As I’m at store.kamalaharris.org trying to figure out which long sleeve tee to buy, I’ve been thinking about why her candidacy is so important and meaningful to me. I’ll share 😀 #thread #Khive #ForThePeople
We are Sorors, pledged at the same time (Spring 1986, Alpha Chapter at Howard for her, Nu Alpha at Emory for me). Obviously sisters of the same mind there. I trust her judgment!
💕💚 #AKA1908 💕💚
#Kamala reminds me so much of the promise of #AKA1908, the focus on service. When I heard her say yesterday at #LJ19 that the 1st words she spoke in court were “Kamala Harris, For The People...” it was just electrifying, because she is sincere. #KHive

While I cannot attest to the veracity of these reports, I think there are misconceptions here about climate-linked humanitarian crises. One of the effects of climate change is the increased frequency of extreme events such as droughts and floods. #Thread 1/10
So, just because there have been severe floods in certain parts of the country *does not* negate the occurrence of droughts in other parts. I think the term "localized" needs to be emphasized in this context because the impact of extreme weather events is seldom uniform. 2/10
Here is a very basic background of the rainy season over Somalia. During the Gu, the Somali Jet plays a key role in transporting moist air from an area of high pressure around south of Madagascar, past the Horn of Africa to India. The Jet dumps its moisture along the way. 3/10

New #thread picking up on May 13 #NXIVM trial testimony beginning after the mid-morning break. Planning to work through at least the rest of this transcript today.
This starts with Vicente saying that he has a question. The prosecution calls a sidebar to tell the judge they do not know what the question is but also they do not object to the judge having a conversation with Vicente on or off the record.
Vicente joins the side bar. Says his question is related to the last set of questions. Says there was something he omitted and remembers when he left that he thought was important. Says he wasn’t sure of procedure.

We’re a group of Aussies in the USA who help former Manus and Nauru detainees here, and we have something to say about the Medevac legislation and offshore healthcare 👇 #Thread
We’re not political, but the fact is that healthcare on the islands catastrophically bad, particularly for women. We know this because of the many, many of untreated issues refugees arrive with in the USA...
Botched vaginal tear repairs. Leaky heart valves. Untreated fungal infections. Stomach infections. Severe skin conditions. Former detainees have to navigate the confounding US healthcare system to get the vital, basic treatment they should have received years ago...

A quick #thread on the importance of #mentorship and critical #feedback in writing. I’m targeting students, trainees, and younger faculty who struggle with the #mentoring process- I’ll share some vulnerability to demonstrate a #growthmindset- I’ll also recommend 2 books.

A couple of weeks ago I was invited by @AnnalsATS to write an editorial for a paper. I loved the topic so I quickly agreed and started ordering my thoughts. It was a quick turnaround- 2 weeks, so I had to get moving.
2/
I worked diligently on the draft and invited @vitaincerta to co-author- she is smart as a whip and a terrific writer and I knew she would really help to shape a well-written piece. She agreed and I sent her my #ShittyFirstDraft.
