People at Oxford and Cambridge keep asking me to give diversity talks for big events but they don’t offer honoraria because Oxbridge apparently doesn’t do that and as a Caribbean person my response is:

your colonizer asses are getting no more free labor from my family
So if you’re at Oxford or Cambridge and would like to invite me to give a physics talk or a talk on feminist philosophy of science, feel free to send me an invite but I am not coming to your colonizer institution and giving you free labor on how to fix your broken institution
Or You’re welcome to invite me to come talk about my book. And that is it.
You’re literally the largest landowners in the whole UK https://twitter.com/ibjiyongi/status/1355512702047813633
How fancy are Oxford and Cambridge?

Their campuses make Harvard’s look relatively humble and puritanical
Meanwhile, Black and women of color South African astronomers tried to pay me for a talk I gave on Thursday. But the UK universities who benefited from the colonial plunder of South Africa won’t pay.
