This is your regular reminder that the #US Bill of Rights applies to all persons in the United States, regardless of #immigration status.

Starting to teach myself #Webflow as it seems to have the most customizability for me in terms of free-use website makers. In my newly-born postgraduate life and job search, I feel like now is the time to have a portfolio that doesn't look like it came out of 2018!

Any other Webflow or #website or #portfolio experts have any advice or favorite bits to share about how you use Webflow? Or your personal website in general? 🙂

Some alt-right embarrassment news:

Ben Shapiro, transphobic podcaster and long-time advocate of LGBTQ+ genocide, recently said that "nuclear conflict would certainly not be off the table" in justified actions by Israel's against Palestine. Even his own fans are not happy at his blatant encouragement of genocide; 9.2K like 14K dislike ratio and comments show examples.

Update from my long Mastodon hiatus:

Dissertation has been submitted. I have moved back across the world.

I'm hesitating to talk about the results of my dissertation research and how it relates to genocide studies in queer sociology. Although it is a very pertinent topic right now, I'm not yet happy with the quality of the paper and I don't want to talk about a badly written study before I try to do a little better.

Hope everyone in #AcademicSociology #AcademicChatter is in good health!

Recent murderer followed accounts like Matt Walsh and JBP.

It still hurts my heart to be validated in this way. When I'm trying to demonstrate how violent these influencers' rhetoric is, and then seeing a murder tied to the literal genocidal rhetoric that I'm discussing. I wish that I was wrong, because adding more examples to my dissertation as I work on it means that more lives have been lost.

I will never forget the academic staff in my life who have emphasized how irrelevant and unimportant my academic career is when put into the context of my life, mental and physical health, and the universe as a whole.

It is the reminder I need when my research takes the biggest toll on me.

To my #sociology and social science #research -ers:

Is there a "most ethical" or "more ethical" way to go about publishing your research? Are there journals that are better/worse, or more/less ethical than others? If so, which journals? Is there anything researchers should always avoid in publishing?

Would love to know your thoughts!
