In states that cut jobless benefits, for every 8 workers losing UI, just one got a job. Author's thread on this important research below. (The NYT summarized this way: "Cutting off jobless benefits early may have hurt state economies." (link at bottom of thread))

I spent last night thinking of medical work arounds for this horrific law, until it is rectified in the courts. So, this is what I would tell my daughter or her friends if they were in Texas. [I know this isn't enough, but as a mom, and doctor, I am sharing my thoughts].

I abolished late penalties from my graduate syllabi/teaching practices in 2018 as part of implementing an inclusive pedagogy. Curious on the number of students who’ve totally blew off coursework or waited until the very last day to submit all their work? ZERO, yup absolutely 0.

I welcome in rest as an act of decolonizing. I rest for my Ancestors who couldn’t. I rest for the deprogramming of my parents who think working more is better. I rest for my Spirit to know it’s power. I rest for the future gen to know peace. 🌀

I thought I knew what tired felt like until I started getting my MSW and PhD at the same time 💀 😴 how people can get through the day without nap time is beyond me

It’s staggering how much our economy depends on women’s free labour. It’s undervalued, overlooked, and unjust. It’s their unpaid care work that’s the backbone of our economy, not billionaires.

The repeal of Roe really hit different in a #WFRN2022 session, chatting about how our ECE infrastructure is egregiously underfunded 🙃

Here’s how Dems can + must do more than wait for an election. Let’s start w/ why: - 7 of the 9 justices were appointed by a party that hasn’t won a popular vote more than once in 30 years - 1 of those seats was stolen - Several lied to Congress to secure their appointment…

My newest obsession is scissor-tailed flycatcher birds. Can you believe these beauties just hang out on telephone lines where they’re easy to see?? (Best part of Arkansas so far. Besides my family, of course)
