As a biracial BW who did grad school at a PWI I can really relate and empathize. I moved across the country to get away from my department and vowed to never become tt. I feel for my friends who are still junior scholars trying to make it, and to the women who have endured so much to become full

So good for her but such a damn shame to even have to go through that. The academy misses out on so much good brilliant talent.

If we all aired our grievances, everyone’s faves would be implicated. People think they know but they don’t. It is a horrible awful experience and I just send many hugs to all the other Black women who have experienced this. We are the only ones who really got us.

Are the arguments really based on “promises of ai” or is it just overmarketing to the point that we don’t question it

I love name dropping my community in conversations, & today it was @alexhanna.bsky.social/AI con, and the point was that we should be disrupting spaces that lean on the ”promises” of AI by revitalizing the option of refusal. Sometimes it takes just one person saying no when deciding on AI adoption

Had a terrible day, on top of that I had a new caregiver today. She has been so gentle & sweet. Sat through a very traumatic IME appointment with me. She then shared her testimony with me and asked if she could worship with me. Y’all she started playing KIRK FRANKLIN. Whole south oc white lady!

This is a flyer for the Rest & ME/CFS research study, IRB number 26-6. It says "participate in a survey about rest, energy, and Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome". In the upper right corner it says Questions? Email Study Co-PI Victoria: empwrtc@protonmail.com
Below the header is interwoven circles, one is black with text that says Fully Virtual, low- energy version included. The circle behind is an image of white silk wrinkled. Next to it text says To participate you must be: Over the age of 18 AND EITHER Have ME/CFS (self or professionally diagnosed) or be A medical/healthcare provider who has
worked with at least one person with ME/CFS, currently practicing or conducting research. Below this it says learn more at www.restandmecfs.com. There are two icons on the bottom left corner. One says ETC and above it are six icon-stick
figure people holding hands in a circle. Next to it is Cal Poly Pomona's logo, a diamond with an orangey yellow background and palm trees and a building inside.
The Cal Poly Pomona Institutional Review Board has reviewed and approved for conduct
this research involving human subjects under protocol IRB 26-6

Hi everyone, I wanted to share a research study I just launched on rest, energy, & ME/CFS, open to people with ME/CFS & medical or healthcare providers who are currently practicing or conducting research & have had at least 1 patient or participant with ME/CFS. Visit restandmecfs.com for more.

i just dont know how to reconcile one talking about the harms of covid (and getting funding to do research on it), and yet not doing anything to prevent it in real-time and making the space inaccessible for many people with LC

i know the norm is not to be masked at events. but it is still so jarring and a bit triggering to see people at RECOVER conferences posing without masks on. not even trying to hide it is so bizarre to me. kinda sucks.
