On the #BostonMarathon weekend, and 9 years after the terror attack, I am again reminded about the misleading nature of #BostonStrong. From reporting for THE DEVIL NEVER SLEEPS, a new story on what strong really means. 1/
I'll be blunt: #bostonstrong gives the false impression that disaster response is about some mood, the Irish blood, the Ortiz "this is our f--king city" attitude. I know why we need that kind of swagger. But it hides something more complicated, tactical. 2/
I've written before about measuring success after the bombings. Tragically, 3 died at the finish line. But given the investments in training, pivoting, the moment of the "boom" tactics, 281 sent to 26 hospitals in 3 states did not die. 3/

"Wow! Much surprise; such clever, making making me think I had to wait 'til I got home from work."
"Yes, very creativity on my part. Now, please.... get dressed. We have company! Much celebrashun!"

The only feelings to center on are those of black community
Wrong use of this quote during the week of #DerekChauvinTrial
Some people “feel” things if a white male faces accountability
Amy Cooper’s feelings: call cops
Racism & racism lite has always focused on “feelings” #BLM

When @ayshakhoury or @uche_blackstock were authentic in their feelings: ended careers
Black female physician #DrSusanMoore having “knowledge” or a “voice”
while DYING
made others
*feel* “intimidated.”
This is part of a known pattern for WOC

This is a repeating pattern of “feelings” used against tellers of uncomfortable truths that #MLK described in the letter from the Birmingham jail.
Seeking order > justice or overpolicing are all to protect only certain “feelings” of “security” while those like #adamtoledo die.

Accountability
Flowers, I will go see she said.
Headed to Esplanade (cuz this photo alone would check a box but would actually be cheating - the power of “optics” or manufactured data whose lives & careers are Twitter).
Question everything you see
See like a #pediatrician

I shall see from a new perspective she said - I will cross on the other side.
(Actually, I wanted to be on the other side but would have to walk a block to cross so, fine, I’ll cross on this side. Bah humbug).

I shall admire the barely born green hope unfurling into the crisp Spring air, fragile yet #resilient, she said
(Yay #Science and @museumofscience #BostonStrong #Boston ... and yes, and requisite monuments to male anatomy and war as well)

I state, highlight, mark up, not insinuate
Why is someone who likely does not menstruate a sudden expert on #womenshealth to identify a WOC seeking #data #quality & #integrity as the threat...to women?
"Respecting" social science = using respectable methods, not online surveys.

What you see in the tweet and the "study" is ego, defensiveness & flagrant Dunning-Kruger effect for #womenshealth, #menstrualhealth, #COVID19, #vaccine #research.

Do you remember? Today, October 8, marks the 5 year anniversary of the closure of Long Island Bridge in #Boston, which cut hundreds of people off from shelter and recovery services. #BostonWarm #StillLongIsland #Bospoli 1/
"when the bridge was finally deemed unsafe for travel on the afternoon of Oct. 8, the city had no emergency evacuation plan in place." It was a disaster for the city of #Boston. So many lives were uprooted. #StillLongIsland #BostonWarm 2/ www3.bostonglobe.com/metro/2014/12/…
Oh, deferred maintenance! Long Island Bridge was crumbling slowly and all of the sudden came down. "We've known for seven or eight years. As did the city. Not a surprise to a lot of folks who know about transportation," #StillLongIsland wgbh.org/news/post/form…
