isnt worth it. the hate mail, the hate tweets - all while putting in untold hours to build something the community wanted
Sorry, it seems you're saying that hate mail & unpaid work of volunteering not worth building inclusive community? @sciencequiche #marginsci

combine that with the comments from other scientists - telling us not to build this. Maybe its time to listen.
-
The message has not been "don't build this." The message has been, make this event inclusive & honour intersectionality.
@sciencequiche -
But we were slowly making progress. The feedback I've gotten on twitter and elsewhere is that isn't fast enough.
-
Correct - intersectionality has been handled poorly and too slowly

No, I'm saying I quit. I build events that bring people together. And the feedback from you and others here indicates it not
-
Hi again. I want to understand what you're saying. You started by saying "tweeting facts" doesn't make a difference...
-
I said "threads" don't work. By that I meant the medium (twitter threads) is not conducive for education.
-
What's better medium to respond to
@ScienceMarchDC's tweets than Twitter@sciencequiche? SciMarch can tweet nonsense & we should keep quiet?

And yet we're supposed to "join up" instead of "tweeting facts"?
-
"Tweeting facts" is the ABSOLUTE WORST thing you can do as a scientist when discussing a march FOR science.

fractured science community. I wish I could, but I doubt I can given the forcefulness of the tweets. And I'm going to listen
-
Science communities are fractured due to discrimination & bias
@sciencequiche not because of "forcefulness of the tweets."

to this country only because of a science program. But I dont want to create a thing that further divides our already

All POC migrant parents made sacrifices & suffer due to bigotry.
@sciencequiche One of many reasons why we need inclusive SciMarch!

I've really tried - we've built up 326 marches. But the negative feedback is drowning out the voices that want to march.
-
So wanting diversity makes us "negative voices"? Negative for whom
@sciencequiche? For those of us who are marginalised on multiple levels? -
Not suggesting you are a "negative voice". The feedback on the event has been negative.
