Listen to the people on the ground. Mutual aid directly to folks is way more helpful than donating to most orgs and charities.
Guys, a brotherly piece of advice for those who donate to charities: Do NOT donate. By God, we don’t see anything.
Yesterday we managed to secure 250 kilos of vegetables in the South: 96 kilos of eggplants and 150 kilos of molokhye. Support here: chuffed.org/project/113222… . The cost was $20 per kilo for the eggplant and $15 per kilo for the molokhye. These prices include 10% commission so total…

Why is it so hard to imagine a world where care is free, universal & unconditional? Because the current system teaches us that care must be earned, health is a private matter, and dependence is failure. Health Communism traces the roots of that lie and how people have fought it.
Just 118 to go - we need to make this weekly goal TONIGHT! It is the bare minimum to send these families money for food. The prices are unbelievably worse than ever. They are on the brink. chuffed.org/project/hope-g…

This admin are saying "people should prove that they deserve health care" as justification for kicking millions off Medicaid. That's eugenics. Health care is a human right, and everyone deserves access to health care no matter who they are, what they do, or how they live.
“How can I thrive in an institution that hates me?” Read our open-access paper on the impact of racism and other stressful life experiences on Black postgraduate students’ mental health 👩🏾🎓👨🏾🎓 So grateful to the students who shared their stories, collaborators and co authors 🖤
They’re also dealing with better air quality, food, sleep, work-life balance, higher wuality clothes and shoes. They have doctors, electrolytes, great water, tons of vitamins and supplements, IV drips, and a wide range of treatments. Money makes being ill a different experience
The people at the top aren’t healthy. They’re just rich enough to pass off their decline as aging or stress.
Nearly 6,000 children in Gaza were hospitalized last month alone for urgent treatment for malnutrition, including more than 1,000 cases of severe malnutrition, the most serious stage and deadly. HELP: chuffed.org/project/136892…. Babies are without nutrition as their mothers cannot…
I’m quoted in this article about the impact of Medicaid cuts in the near future. I wish my disabled rage came out more americanbar.org/groups/diversi…
August is a fantastic time to get ready for the semester. I've planned sessions all month. Topics include group work, window of tolerance, hidden curriculum, accommodations, and mentorship. Sessions designed for connection. #EduTwitter #AcademicChatter bit.ly/AW-2025
I am horrified by how many academics are using AI to summarize research papers and books, not reading them otherwise. Intellectual integrity is meaningful, good-faith engagement with other people's ideas and the experience of learning their ideas on the terms set by the author
