That moment when work colleagues argue that "blacklist" and "whitelist" are just words and don't mean anything....

Terminology, Power, and Inclusive Language in Internet-Drafts and RFCs

This document argues for more inclusive language conventions sometimes used by RFC authors and the RFC Production Centre in Internet-Drafts that are work in progress, and in new RFCs that may be published in any of the RFC series, in order to foster greater knowledge transfer and improve diversity of participation in the IETF. It is important to note that this is not standard, it does not represent IETF consensus, and should not be misconstrued as anything other than the authors' views.

BBC News - UK scientists tackle the taboo subject of periods in polar research
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-66659741

Certainly, menstrual freedom should extend to all areas of Earth, but especially extreme and pristine environments like the Artics. However, as important as this issue is, every stakeholder in the #scientificResearch pipeline should be as, if not more, concerned about #SexualHarassment. If #scientificResearch methodology concerns itself with strict avoidance of the smallest chance of #unconciousbias, then that same #methodology should concern itself with the freedoms of all practitioners in the environment in which #science operates, no? #SexualHarassment should not be tollerated anywhere, and the Artics are no exception. If you can't be responsible for your libido without being a #letcher, then you shouldn't go to the Artics. You should go to #therapy.

Yet another argument for more #female lead scientists and administrators. #Scientists, as the educated elite, should be setting an example for others!

Dozens of humans will die today when their small boats get into trouble crossing the English Channel, the Mediterranean, etc.
Nobody cares about them. Tumbleweeds.

But 5 rich idiots in a submarine?

Some casual racial stereotyping? Guess which photo is the beginner and which is the expert.

A 3-year-old video, but also a classic clip of Akala about youth violent crime and the massive issues we have with racism and unconscious bias.

@OpenRightsGroup #AgeVerification collection of personal date also has potential to herd/restrict #OldFolks too, but then @OpenRightsGroup knows that and about #UnconciousBias, right?
@tojo2000 #UnconciousBias and all sorts of other #Biases are the way humans distract/delude themselves about inequities in society, including their own. #CheckYerPrivlege
PS: I was just thinking that maybe why I default to spelling it #privledge with a 'd' (like it's a precipice) is maybe because it is! Pull y'all selves back from the brink of #GroupThink...
Really interesting reading - what happens when you say No. And why organisations have to identify Non-Promotable Tasks and look at how they allocate them. #WomenInScience #Inequality #GenderEquality #UnconciousBias

Saying ‘no’ in science isn’t enough

When women refuse requests to do unrewarded tasks, another female colleague often gets asked instead.
