This is a really bad take. 1. A job is something you get paid for. We aren't making money off our time on here. 2.

Very timely given I'm reading Superior by
@AngelaDSaini at the moment. Been thinking all the way through 'these are the people we run into online every damn day'. And here is yet another one. -
But we must remember - it's not just online. He's a PhD student. He behaves this way online because that's the way he behaves. Twitter might make people bolder, but, in fact, racist people do this - and worse - every day in labs, classrooms, in public and behind closed doors.

Yep very true! Thankfully I dont come across them that often in the conservation sphere but they are there. A number of more prominant academics in human differences were zoologists, and the field is historically rooted in a lot of racist awfulness.

YES! I'm sure they're there. And that Indigenous & other
#POC are acutely aware. All sciences have this history, including the social sciences. It just manifests slightly differently today in our scholarship & practices, but same outcome: fewer minorities in academia -
Just wanted to say thank you both here. I wanted to before but went to pet some donkeys in a breakaway state. Anyway, seriously thank you.
