The top word is English followed by how it is written in the Cherokee language followed by how it is spelled in English then how to pronounce it phonetically.

It’s optics. The emperor’s new clothes.
When equity is filtered through a system designed to maintain hierarchy, it can only reproduce the status quo dressed up in the language of justice and good.
And the more convincing the costume, the harder it becomes to name what hasn’t actually changed.

Tempest Henneghan 💫 @thenneghan.bsky.social · Sep 18

I completely agree. Equity, leadership, and inclusion programs often present the illusion of change, but in reality, they function as a form of institutional self-preservation.
They give the appearance of progress while leaving underlying power structures untouched.

Science isn’t really moving towards equity; institutions are just perfecting the appearance of equity. We need to build an alternative system, says Dolors Armenteras

Equity in science is a beautiful lie — and I’m done pretending
