Seriously. SERIOUSLY? @/UW_CR this is disgusting. Period the end. The amount of privilege and willful ignorance in understanding the histories of you non-white peers is absolutely shameful. But you know what. I don’t care about giving you attention. Instead...
Let’s redirect that energy at giving a lot of really positive attention to First Nations UW which will also be having a bake sale tomorrow. You can check them out on IG @/firstnationsuw. Let’s show them we have their backs!!!
UW First Nations has updated their event. It is no longer a sale but rather a potlatch. They will be accepting donations, however, in support of missing and murdered indigenous women. #MMIW

I too get lots of emails asking how to get a career studying crows/corvids. The tone of my responses has changed so much over the last two years. It went from optimistic sage advice to “if you figure it out let me know”
Right now I’m considering myself lucky because I went from being unemployed in 3mo to employed in a temporary position for the next 8mo. That feels like a huge win. I don’t let myself think much past that. To really do the math on it.
Because when I do I have a hard time doing much of anything. Why? I mean...why not? The financial insecurity, the loss of personal identity, the general mental toll grad school took. How am I supposed to look at having to hustling for 8mo of employment and not mourn that?

Ok, I need some crow content in my life right now. You probably do too. Let them enchant you for the next 3min.
1. It’s the breeding season right now which means baby crows will be, or are already on the loose depending on where you live. It’s okay if they can’t fly-that’s normal! Their parents still care for them. You can recognize them by their blue eyes. Bill turns black fast tho.
2. Once the babies reach independence they will leave the territory to make it on their own, but some, especially sons, will stay on as “helpers”. We don’t really understand why, but breeding females with helpers raise more offspring over their lives than those without.

I have a few #DenaliDiaries to share before I wrap for the season. In episode 6 I stan an owl nest and discuss the secret to their quiet flight.
Here is mama great horned owl in her nest. Isn’t she beautiful?!
Great horned owls usually use old nests that were built by other birds like red-tailed hawks, ravens, and crows. So not to plug too hard here but, yes, crows actually contribute to the creation of usable habitat for other birds.

white man builds sense of self, career, and critical acclaim off of his willful ignorance to the inscrutable Orient
Somehow missed the obvious fact that dude’s Indian, but he’s clearly nailing this white expat cosplay
If anything this speaks to the fact that whiteness is a positionality and product of socialization under privilege and power, rather than a biological condition

White privilege doesn't mean..

You won't get pulled over by police. You won't get pulled over BECAUSE YOU'RE WHITE.

You won't get denied jobs & opportunities. You won't get denied BECAUSE YOU'RE WHITE.

You won't have struggles. You won't struggle BECAUSE YOU'RE WHITE.

Got it?
White privilege means....

The challenges, tragedies, and difficulties you face in life will have nothing to do with being white.

The benefits, privileges, and opportunities you receive will often have everything to do with being white.

Get it?
White privilege speaks to the inherent advantages wypipo have based on their non melanated status in a society built on racial inequality and injustice against non white people.

Just because you think you don't have privilege doesn't erase the fact that you do.

Next year, it'll be 10 years since I started my website (fatnutritionist.com) and started writing my blog The Fat Nutritionist. At the time, I was a nutrition student and worked as a clinical diet tech (which is too boring to explain fully, but I loved it.)
There had been a whole generation (or two) of dietitians before me who did non-diet or HAES nutrition, but their work mostly wasn't promoted online or done via videoconferencing. There were a handful of nutritionists working online, but I was one of very, very few a decade ago.
In the past 10 years, and especially in the last couple of years, it seems like the non-diet RD thing has exploded into awareness, inside my field and outside of it. Meanwhile, as a fat person working in nutrition, I was terrified of my coworkers knowing what I really thought.

Seriously, when has there ever *not* been an effort underway to suppress the minority vote in America? 🤷🏾‍♀️
I’m annoyed at the way she asked the question as if doubt is reasonable when it comes to race based voter suppression in this country or the SCOTUS didn’t just dismantle the VRA in 2013. Wake the fuck up already, White supremacy takes no breaks.
What part of Obama’s election in 2008 and re-election in 2012 scared the shit out of the White power structure to the extent that they brought back Jim Crow with a vengeance to eliminate their predominantly Black competition from the voting rolls are folk still not understanding?

Okay, I'm going to do a thread going over & critiquing Ryan Faulk's (The Alternative Hypothesis) & Sean Last's recent videos.
Starting with Ryan's

Ryan starts out with saying that whites aren't politically all that exceptional. He says this because people in Europe don't support freedom of speech as much as people in America. Yes, his argument really is this stupid.

Seriously? The complaint is I'm too healthy and articulate to be a survivor? Wow.
For the record, I had to work extremely hard, I had to practice, I had to learn and read and heal myself while in isolation and on the run. I am a formidable mind with a lot of education, 100% faith in God & therefore faith in myself that God will guide me if I just trust my gut.
The cult abuses people in a way that deliberately makes them seem insane & untrustworthy when reporting. I KNEW THIS so I worked VERY hard to overcome ALL of that sabotage programming in order to be able to #SayBraveThings to y'all for the sake of LIFE & HUMANITY ITSELF FFS.
