Firstly, it doesn't have to complicated! Focus on what #PrideMonth is about: celebration + protest. Think about content that helps readers learn something about your organisation, but more importantly, the people in it and the people you work with. 2/? #CharitySoStraight #Pride
You have a platform. Use it for good. Enable Queer voices to be heard. Offer them a platform. This is not a time to amplify corporate voice. #PrideMonth is the perfect time to offer a platform to your Queer stakeholders, employees, volunteers or partners #CharitySoStraight

In Human culture the analogy between day, year and life is very precise: each one has four seasons (that are further divided into three periods each).

Let's consider the first periods:

• Primanɔtte (Earlynight) is like Priminvɛrno (Earlywinter) and when you are a bambino (a person from 0 to 7 years old).
• Meʒʒanɔtte (Midnight) is like Meʒʒinvɛrno (Midwinter) and when you are a citto (a person from 7 to 14 years old).
• Tardanɔtte (Latenight) is like Tardinvɛrno (Latewinter) and when you are a ragazzo (a person from 14 to 21 years old).

Always great to see a familiar face at #ADA2022! @janespeight from the @ACBRD is presenting on diabetes stigma
Diabetes has an image problem: it is often represented inaccurately in the media e.g. stock images of sugary foods.
Diabetes has an image problem: it is often represented inaccurately in the media e.g. stock images of sugary foods.
The language used about diabetes is often stigmatising too. People with diabetes can experience stigma from the media, but also family, friends and health care professionals.
Consequences include emotional distress, hiding their diabetes, and impaired self-care

4 in 5 people with diabetes have some experience of stigma. Up to 20% have been discriminated against at work due to their diabetes.

#NZ This is a long thread on the issue of harassment & threats made against #WomenInLeadership, primarily #WomenInPolitics.
⬇️ Reviews incidents over time, highlights the danger & escalation of #misogyny & the real life consequences on the personal & our democratic institutions.

This thread is being woven, the week Michael Cruickshank was sentenced to jail in #NZ for threatening to blow our #WomanPrimeMinister’s head off & to “..wipe you off this f---planet”- Also arrested this week Richard Sivell who has allegedly been posting threatening messages.
Here you can take a look at #OnlineAbuse ~ ⬇️ is a really useful article by @shesource & @WMCLive that names online hostile behaviour, how it is that #Women are targeted, & explains why “online harassment exists on a continuum with offline violence”

I’m pissed.
I did an interview for the @LegalExaminer on Pell Restoration. The piece went to print riddled with stigmatizing & derogatory language. I reached out to @WriterElaineS requesting that the article be updated using person-first language. 1/8 legalexaminer.com/legal/new-law-…

I sent her @MorganGodvin & @szarlotka’s timely article, “The words journalists use often reduce humans to the crimes they commit. But that’s changing,” as a reference. She forwarded my request to her editor @EditorRoy1. 2/8 poynter.org/reporting-edit…
Roy wants to keep using words like inmate & convict because the @AP still uses them and because he needs to make “stories clear, concise, and readable.” But Roy, there are a lot of words that make stories clear, concise, and readable that are unacceptable to use (e.g faggot). 3/8
Hello everyone; just so you know it’s @Mavumavu91 here. I’m taking over in preparation for our #LanguageMatters series for Heritage Month. Come back at 6pm SAST Time and let’s start the conversation.

I’ve worked in some of the most prominent hominid sites in both eastern Africa and South Africa’s Cradle of human kind. Sterkfontein, Gondolin, Rising Star, Laetoli, Koobi Fora. As far as I know I’m one of the only few geologists to work on both Cradles of hu(man)kind.
This has seen me collaborate with teams from all over the world; none of which are majority black African.

1/ #Blame #shame #language & #chronicpain. I’ve been reflecting a lot on the way language is utilized around chronic pain & how it can reinforce feelings of blame & shame. My husband had #pancreascancer besides a #Whipple, chemo and radiation he became more strict
2/ with diet (imo he already was strict) he added increased vitamins went on depression meds examined faith sought counseling. My point, he did multiple things in attempt to address his overall health. No one would suggest that going on depression meds seeing a counselor
3/ would alone address his #pancreascancer we just wanted a comprehensive approach to his health. That’s the same thing I want for my kids’ health issues as well as #chronicpain. I think & this is just my ho that language used by those working in area of pain causes a HUGE
A dear friend was in palliative care, dying from a second recurrence of uterine cancer. It was a few days away from her care team finally finding the right cocktail of medications to keep her pain-free, alert, and not wracked with nausea. 1/x
She was restricting visitors. She no longer ate. I was taking dictation for what she intended as a final publication, an overview of her life's work. Her family was gathering for what all assumed would be a last farewell. Into this situation one day popped her oncologist. 2/x
He was no longer involved in her care. I had the impression they had not seen each other for some time. He was full of cheer and promise, and the rhetoric of how they were still going to "beat this thing." No. Nobody was going to beat this thing. 3/x
Holy #LanguageMatters. I wish I could teleport @RenzaS to where I am. There’s so many poor language choices and stigma happening that I don’t even know where to start as an audience member to this presentation.
😑🙈🙉🙊
Realizing that next week marks *17* years of living with type 1 diabetes and so much has changed but at the same time, nothing has. The stigma I am hearing today in this room as a person with diabetes is exactly how I felt when diagnosed in 2002.
Why we should walk away from using terms like "giving or capturing voice," in qualitative research. I hope you will read and share. #qualitativeresearch #highered #highereducation #critqual #educolor #decolonial #phdadvice #phdchat #phdlife #languagematters
1. First, the lineage and practices of qualitative research are grounded in western, global north sensibilities. Look at what is being used as dominant texts and who the authors are. Creswell and others rarely ever wrote a word thinking about people who look like me.
2. I've had to unlearn what was understood to be status quo, including the overwhelming amount of agency presumed by the researcher. I wrote about this in a book chapter titled, "Othering Research, Researching the Other (full text in ResearchGate).
