Asked my 5yo if she wanted a pic with Santa. She laughed and said she is not into pics with “random dudes.” Boundaries.

What’s the professional way to say “Are you fucking kidding me?”

When a dude you work with who *constantly* turfs work to women, ignores his PhD students, sits on no committees, and weasels out of teaching whenever he can (apologies to true Mustelidae everywhere) sends you an announcement about HIS NEW BOOK.

@tiffanyspadoni @PaigeWestNYC Ooh thank you for the term ‘weaponised incompetence’

@PaigeWestNYC I call this weaponized incompetence. It's funny how they can't do even easy stuff and then, *poof,* they have a new book coming out.

@BiancaBrijnath & @Gill_Livingston talking about how tailoring #Dementia #Communication for #CALD communities makes the resources better for everyone. @NAgeingRI @MovingPics_NARI @JoAntoniades @DementiaAus @ADNeT_Australia

I have had a lot of rejections recently - an invited media piece, two journal articles + an internal funding bid. I am sharing to normalise, not for sympathy. Feelings of failure + imposter syndrome are high right now, but knowing many academics feel the same helps keep me calm

Thrilled that this is out in -- Vital Topics Forum on Chronic Disasters -- and that I am part of this #NCD #chronicillness #sdoh #healthequity @hcsmSA @WitsSPH @MedAnthropology anthrosource.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/am…

The University: "42% of respondents rated themselves on the continuum between achieving and flourishing" The data: A majority of staff rated themselves as "surviving" or worse

I've just seen that disgusting cartoon that is both racist and misogynist published by a newspaper today. Given that much of what I treat day to day is the consequences of racism and misogyny, I'm sharing this link, not the cartoon. presscouncil.org.au/making-a-compl…

Peducle’s #2020 To be honest - she is living her best life... the hoomans are home all the time, she gets to join zoom work meetings, lots of walks, cuddles and kisses. The dreaded suitcase hasn’t made an appearance and she got 2 anti anxiety beds!!

My son, working on a high school biology assignment, just came and asked me if I knew anything about ethics ... I’ve literally been waiting for this day his whole life 😂😂😂
