At this point, #Clarissa is being subjected to the classic abuse playbook. On one hand, her family is isolating her and cutting off outside communication. Then, Lovelace is writing her that "if he must have no hope....he cannot answer for what his despair will make him do." Bad all around!✉️

A Syrian friend I met in Lebanon is asking for help: Ethnic cleansing is happening against minorities in Syria, including Alawites, Druze, and Christians. Is there anything we can do?

A friend included this anti-acknowledgement section on her PhD thesis. She also added the proposition: “Systematic bullying and undermining of girls and women in STEM starts early on and is the reason why they do not stay in science and related fields.” Absurd we still need to go through this 🧪👩‍🔬

Let's talk about this Nature piece in more detail. I've rarely read something so anti-scientific anywhere short of the National Review. www.nature.com/articles/d41...

I've been thinking how #Clarissa (the novel) has so much in common with soap opera type TV dramas, because in every letter there is some new! big! reveal! I wonder if that's related to how it was originally serialized? ✉️ It definitely makes me want to keep reading!

Missed reading #Clarissa over the weekend, so catching up today. What do you guys think Lovelace is writing all the time?✉️ I guess we'll find out when we get to his letters, but I'm imaging he's secretly publishing an advice column (pretty sure I've read a story like that lol)

Ohio! Come rally with us in Columbus at the Statehouse, 12-3p. Also, stay tuned for details on a walkout in Cleveland, in case you're up that way and can't make the drive to Cbus.

If Clarissa is leaving letters for Anna next to the chicken shed, how the heck is she corresponding with Lovelace? 😂🤔 And what's going on with Anna's love life? This Hickman guy seems to be pushed on her by her mother, but she kind of implies she liked someone unsuitable before? ✉️

The NIH summer internship program was cancelled today. www.reddit.com/r/NIH/commen... Another important summer program that allowed young researchers pathways into STEM, gutted.
