guides and checklists to support organizers in creating equitable, inclusive events by embedding the principles of Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, Justice, and Belonging (DEIJB) from pre-planning through to post-event follow-up.

[logos for Crime Writers of Color, Disability in Publishing, Queer Crime Writers, and Sisters in Crime]

The CIR is an initiative springing from the Sisters in Crime Equity Project, in collaboration with Crime Writers of Color, Disability in Publishing, and Queer Crime Writers, and with additional review by KAMacLean Consulting.

In This Conference Inclusivity Resource:

We have created different pages to address Planning, Programming, and Accessibility. Resources and Additional Information are below. This resource is a living document, and will have additions and changes made to it regularly."

The most un-Canadian, parochial Premier is doing the classic conservative thing: pointing her fingers at others and blaming them for all the stuff she's doing.

Political Disaster: Smith calls Eby “UnCanadian,” “Parochial”

Danielle Smith embarrassed herself today. Her comments about Dave Eby were uncalled for.

BC residents will be furious.

Bye, bye pipeline.

We rewatched all of DS9 when we introduced our then-teen kids to the series and NOBODY could stand Ezri. I still can’t.
OF COURSE Jadzia was an impossible act to follow BUT ALSO they coulda leaned hard into that & given Ezri a cool arc. Instead we got another milquetoast counsellor blech
