Please don't.
Please don't blame mental illness.
Please don't blame us because we don't blame back.
Instead, please ask.
Ask who we are, what we need.
Ask as though for once you care.
Ask what a trigger finger could do without a trigger.

Apparently I took video while in transit on the @TheJR from #Exp362 drill sites to Singapore. It’s amazingly relaxing to watch. #ocean #relaxation #sunrise

My super-awesome, very amazing partner is hiking the #PacificCrestTrail (#PCT). He’s writing a blog about the adventure. Check it out!

Plans, diapers, and tires—they’re all made to be changed.
However, I’m still not entirely sure how I ended up in the Reno airport.

Me a young woman of color: "academia is ruthless"
All men: "Shape up or ship out"
"Work harder"
"That's how academia is"
"You chose this"
"Industry is worse"
Listen I get that you don't want academia to change because its toxic culture is perfect for you but SIT DOWN.

Thanks, @LauraFayeTen, for another edifying Science in the Virtual Pub session! You are an amazingly resilient communicator. Thank you for standing up for the facts. I have lots of good ideas to bring to my future students! #scicomm

Academia: Wow, we're still struggling with bringing BIPOC into many areas of academia. Why?
BIPOC: Give us money? Few of us have generational wealth or savings & we're saddled with comparatively more student debt.
Academia: It's a mystery... Anyway here's a diversity workshop.

Hey faculty! As someone who just read 500 letters of rec (as grad admissions chair), I’m here to tell you that no one EVER uses the adjective “courteous” to recommend a white man. Please think more carefully about the gendered and racialized way you speak about strong students.

Underlying all of the issues with *that* Nature Communications paper we're all talking about: the authors judge "success" based very heavily on publication impact.
When will success in #academia also be measured by outreach, teaching, & placing importance on equity?

I love when Twitter makes things like this happen. Scotland is high on my list when travel becomes possible again and all the stars align. @SophieLeia271 and @callanbentley

I love this interview with Kerry Sieh where the interviewer asks “how did you get into geology?” and Dr. Sieh says first of all I like being outside, second of all I’m gay. relatable!!
happy #LGBTQSTEMDay to all. learn abt a queer geoscientist today. we’re out here! 🖤🤎💜💙💚🧡
ALT A screenshot of an interview w/ Kerry Sieh where he is asked why he got into geology and his answer is “first of all I had a lot of time to explore as a kid and second I’m gay.” It’s from an interview in earth magazine called “down to earth with Kerry Sieh”
