I hope all my allies are standing strong as this new dictator tries his moves. But we won’t give up, remember to speak truth to power and have each others backs! Love y’all dearly ❤️

I met some researchers of color today in the field of female disadvantage due to rising rates of white workplace fractional fragility. They’ve notice rising rates of racism that they believe is due to a new previously unknown form of white fragility. Do y’all have a guess what this is?

My New Year’s resolution is to do the work to further identify white racism and how to dismantle it! #RobinDiangelo has been a great guide so far. I love this quote: “Interrupting the forces of racism is on going, lifelong work because it’s always at play; OUR LEARNING WILL NEVER BE FINISHED” #race

Wow this is really insensitive. How dare you label a group of marginalized loving people with just a gross label. How would you feel if one of your immutable characteristics was associated with being a pedo!!

I hope it’s helpful! :)

I had an argument with a fellow post-doc (conservative 👹) today. He said that black women can’t survive in a meritocracy and they don’t have the skills. I say us lefty’s are fixing it. If you believe in supporting black women for being black women repost this please so we can show him wrong! ❤️ wins!

This is actually very intriguing! What are your thoughts on the eugenics movement of the early 1900s?

LaQuaria McPickett @onlystepsforward.bsky.social · Dec 23

Ok honey, you were definitely “on topic” the whole time. Or since they’re privileged they could suck it up and realize that’s what they get for exploiting that area

LaQuaria McPickett @onlystepsforward.bsky.social · Dec 23

Honey you pivoted :(, but you can be correct, it is better than killing more civilians. But why kill at all? Also are you a systems engineer?

LaQuaria McPickett @onlystepsforward.bsky.social · Dec 23

Honey we’ve been talking about Palestine the whole time. I’m not sure why you bring up unrelated metrics. How do any of those relate. If you can provide one legit example I will admit your intellect is superior if that’s what you want. What is so wrong with showing some compassion?

LaQuaria McPickett @onlystepsforward.bsky.social · Dec 23

Do you happen to know the prices? Or do you think that wouldn’t matter?

LaQuaria McPickett @onlystepsforward.bsky.social · Dec 23

You are correct! Palestine, the region not in Africa or US is impoverished. They may use pagers as a cell phone alternative which is why giving them to people there could lead to over disimination to civilians.

Well your lack of depth causes me grief baby. Maybe I could offer some reading for you?

LaQuaria McPickett @onlystepsforward.bsky.social · Dec 23

You’re the one using irreverent stats honey, I’m sorry for your loss. I actually used a pager all through hs so I could call my grandma if she needed help when I was in middle and hs.
