AHC

Truer words never spoke

but is the road less traveled

Shame on you US hockey team for showing up at the White House. This tells us women that you don't care about your mother, your sister, your wife and you couldn't care less about the immigrants. So, from me to you, fuck off. Love from Canada.

The boys’ club: How Epstein’s influence shaped the exclusion of women in STEM In one email, an AI researcher suggested it’s “hard to be brilliant if you are worrying if you look fat or why another woman hates you.”

Good to see journalists scrutinizing “The Edge Network,” an intellectual circle of academic men who think that women are inherently inferior to men.

I believe O’Neill would be the second director in NSF history without a PhD, and the first without any sort of research background. (Eric Bloch, director from 1984-1990, was an engineer who worked at IBM.)

what a joy! I have no opinions and find think I've ever had STP but geez I love the nuance and commitment on display

but not too many pecans!

hey Chuck @schumer.senate.gov - be like Ed!

That was beautiful. Pure joy. A love letter. 🇵🇷🇵🇷🇵🇷

I loved that #BadBunny reminded us of the nations in the Americas during his halftime show at the #Superbowl. Diversity is our strength!

Barack Obama taught me one thing…

Yes

Holy shit in Berks County too. This article says ICE is planning to open 23 (TWENTY THREE) of these things. Are people gonna wake up or not. Christ Almighty you don't NEED to be wilfully stupid you can just get on the right side of history

In honoring the start of Black History Month, this James Baldwin quote kept coming to mind

Do you also think it represents history repeating itself today?

I am really angry about all of the scientists who cozied up to Epstein even after it was known who he was.

I am nearly as angry at how many people are justifying this as "they had to, it's how academia works"

NO IT FUCKING WELL ISN'T

Worth reiterating:

All my respect and more to academic women, especially full professors who’ve put up with this their whole careers.

I am genuinely in awe of you.

it doesn’t surprise me that the guys who have been linked to scientific fraud and the same ones trying to get close to Epstein and the women/girls in his circle.

consistent with the joke that we study what we lack (enter picture of a vision scientist with thick glasses)

Note the overlap of appearing in the Epstein files + questionable research practices

She's braver than every ICE agent and far right terrorist combined
