I like to think most people are already on board with this but having a baby in this country will radicalize you for sure.

The self-proclaimed pro-business party has punished a business because it voiced concern over openly bigoted legislation.
Breaking: Florida Republicans have passed a bill sought by Ron DeSantis to cancel Walt Disney World's special tax district in Florida after the company criticized the state's 'Don't Say Gay' law.

Hoy besé a un hombre, nos escondimos en la obscuridad de un parque para besarnos más, pero el odio a esos dos jotos terminó con un par de policías correteándonos, golpeándonos y extorsionándonos. Ahí en plena Roma Sur. En la ciudad más LGBTIQfriendly de México.

Idk who needs to hear this. Just because someone grated a hard boiled egg, doesn’t mean you have to as well!

This also means you do not need to create your own ‘grated egg’ recipe!

During lectures, I switched from asking "does anyone have a question before I move on?" to telling "someone ask me a question before I move on" and it is so simple but SUCH a game changer. #AcademicTwitter

My first book in English. This really happened. You have no idea how important this is. Writing a book in your second language. I still can't tweet in English though, de pouco em pouco.... Thank you @queer_screens @WSUPress @marie_sweetman

Fearmongering over bail reform isn't supported by the facts: Less than 1% of people released pretrial were re-arrested and charged with a violent felony offense. More from the @nyccja pretrial release dashboard: nycja.org/pretrial-release-d…

Are grades a truly valid way of measuring learning? @AniaKowalik11 discusses the ways grading can include items that "contaminate" whether we're *really* assessing learning (taking off points for being late, boosting scores for improvement over time). #RiceCTEWhatsNew

I’m sure many of you have heard that today there was a school shooting in Texas. But you may not know that yesterday two schools in the Bay Area were evacuated after receiving bomb threats. My sister works at one of those Bay Area schools. 🧵 1/6

Many of our public schools’ #teachers are paid unconscionably low salaries for the work they do and dedication they have for their students. Now on top of educating they also get to be stand-in therapists. Labor for which they are NOT compensated and NOT trained to do. 5/6

It’s time for the nation to again take a look at who it elects to protect its citizens. Texas if you’re upset today, vote for someone who WILL protect you AND will consider the impacts of their actions on the #Mentalhealth of their (& the nation’s) people. 6/6 #GunReformNow
