Its a good week so far - saw some beautiful flowers, won an award for teaching innovation for my public health nursing course, celebrated @eliseconant.bsky.social who received a research award, and now reading on my passion project in bed with max on my back. Only Wednesday.

"I'M NOT BROKEN"

I just ate the most gorgeous garlic parmesan bread grilled cheese

Welp, the first 100 days of this administration are up. I'm officially ending recruitment for my first study as PI: Attitudes and Beliefs About Gender Affirming Care Under the Trump Admin. I'm so excited (and scared) to dig deeper into this data.

That is: eugenics

Hello!!! The world is a hard place, but there are so many moments of softness. Here are some one week old kittens my MIL is raising - these 2 may or may not be joining our family once a lil bit older! 😸

As a historian of eugenics, I can tell you that the "taxes" thing is straight up from sterilization eugenics. Not only that, it represents an even more extreme form of early 20thC. eugenics that I study: euthanasia eugenics. They are tax burdens therefore they shouldn't exist. 1/2

Unironically, I got perhaps the most beautiful reviews on a manuscript of my career so far. Like, critiques, yes, but kind & supportive & enthusiastic!!!

Kurt Vonnegut man

You ever write something, time goes by, then look back at it and think, "what the fuck?"

I grew up in a very pro-2A household. Like, got a gun for Christmas as a minor, gun shows 2x/ year, NRA kids magazine subscription i didn't ask for But also, wasn't allowed to point a water gun at a person, safety lessons being taught from a young age... everything here are childhood "no-nos" to me

MMR vaccine doesn’t just prevent measles, mumps, and rubella. It also prevents RFK Jr. from showing up at your child’s funeral to exploit your grief at your most vulnerable moment.

I've been given free reign to redesign public health practicum for our undergrads.... 🤩

1 Protect targeted people and make sure they don't disappear. 2 Hide targeted people and make sure they are informed. 3 Deliver no usable information to any official person. 4 Offer no help or facilitation to any official person. 5 Surround yourself with trusted people who feel the same.

In case anyone wants to laugh at my expense: last Friday, I submitted an internal early-career grant where I said I would use it as a springboard for an NEH grant I did also said I was expecting this to happen, so I added a private org(s)... but I was so hopeful a month ago when I started writing

Begging cisgender people to consider that they don't know as much about a trans person's bodily experience better than the trans person

I'm watching CNBC. These anchors are so angry. They really didn't believe he'd do it. They're actually just now, 10 years into this shit, realizing he's a maniac hellbent on revenge and there's no grand plan for the markets. Better late than never but holy shit.

“Science matters” “when a fundamental untruth [is shared] we must speak up”

If you're at #ENRS2025 and you care about sexual and gender minority health, come through the LGBTQIA+ RIG symposium! There's something here for everyone! 1:30 pm in Commonwealth B!

Flying in for #ENRS2025 !! Can't wait to see yall!

It's my 1 year defensi-versary!

It's not a climate of fear if we choose anger, protest, resistance, and disobedience in advanced

Booker: "I confess that I have been imperfect. I confess that I've been inadequate to the moment. I've confess that the Democratic Party has made terrible mistakes that gave a lane to this demagogue. I confess we all must look in the mirror and say 'we will do better.'"

"This is not right or left, it is right or wrong. This is not a political issue, it is a moral one." - @booker.senate.gov

🥲 @booker.senate.gov thanking @chrismurphyct.bsky.social for standing by his side through the last 15 hours, as Cory did for him 6 years ago Excited to see where we go from here

Disruption is all they seem to understand—so that’s exactly what they’re getting. For 14 hours, @booker.senate.gov has been on the Senate floor, speaking truth within the rules. This cannot be business as usual when our democracy’s on the line. Thank you, senator.

Cory Booker talking about the horrendous effects of this administration on people living with HIV/AIDS & efforts to end the ongoing HIV epidemic

I am so proud to have @balint.house.gov represent my nonbinary/queer self and my fellow queer and trans constituents 🥰
