Side note, re: vasectomies, anecdotally, Iโ€™ve been heard they are handled much different. Often including some combo of: benzos before the appt., local anesthesia before the cut, and even RX pain killers after. (2/2)

Btdubs, I found her! & Sheโ€™s agreed to have a chat with me for my social work policy students. She noted wanting to hit on being a therapist who believes in the importance of doing macro work too. I love that for us! #MacroSW #socialwork ๐Ÿ’• @naswny.bsky.social

Glad Alireza Doroudi is one step closer to leaving a detention center, but sad at Alabamaโ€™s loss. And for what? The U.S. is losing so many brilliant minds to other countries. Our science will suffer, as will our nation as we drift away from our previous role as leaders in innovation. #ALpolitics

Can any of you help me connect with this icon (NY social worker, @emilyjaynef.bsky.social)? When things calm down a bit, I want to see if sheโ€™d let me interview her for my social work students on bravery (& how small acts of bravery can help others be brave), re: policy advocacy. Thanks! #macroSW

Weaponization of antisemitism silencing dissent. As Jews in Alabama we say โ€˜Not in our nameโ€™: op-ed In recent months, we have seen something deeply troubling: accusations of antisemitism being weaponized to silence criticism of Israelโ€™s political decisions and to punish those who stand up for Palest...

Hate knowing the world has to turn its back on us (๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ), but proud of people for doing what they need to do. I hope they know how many of us donโ€™t want this & are actively fighting back. But until we can fix this, donโ€™t let our countryโ€™s officials push you around โค๏ธโ€๐Ÿฉน๐Ÿค๐Ÿ’™

Was using @5calls.org to contact my reps (introvert style, leaving VMs after hours). The app put a call through to Tuberville and the number was still saved in my phone as @dougjones.bsky.social!!!! It made me all dreamy and nostalgic. If only, phone. If only ๐Ÿ’ญ๐ŸŒ™๐Ÿ’ญ

Really digging new tv show โ€œThe Pittโ€! Esp. love their portrayal of medical #socialwork. Weโ€™re not always shown in the best light, but actress Krystel V. McNeilโ€™s social worker is calm, kind, logical, helpful. Not a miracle worker, not โ€œa kid snatcherโ€, love it! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ @hbomax.bsky.social

Great news! The Alabama Maternal Health Care Act just passed the House. This is a huge step in reducing infant and maternal mortality. Thank you, Rep. Dubose for co-sponsoring and your support. #ForwardForFreedom #alpolitics

So hard to explain to students how good policy can be so slow and bad policy can be so fast. Baffling to me how peopleโ€™s identities become supposed social issues. #ALpolitics

Things are REALLY bad. But we need you. Do whatever you need to do to keep going. Maybe it's a news break or some knitting or a hot bath or a fancy cuppa or a walk in the sunshine. It won't fix the terrible things, but it might help you keep going. We need all of us. ๐Ÿ’“ Don't give up. ๐Ÿงถโ˜•๏ธ
