This is a great thread. So much good advice here. πŸ‘‡
Night owl thread. Not long ago, I finished my 3-year term on a national committee with the worst acronym, the Advisory Committee on Equity, Diversity and Inclusion Program (ACEDIP). It's pronounced AY-suh-dip. (I died a little inside every time I said it.) chairs-chaires.gc.ca/program…

Not on here a lot, but need to vent because today a job applicant told me that although I was surely very busy, if I had any positions available could I please let him know. I said 'Honestly, I have so many e-mails but our positions are advertised in Uni Website' (1/4)

Then he proceeded to say 'do you actually know how to spell my name? do you have pen and paper at hand?'🚩 Bless his heart. I said <insert sarcastic tone here> "I'm sure so many years of Education will help to get this right" (3/4)

Moral of the story is: If you are applying for any position just be respectful. Or simply, just be FREAKING RESPECTFUL in any aspect of your life. Jesus. Beggars belief that we need to spell this out. So much to unpack from that convo.🫳🎀 (4/4)

The crushing level of expectation on women on all fronts is relentless...never thin enough, beautiful enough, smiley enough, ladylike enough, assertive enough, good enough [insert long list here] 🀒<sighs>
According to some surveys the expectation that they should be thin is learned by girls as young as six. The tragedy is that there is no escape

At what point it becomes acceptable to give alcohol to your 6 year old to get them to sleep after WEEKS of one cold after another and them being up the whole night, coughing and with bunged up noses? #AskingForMyself

Having a meeting where you had a good idea/made a good point to then have a man repeat it/rephrase it only to have another man to say 'excellent idea bro' is getting old. I didn't have it in me to fight back this time. #Exhausting

This is an open letter to the planetary science community and beyond about my dreadful experiences at University College London's Mullard Space Science Laboratory 2017-22. I cannot recommend ANY colleague work or study at UCL. The text is available here: docs.google.com/document/d/1…

What a load of nonsense πŸ‘‡. *BUT quick fix* πŸ₯ <drum roll> Let's say said Professor committed murder to *avoid* becoming Department Chair... Very happy for the writers to take my idea and run with it.

Sorry, but doesn't #Twitter have a board of directors? and can't they actually do their job and hold this man to account? He thrives on public controversy and antagonism like the real 'twot' he is. He's getting his kicks doing all this. #vile
