This is a very personal fundraiser for me. KoRoot was there for me in 2022 when I tried to find birth family & answers. They gave me a place to stay. They listened and offered kindness. They gave hugs and emotional support. They helped me figure out the transportation and how to get COVID tested. +

EVERYTHING IS AWFUL

I am not a huge football fan, but watching the Eagles sack MAGA-MFer Mahomes, feeling Batiste’s rendition of the anthem in my soul, seeing an American flag made up of incredible Black dancers, and watching the Pulitzer Prize winning Kendrick Lamar …. This really feels like resistance in pop culture.

Guess how many times I asked “who is that white guy” and the guy was Tom Brady.

Kendrick Lamar has barely moved from the waist down but still has more rushing yards than the Chiefs.

For as bad as this has been for the Chiefs in this first half, it could be worse. They could be Drake in about 15 minutes.

If this wasn’t your favorite Super Bowl ad so far, you’re wrong.

Just showed the latest ‘HeGetsUs’ Super Bowl ad to Jesus and Johnny Cash and they’re both freaking PISSED.

This game is incredible.

🚨BREAKING. From a program officer at the National Science Foundation, a list of keywords that can cause a grant to be pulled. I will be sharing screenshots of these keywords along with a decision tree. Please share widely. This is a crisis for academic freedom & science.

“Targethiv.org, run by the Health Resources + Services Admin, is already down. And as of Jan 29th, a security measure was put in place blocking the archiving of targethiv.org. The employee stressed that they were told it wasn’t just HIV resources that were being impacted, but the entire site.”

Archivists+ … has anybody read/used the book Exploring the Archives: A Beginners Guide for Qualitative Researchers by K. Roulston? I have a prof using this as a text for a class and I find the book to be super problematic. Would love to discuss.

I was uncomfortably cornered in an elevator packed with fac/staff and spotted a similarly uncomfortable 1styr student with a BT21 lanyard… “I like your lanyard.” “Uh, thanks.” “Who’s your bias?” “Jk. You?” “V.” ✌🏼 And we both smiled stupidly big. #btsarmy 💜💜💜

What survivors know that society must recognize: “Sexual assault often goes unpunished when victims fail to fight back. But investigators, psychologists and biologists all describe freezing as an involuntary response to trauma.”
