Thread: Why banning TikTok would be a disaster for America
As if things weren’t bad enough in America, now they want to take away your TikToks. Here are some reasons why that would be a terrible idea. #SaveTikTok #NoBan

TikTok is a cultural phenomenon that has given voice and visibility to millions of young Americans, especially those from marginalized communities. Banning it would deprive them of a creative outlet and a source of empowerment. #DiversityMatters
TikTok is also a platform for social activism and civic engagement, where young Americans can raise awareness and mobilize around issues that matter to them. Banning it would silence their voices and undermine their causes. #ActivismNotCensorship

はじめに
２０１７年１１月２８日、次期G7サミット議長国として「ジェンダー平等」を大きなテーマとして掲げるカナダのジャスティン・トルドー首相は、カナダ議会で性的マイノリティであるLGBTQ2コミュニティに対する歴史的な謝罪演説を公式に行った。

現代の進歩的なカナダからは想像もできないような、後進的で排他的な国家の蛮行をこうも率直に詫び、正そうとすることができるものなのか。全世界のLTBTQ2コミュニティが称賛を持って迎えた歴史的演説の全文を和訳しました。

Here's your "but surgery doesn't have a problem with diversity any more, right?" starter pack. A thread on what we know, and what we don't.🧵(1/15)

First of all, there aren't enough #womeninsurgery. 13.2% of NHS surgeons are women (ENT surgery = 16.5%). And 35% of surgical trainees are women, compared to 57% of all trainee doctors. (2/15)

Why is this? The perception that surgical culture is biased against women (and does not recognise potential needs regarding pregnancy, childcare and family life) has been shown to deter women from applying for surgical training. (3/15)

Conservative groups are training [anti-CRT] activists to swarm school board meetings [across the USA]. spectrumlocalnews.com/tx/austin/poli…
Respectfully, paraphrased from this Article:
---
Activists are swarming school boards all over the country. The same names continue to appear during the public comment periods of meetings... and they almost exclusively repeat the same conservative talking points.

Every day I get asked what area of anaesthesia I want to specialise in. Answer is. I don’t know yet.
Got me reflecting on how long it took to get to this point. Someone said you must share your story. Feels like over sharing, but bear with me. Long thread!

At school my physics teacher told me. Girls don’t do science. I took these words to heart. Ditched physics, flunked chemistry & scraped through biology. Went to college & did English, Art & Communications A levels. Worked in Asda for a couple of years, then applied to Bristol..
University for a degree in Social Policy & Sociology. My GP wrote a letter to specialist referral saying how I was lying about doing A levels & was clearly fantasising. One teacher Mr Tempest believed I could do it. Supported & encouraged me. I did my degree.

Honestly, I gotta get this off my chest.
As an organization if you're is serious about doing right by Black people and inclusion as a whole, you have to invest in the future.
You have to start investing in these communities earlier. Making an effort to try and create roles

You have to start investing in these communities earlier. Making an effort to try and create roles
that would allow more people opportunities to get their foot in the door.
Black people collectively across the world have been marginalized. We've been robbed the chance to build the infrastructure to help facilitate more people into senior positions.

You need to be accessible WAY EARLIER. Foster the future and make things more accessible to them. Being more open to having Senior Black Talent is great but..there are only SO many of us in that space. Not enough of us get a fair shot to advance like that. That's systemic racism.
The results of the first ~1.5 yrs @PARCorg 's demographic & atmospheric surveys are online!
Curious about where our members are, how we identify, & where we think we all could improve with respect to #diversity #equity & #inclusion ? Check it out:

A lot of hard work by many folks that are in or involved with the Diversity Equity and Inclusion Task Team (DEITT) went in to getting this information collected and shared. Thanks to the whole team! 💪
Are you interested in joining @PARCorg 's Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion Task Team? You should be! We're a fun bunch to work with.

His voice sounded like music. Rolling up and down in these soft, lulling rhythms telling of both his present illness and of lands far away from Georgia.
I had to coach myself not to get lost in it.

Him: "Started with a bit of nausea first. The pain in my abdomen and vomiting didn't start until that evening. I'd been in queue at the grocery store. I thank the good Lord that I was able to make it out of those sliding doors."

Him: "Indeed, Dr. Manning. And it was just terrible. I did feel better for a beat but not even 30 minutes later, it returned. Fortunately, I was home by then."

I am really passionate about this topic because I am a minority in my field. I am a minority because I am a woman. I am a minority because I am an African researcher. I am a minority because I am of colour. #womeninSTEM #POCinSTEM #AfricanSTEM
