Omg i forgot to post yesterday, I had class for like 7 hours (gotta love online labs) then went to dinner at a vegan pub with my old roommate from first year!

Also met with fluids prof yesterday to discuss if i should stay in the course and he missed our meeting/was 30 min late.... another red flag so this morning I finally dropped it and instead I am taking a different atmospheric physics course.

Currently snacking on some fresh Ontario peaches while reading Why I am Not a Scientist by Jonathan Marks. As a scientist myself, I think this is an incredibly important read to help us understand how science in itself can be harmful (e.g. racist) and how we can improve our communication with nonscientists.

4. what are your stationery ride-or-dies? (basically, what pieces of stationery are you absolutely obsessed with and would use forever and ever?)

I don't really use any particular stationery if we're just talking paper. I guess my go to is just standard lined notebooks haha

5. what's your favorite quarantine activity at home? what do you do when you need a break from studying?

Besides biking and hiking which are technically outside the home, I like to take a break from studying by playing mario kart on the Nintendo switch or cooking something!

New Rule: White Women Should Not Study Black Communities

Let’s be clear: Goffman is not a right winger. . . . [Her] book won praise, in part, because it is a vivid illustration of the argument, as one reviewer put it, that the criminal justice system has become “a kind of invading force, aimed mostly at young black men.” But Goffman’s support for the basic storyline of the Black Lives Matter movement cannot absolve her of the charge of researching a black community although she is white.

The open letter, which must be read to be believed, is an embarrassment through and through. At one point, they quote a New York Times Magazine article concerning the existence of a sixty page anonymous document, widely circulated among sociologists, that attacks Goffman. They do not note that the author of this same article deemed Goffman’s responses to this document largely persuasive, found that “many claims against her are… easy to rebut independently,” and reported that “most sociologists have found the mainstream criticisms of the book to be baseless.” To note such things would be to undermine their suggestion that the hire of Goffman amounts to an act of flagrant disregard for black people.
