Oh no! I didn't realize that Gracie had passed. I'm so very sorry.

The delta between what Biden did and how much anger he got for it and the absolute crickets Trump has gotten for making the student loan landscape *magnitudes worse than it was before* is absolutely one of the most enraging things about this entirely enraging era.

As I was telling you, I have a sneaking suspicion about (de)segregation and hospitals outside of the Deep South and potential impacts on health.

My spare time is definitely..nearly nonexistent. Nevertheless, I feel the itch to do some mythbusting around reproductive health (equity).

Any suggestions for mediums outside of Substack (can't get past their platforming of n*****).

Why would you be unkind to yourself and cook? Get that fufu in your belly!

people thought Judith Butler was exaggerating before but she's been proven right, i think

Wow.

Welp! (I'm waiting for the auntie designation from people who are not my friends' kids.)

The Hunger Games Begin 40 million Americans are about to lose food stamps

Remember when Paul Krugman’s columns were soooo wonky.

“It sounds crazy to say that Republicans are making children go hungry to protect pedophiles, but it’s actually a reasonable interpretation of the situation.” - Paul Krugman

This feels like an attack...but when you right you right.

I think that a lot of healthcare scholars are doubling down on facts, but as we know, that doesn't work. I'd love to hear your thoughts on strategic deployment of messaging that can actually make a difference.

Because then you keep chasing that high (or so I've been told). 😆

An important part of racial segregation in public accommodations (that economists and economic historians regularly miss) is that it was NOT about racial animus. It’s about dehumanization and debasement. It’s using the public sphere to tell people that they are is not fit to walk the Earth.

Mother Teresa was a terrible human who was fine with Indian folks suffering in poverty while she got the finest of healthcare and took charitable donations from the Duvaliers.

I told mine that one of my top reasons is that he doesn't hate women. That is...remarkably rare among trainers of all genders.

My husband was detained by ICE today

The wounded knee thing is really Trumpism distilled to its essence. It’s not enough to be able crush people who can’t fully defend themselves, it’s not enough to actually crush them, you also have to love and admire those who do the crushing otherwise the Trumpists’ delicate feelings are injured

Thanks for sharing!

yeah this guy is dumber than donkey shit

I think…people’s obsession with “a cause”…is precisely because autism’s genetic randomness is hard to stratify by social class……………..

Four years of smug white Canadians telling me about how much better they were than the US while I heard anti-Black racial slurs on the street that even Americans don’t use anymore
