The practical effects in the Odyssey were very good. I enjoyed the film overall. Great production value!

Medical professionals don't care about women's pain so much that inter-operative pain during a c-section is an occurrence. It wasn't until only recently they started looking into more it seriously. Ask me how I know 🙃

I was sent home with advil and Tylenol to manage my pain post c-section 🙃

This is incredibly disturbing. The number of cases in Mississippi alone of Black people who met their deaths in dubious/highly suspicious ways, only for authorities to shrug it off and do a piss poor job if investigating...there are so many names

I sometimes think about the gender disparities that became apparent among academics amid the COVID Public Health Emergency. Men who weren't caregiving / had lower advising, teaching, and service loads were able to "focus" on research, while women were more likely to see slowed research productivity

people with chronic pain warned us at the time but the criminalization of women and minority people’s pain after the opioid crisis is a public health disaster. I’ve had friends denied pain management after hysterectomies, dental extractions and broken bones.

I am so deeply sad that my colleague Dr. Johanna Fernàndez passed away recently. Her work on the Young Lords was influential in my dissertation, so it was a great joy to know I'd join the same institution where she worked. Wishing her peace in her transition.

As a southerner I love it when other people say y'all. I find it very welcoming. Non-southerners got to be careful with "Bless your heart" though. It's not always pejorative or ironic.

My brilliant colleague Iván Chaar López 's tenure denial is not only a threat to UT faculty, but to all scholars who research topics considered "controversial." His case is a model for how to deny tenure with zero justifications to him or his colleagues. www.statesman.com/news/educati...

The president of my college is finally resigning in disgrace, but the situation remains bleak. Our search for a chief librarian was canceled and the adjuncts we hired as stop-gaps when we couldn't replace retired faculty have all been cut. How are we supposed to support students in these conditions?
