Just three south asian women, talking about how they deal with the bombardment of unrealistic beauty standards and practicing self love. It was especially refreshing to talk to a model who was so honest about the reality of the beauty industry. Full episode here: youtu.be/20v1rZk4GWQ #se...

www.linkedin.com#culturalinsights #eattherich #capitalism | Dr. Anastasia Kārkliņa Gabriel | 65 commentsI used to feel somewhat deficient watching my Duke University classmates make it to “30 Under 30” lists soon after graduation. Meanwhile, I was just trying to “make it in America.” Exactly eight years ago today, I was leading the fifth day of a historic university sit-in that repeated the 1969 sit-in in the exact same location. We completely shut down the President’s Office and the entire administrative building for two weeks after it was discovered that an university executive “allegedly” called a parking attendant the n-word. Of course, this was never seen as “leadership” by the ruling class. Instead, we were surveilled, infiltrated, and intimidated by the campus police. I no longer look at these Forbes lists. But I do still wonder where many of us, particularly low-income folks and immigrants without any support networks or wealth, would have been by now, and what we would have achieved, if we didn't have to start from scratch. • The research by Forbes magazine found there were 15 billionaires aged 30 or under but that none had created their own wealth, instead benefitting from huge inheritances. • It signals the first wave of "the great wealth transfer", in which more than 1,000 wealthy people are expected to pass on more than $5.2tn (£4.1tn) to their heirs over the next two decades. • There are already more billionaires than ever before (2,781), and the number is expected to soar in the coming years as an elderly generation of super-rich people prepare to give their fortunes to their children.

4804 - Today marks a heartbreaking moment for the future of deaf scientists.

Today marks a heartbreaking moment for the future of deaf scientists. I’ve received news that the entire deaf scientist pipeline has been dismantled, creating a significant gap in the development of future generations of deaf researchers.

Thank you all for your support. Today marks a heartbreaking moment for the future of deaf scientists. I’ve received news that the entire deaf scientist pipeline has been dismantled, creating a significant gap in the development of future generations of deaf researchers. This pipeline, built over nearly 20 years, was designed to support deaf students at every stage of their academic journey—from high school to undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral training. I have had the privilege of being part of every stage of this pipeline, either as a student, mentor, or teacher. My journey through the deaf scientist pipeline have been the most rewarding experiences of my life and career and truly have shaped me into the scientist I am today. Growing up, I didn’t have any deaf role models in science. Now, I am proud to serve as one for future generations of deaf scientists. But today, with the dismantling of the only deaf scientist pipeline in the world, I am devastated. However, my determination remains strong, and I will continue to work towards rebuilding this pipeline when we are able. The dismantling of the deaf scientist pipeline will have a severe and lasting impact on future generations, leading to a continued lack of deaf scientists, the isolation of deaf students, and a diminished supply of deaf mentors in the scientific community. My heart and brain cannot fathom why this had to happen, why the administration would destroy so many good things, like this. The damage it’s causing is unnecessary, and it’s hard to understand why this was the choice made. It’s a deep disappointment to see many meaningful programs get torn down, especially when it meant so much to so many of us. The impact of those choices will forever affect us—science, the deaf community, and future generations of deaf scientists. It's devastating to see the work we’ve put in for years get dismantled, especially when it was built to empower and support a community that has long been underrepresented. The consequences of this decision will echo for years to come, and it’s hard to come to terms with how much this will affect us all. | 163 comments on LinkedIn

Exacty! How many jobs & opportunities have we been denied because they couldn't be done remotely but were made that way overnight for the able bodied when COVID hit. We've all seen how easy it was, so there's no excuse for our exclusion when #COVID is over. #AdaptTheFeed t.co/oKOXwtIZe2

Toot.CatJust a Cat (@catzilla@toot.cat)A note on transphobia in sports and why cis women HAVE to voice their support for trans women now: Since the transphobia madness became a thing in social media, many videos showing top cis women athletes with toned bodies and/or short hair have been inundated with comments attacking them by calling them transphobic slurs. These are cis women. They are just strong and wear short hair. There was also an incident here in Canada with a literal child participating in group sports and a random guy demanded her parent to prove the girl was not a boy. Don’t let these laws fool you - their intention is not to protect women in sports. Their intention is to put women “back in their place”, force them to have s certain type of “feminine look” and eventually shut down certain women sports for being too masculine. These laws hurt ALL women. All of us. Cis and trans, athletes or not.
