ALSO. IF YOU SEE ASIANS WEARING FACE MASKS, IT MAY NOT MEAN THEY'RE SICK. IT IS A CONSCIENTIOUS CULTURE. WE WEAR IT AS A PREVENTATIVE FOR OURSELVES TO LIMIT GETTING OR SPREADING ILLNESS. WE DON'T START WEARING NOT AFTER THE FACT. SO DON'T BE AN ASSHOLE WHEN YOU SEE US WEAR IT.

racists: coronavirus happened because Chinese people eat weird shit me, a Chinese person: what is the charge? eating a meal? a succulent Chinese meal?

Who here realises the ENORMOUS privilege that the use of English as an international science & publishing language conjures on native English speakers in academia?

Ableism is the left’s dirty secret. It should be our mission to tackle ableism. Because ableism is at the heart of fascism. Nearly every major system of oppression relies on the contempt for infirmity and vulnerability in its framework. Genocide is built around ableism.

in light of @Imani_Barbarin and @coffeespoonie’s recent run ins: you can’t have worker solidarity or class solidarity without including disabled people. it isn’t class solidarity to say minimum wage workers are allowed to discriminate.

at every australian highschool there's a guy who is always drinking a 1.25L Fanta straight from the bottle

If you can show up, show up - but - In case no one has explicitly told you, if you have accessibility issues that limit your ability to engage in protests and marches - you are not cancelled. We understand. Do what you can, where you are, with what you have. #InvasionDay2020

To counter my last tweet, here are a bunch of disabled and chronically ill people doing & saying excellent things. Go follow them! @BlytheByName @VilissaThompson @briannasbell @paulinevetuna @vanamalihermans @MsFridayology @Erinkyan @Paige_Burton @Imani_Barbarin @MrBrokenEyes

Don’t know who needs to hear it but: climate change is a human rights issue.

I can't believe it! A reviewer is asking us to justify why we studied German and Russian! BECAUSE THESE ARE F**KING LANGUAGES. LIKE F**KING ENGLISH. Jesus H. Christ.

OK, outside of everything else, whether you're an academic, cultural critic or medical professional: Don't write books about a population you hate. It's likely not only offensive and journalistically/medically/artistically irresponsible, but also straight up inaccurate if you do.

Making them the standard creates that problem for another group of people who can’t have food stuffs dominant in a vegan/veggie diet like nuts, egg, soy, or high FODMAP foods. Catering should be adapted to equally consider all types of diets so no one feels ‘troublesome’

Christ imagine if it were veganism becoming fashionable that made people understand that the “accommodations by request only” model was actually problematically discriminatoryhttps://twitter.com/AcademicChatter/status/1217748254433202176 …

Everyone has an accent, but certain people have the privilege of not having their accents heard! #accentism
