it looks like another lovely spring day to REMIND YOU DELINQUENTS TO STOP "RESCUING" BABY ANIMALS. THEIR MOMS ARE MOST LIKELY NEARBY SO JUST MIND YOUR BUSINESS. FAWNS, DROP EM'. BIRDS, LEAVE EM'. RACCOONS, DON'T WORRY ABOUT IT. ARMADILLO?¿? ARMADILL-NO.

On every single faculty interview I was asked what my husband did and his career goals. Do they ask that to male interviewees? I've never really known. Are people starting to realize the implicit bias hidden in that question finally??
Study of faculty searches at R1 university finds committees consider women's—but not men's—relationship status in hiring. Women w/ high-status partners were considered not 'movable' & excluded from offers when there were male or single female alternatives. https://t.co/99HsfkUDh1
