@Beyond100K is putting special emphasis on preparing & retaining #BIPOC teachers in our next phase as part of creating a sense of #belonging for students who have traditionally been excluded from #STEM opportunities. #CGI2022

Yes delete your period app. But also don’t arrange rides for people to get abortions on Facebook. Don’t google “where to get an abortion” if you live in Texas. Don’t go to a protest unmasked. The privacy violations that are coming go so much deeper than period apps.

@ruackerman Thank you for sharing. Heartbreaking.
Could the ability to use frozen embryos to have a family be decided by the government + your state?

A must-read from my friend @ruackerman
“As much as my decision — or, really, my inability to make one — has haunted me, I am now doubly haunted by the fact that these choices could soon be taken out of my hands.” Read more about happens to our embryos if Roe v Wade is overturned: nytimes.com/2022/06/18/opini…

This is such a complex issue even without Roe being on the line. And now -- @ruackerman breaks down how she and others are approaching what might soon be an even more complicated decision.

Fuck I feel this one in my soul. As someone who has embryos on ice that I’m not sure I’ll ever use

“I pay to store a collection of cells that we have no concrete plans to use because I can’t bear to let go of the possibility that those embryos represent,” writes @ruackerman. nyti.ms/3n4NeB6

“There’s a part of me that feels a twinge of relief at the idea of someone else making this decision for me,” writes @ruackerman. “But there’s a much larger part of me that feels enraged that the state would get to decide.” nyti.ms/39zYZMV

Watching Zoe Stuckless screaming - "I'm going to stand four feet from a fucking rapist, and no one is going to say anything?" - epitomizes rape culture.
The righteously furious person is treated like they're insane while the room full of people ignoring a rapist are "normal"

Come on, @Forbes. If your methodology produced only one woman out of the 100 most innovative leaders, obviously you should have challenged it rather than publishing it. forbes.com/lists/innovative-…

Dear @Forbes, I fixed your top 100 innovators list for you. It took me less than 5 minutes.
