Just now seeing that this March event has been posted. I’m so excited for this and so grateful for this group of brilliant minds. I’ve been learning so much from them! You can register here: www.disconetwork.org/disco-events...

I remember that book well. This was the belief until Dr. Leonard Jason published his community based studies in the late 1990s and proved what we advocates had been saying for years - Black people are at least a susceptible to this disease as the general population. This has been a long hard fight.

I bought this book for $4 for research. Imagine, as a Black person, specifically a Black woman, seeing this. It's not that old, it's from 1990. Imagine not only seeing this but hearing it said by the CDC. To not see this travesty spoken about more in IACC spaces is... well there are no words.

I am writing this MECFS, Misogynoir, & Mandatory Reporting piece so slowly bc it is soooo emotional. I mainly focus on contextualizing my friend Wilhelmina's testimony within the historical medical (mis)understanding (+misogynoir) of ME but I am also working on Jen Brea's part now & its crushing

Missing dc and virgina right now ❤️

Rewatching hunger games while pmsing was a bad idea

Ok on a less serious note. In high school my basketball coach was so old he would fall asleep DURING GAMES. Like we’d hear the clipboard drop during free throws and it was his ass drifting off and I keep being reminded of that lmaooo

I have yet to publish any papers from my dissertation because it was such deeply special and collaborative work and I owe it to my collaborators to show up in the way they need me to if I pursue publication (I ask permission for every time I present on it). It may be years until I have enough

I have so much to say about this including the fact that she mentioned chronic fatigue syndrome and that she’s a psychiatrist

My neighbor blasting techno music and burning their food until their fire alarm starts blaring whilst I’m trying to watch church is this spiritual warfare lmao

Make the Goddamn meal and put it in your Free Fridge. Write the $100 check to the food bank. Ask your local school what they need for the kids and then go about trying to get that stuff.... Do these things regularly and you are making meaningful contributions to your communities.

Just sayin'

Just now seeing the Typhoon hitting Luzon. Please check on your families, and pray for mine 🙏

I absolutely hate when randoms get on my page talking about republicans this republicans that but when someone says something about how democrats have utterly failed us as well or how as a society we have failed each other in many ways I’m “worse than maga”

My mom realized that the bedpan liner company was making their liners smaller when sold alone without the absorbent pads but jacking the cost up. So she complained and they changed it lmaooo

Please share

There’s a viral post on Twitter with 134k likes because when Zohran got a question from a disabled person in a wheelchair he … answered it. Idk man maybe we shouldn’t regard that as heroic

Being on SNAP benefits for 17 years, I've NEVER been told I wouldn't be paid my benefits. NEVER. What is going on is BEYOND cruel. The ppl w/disabilities, ppl w/chronic illnesses & cancer, seniors already isolated, the 16M hh's w/children. WE REFUSE TO BE A NUMBER. WE ARE PEOPLE. WE DESERVE DIGNITY.

If only the Speaker put half as much energy into governing as he does into avoiding work. He still hasn’t sworn in Representative-elect Grijalva, people are hungry, planes are grounded, and Republicans are on vacation. They’re showing you exactly who they are. Believe them.

the way we are handling snap is soooo tragic and incredibly reflective of all the other aspects of our social system apparatus in the United States. I hope that much is clear to folks rn. It is never just snap but the entirety of how our social “safety net” is not a net at all

I wasn’t reading it correctly, & now I’m wondering where is the part where Justice brown is making the decision to halt the release of funds? (based on the NYT updates). I’m only seeing Sauers Shitty ass application to stay. So is it that she granted that?

Why did Justice Brown halt the SNAP benefits court order…

I got laid off, I utilized SNAP, and I was able to remain in my chosen field of profession. The program is incredibly effective in mitigating the effects of unemployment, and that’s precisely why they want to gut it.

He said that the agents would throw food at them to eat. The agents threatened to withhold food for a week and to beat him up if he didn't sign deportation papers. He said he saw others refuse and get beaten/receive no food. He signed because he was afraid.

Her husband told her that detainees at Broadview had to get up at 5am to get in line for one bathroom. He often peed himself. One time he had to wait until 2pm to use the bathroom. You could only use the bathroom once a day. He said the agents would beat you if you used the bathroom on yourself.

I’m about to go live and host a watch party for this Eric Adam’s Ziwe interview lmao
