Let's talk about #MarshaPJohnson, a 🧵 (TW riot, assault, bigotry, hate crimes, slurs)

Marsha "Pay It No Mind", Johnson was an incredible activist, sex worker, drag queen, and black trans woman who every queer person in the US today owes a debt of gratitude. A photo of Marsha P Johnson...
Hers is a name you've almost definitely heard before... she has been honored in books, documentaries, a google icon tribute, and much more since her death in 1992. However, many accounts of her life are sanitized, more palatable versions of the truth. This thread will not be. A photo of Marsha P Johnson...
Many articles on her early life deadname and misgender her, which you will also not find here. She arrived in New York City from her hometown in New Jersey at only age 17 and quickly established herself in Greenwich Village. This was not the Village as it's known today. Marsha P Johnson stands at ...

One of the most frustrating things about #ADHD is how it disrupts your sense of time and how that impacts hourly work. I genuinely care about being a good employee and about doing my work well, but doing it between prescribed hours is immensely difficult for me.
I (try not to) wonder about how much more employable I would be or where I would be in my career right now if I had been able to do my courses and/or work asynchronously. The few courses (and bit of work) I have been able to do that way returned stunningly improved results for me
I really wish I experienced linear time bc the world (and especially the workforce) is constructed with the assumption that everyone experiences time the same way and I’m so tired of worrying that I look like I don’t care bc my brain doesn’t work the same way.

So apparently today was the first time a lot of people on my TL learned what a TERF is, so I’m going to educate y’all on some more queer history, since it’s shockingly unknown. For today, let’s talk about the color pink. 🧵
Before World War II, pink was considered the masculine color. No, really, it was. It was associated with blood, particularly warfare (think bloody rags), and was associated in the west with masculinity, strength and courage. In the late 1800s/early 1900s, a marketing strategy...
...was implemented that encouraged parents to dress their boys in pink and their girls in blue. It was most likely a scheme to get parents to buy multiple sets of children’s clothes, because before that, children’s clothes were usually white and completely gender neutral.

As an undergrad interested in epidemiology, in 2018, I did a Viral Ecology project about “the next big one”, and my 21 year old self spitballed that it would likely be a coronavirus or hantavirus, transmitted from bats, likely in Southeast Asia, possibly in a live wet market.
I have it posted online in 2018. The point isn’t that I was exceptional (I wasn’t), it was that science knew exactly what was coming and where to look, but no one listened. One of the first frightening actions of the Trump Admin that was largely overlooked was the dismantling of-
-the pandemic surveillance and preparedness systems in the United States.
