I've decided to ACTIVELY decouple from Twitter: Every day, I go back and DM at least 10 of my followers, telling them I've moved here and to follow me here instead (I remove them as followers after that DM). A number of them have set up accounts as a result.

Please do the same if you're more active here than on #Twitter That's how you can help the #twittermigration

Boost if you agree.

Women weren't allowed into Princeton's graduate astronomy program when Vera Rubin applied in 1948, so she attended Cornell instead.

Her groundbreaking work on galaxy rotation rates provided the first evidence for the existence of dark matter, a seminal breakthrough that led to the creation of a whole new field of astronomy.

Initially criticized for her theories, she was eventually awarded the National Medal of Science.

1869: Congress refused to seat Congressman-Elect John Willis Menard from Louisiana District 2 b/c he was Black

Today: SCOTUS approves extreme gerrymandered Louisiana map that gives Black people only 16% rep even though they’re 33% of voters

Systemic white supremacy alive & well.
