Hi for everyone who knows me as a scientist—I have scaled back pretty intensely on my countertrolling.

Occasionally I will do it though. Part of this is pedagogy, believe it or not.

This is a thread about countertrolling as educational justice praxis.
I have a few jobs. One is to do & communicate really good science: I do that with most of my time. Probably about 50% of my waking hours total are spent on science thought/communicating it.

This is my duty to my supervisors, my colleagues, and especially my funders (taxpayers)
But a thing a lot of my white colleagues may not know is that as a visible/known Native presence in the academy, it is my duty to make more room up here for other marginalized folks to join if they want to.
