Neutrality in the face of human rights abuses isn’t neutrality. It is siding with the oppressor and if our jobs, salaries, organizations, or institutions pressure us to be quiet—that’s on them and it is our job to deconstruct systems that force us to “be neutral” in the face of human rights abuses.

Trump announces that the U.S. will buy Russian oil. This is just a few weeks after Trump signed the Lindsey Graham Russia Sanctions bill, which authorized him to place 100% tariffs on countries that are the biggest importers of Russian oil/gas. Are we going to tariff ourselves now?

i was fortunate enough to profile Margaret Hamilton in 2019. A really kind and curious person. This was my favorite story she told me:
#OTD in 2020, Emmanuelle Charpentier & Jennifer Doudna won the #Nobel Prize in #Chemistry "for the development of a method for genome editing" (referring to their groundbreaking work on the CRISPR/Cas9 genetic scissors). They were the first all-female team to win a Nobel in science. #WomenInSTEM
Very sad to hear that Margaret Hamilton has passed away. Here's a short thread about her role in the Apollo mission, and her lesser-known work on the simulations that led to the discovery of Chaos Theory. 🧪 👩🔬 ⚛️
