HS student has poster accepted at a big conference. Poster session is on a Sunday pm. Conference won't waive reg fee for student (PI, etc., are paying their own full large fees), offers swap for "volunteer" service, which, well, student is a minor so can't just parachute them in to volunteer. So must pay (reduced) fee. What do y'all think about this?
Hi Mastodon peeps: Have you left academia for industry? Do you know anyone who has? I'm looking for people to chat to for a story #SourceSearching Please RT.

THE TERRAFORMERS comes out 1/31 which means you have less than 48 hours to pre-order the book (which really helps authors a lot). If you'd like it signed, order from @foliosf and 10% of proceeds from the pre-order go to the San Francisco Marin Food Bank. Folio ships everywhere in the United States. #books #bookstodon #scifi #mooseromance

All Tyre Nichols wanted to do was go home.

All Trayvon Martin wanted to do was go home.

DeSantis in Florida delivers the blueprint: Mobilize the coercive powers of the state to censor, ban, purge, intimidate; whip up a paranoid reactionary frenzy with the help of the rightwing media/propaganda machine to justify it all. That’s what they want to impose on the entire country.
PSA: what looks like flakiness to you may well be the shredded remnants of scrappy daily living, dust from an empty spoon drawer whose contents exigently went elsewhere, the shrapnel of shit hitting a fan you know nothing about. Consider it before judgment.

Alarming. And this kind of policy is already being considered by the UNC Board of Governors, which if implemented would be a huge problem for much of my current work in environmental justice and decoloniality.

The Plan to Dismantle DEI

Model legislation lays out how legislatures could outlaw public colleges’ efforts to attract and retain people of color and other marginalized groups.
