You have to know the past to understand patterns and see possibilities as well as navigate past barriers for the future.

I am going to constantly run around the world finding interesting concepts & facts, be passionate & outspoken on justice/equity, re-use old tweets to explore new facet in new thread.
I’ll shape shift & if you try to pin me down or box me in, you will be frustrated.

#blackqueens - thank you for always being there. Of all the women in the world, if I had to choose one at my side, I pick a #blackqueen every time. You all are the real deal.

That year ended up a patient in ED twice cuz
-I was working a lot of 12-hour night shifts in the ED
-working as many hours as uncompensated/volunteer for ACA policy work including flying to D.C. often
-dancing non-stop in between
This is how I look w/peak flow ~200 (red) btw

The #DrSusanMoore story really makes me think. I had a #blackqueen nurse friend who worked at the hospital & who knew that I don’t look sick when I am about to collapse. She was not caring for me, rather able to come visit me after she completed her own 12-hour shift.

This is the second time in 24 hours the focus has been in being polite from within #WIM #PROWD
Traits I value:
visionary, innovative
being accurate
humanism
pro-mental health
Polite is a subjective term, often means aligning w/ status quo. Polite people quietly avoid bullies.

Yes, @KamalaHarris is able to smile through her debates and adhere to expected gender norms and avoid any hint of the racist trope of “angry” as a Black woman. But is that really what makes her qualified? Or is it a career worth of experience as well as times she persisted?
What are our priorities? In a busy world, we will only have a chance to achieve 3-5 max. If we put polite and being on time in those top 3-5, where does addressing safety, quality, inequity, mental health fall? Are we judging someone on timeliness who may have chronic illness?
I don't know who needs to hear this, but providing examples of being nice or supportive to women in your own family does not make on a feminist or pro-woman nor does that make you anti-racist regarding POC or WOC or BIPOC. The "I am a good person" is at the root of much harm.
Okay, I do know who needs to hear this and this was not really a subtweet because the individuals who fit this description do not use Twitter. But there is more than one individual who may or may not need to have some deep reflection on what "I am a good person" says about ego.
This is from Australia. If in these times, as a not BIPOC, certainly as a not Black person in America, you are asking "Are you calling me a racist?!" (when that word not uttered but, yes, #implicitbias exists and racism is a #public health crisis)....

As a doctor, need to be able to do one’s job. Also, a doctor is in a position to protect others, *if* role is recognized. #BlackintheIvory

Reporting on black student, trainees, & faculty #SoMe and #SciComm posts is higher - due to #implicitbias or overt racism
Black culture often offends
Institutions need to screen OUT frivolous reporting on black ppl - NOT assume fault
