I think we should draft in order of family's net worth starting with the highest and then go down from there... No exceptions or exemptions.
I bet we would have a lot less wars and be able to come up with amicable resolutions.
Let them send their own kids to die first...

We see cops and mayors and other jerks crying about shoplifting and other “law and order” bullshit. Why aren’t they freaking out about wage theft? Wage theft steals more than shoplifting, burglary and other kinds of stealing crimes combined! epi.org/publication/employer…

QUICK: before you have a hot take, ask yourself if you’re accidentally playing into the plan of jerks who want us to fight amongst ourselves for the scraps

I get lots of people asking me how a chemistry curriculum can be 'decolonised', so I thought I'd make a short thread with examples.
Firstly, decolonisation is not about removing science from the curriculum, it is about giving students more context (see: pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/acs…)
ALT Strategies for decolonising chemistry: Explore impacts of chemistry in different global contexts Present diverse histories of chemistry and science Use role model scientists from different backgrounds and cultures. Reflect science as a global, teamworked, endeavor. Discuss ethical considerations of applying science in a global society Undermine structures and hierarchies in science Encourage student voice and leadership

Cape Town’s beautiful City Hall played a special part in Queen Elizabeth’s life. Tonight it is lit in her honour @ukinsouthafrica.

Did the city of Cape Town honour any of the Kings (King Zwelithini, and King Sigcawu) who departed in recent times in SA?

Remember this man pretends he was chosen by a god to sit on a heaping hoard of stolen treasure while the rest of us struggle, AND the country pays HIM for this. He doesn’t serve the people, he “rules” the people

But while I am here: there is a reason that African countries are often unable to institute and enforce the same safety laws as Western countries. We do not have the same structural power nor resources. Which goes back to my first point about dehumanization...
Shell Avenant retweeted
Sometimes (often), the reminders of how the world dehumanizes Africans come in the form of seemingly banal decisions like sending vehicles that can't be sold in the West due to safety concerns to Africans
