Just found out that Taylor & Francis has sold access to all @routledgebooks data to Microsoft to train their AI. This includes my publications. I get no payment for using my research labour, never mind the bigger problems of this energy-intensive extractivism...

Devastating news. IN is one of the most lethal places to be pregnant or born in the US, especially for BIPOC, with 3rd-highest maternal mortality & 10th-highest infant mortality rates. Forcing pregnancy through abortion bans while divesting from Black and Brown life /1

@moi_o_see @alex_zee Thanks for all the psych commentary and clinical trial links @moi_o_see. Placing different forms of knowledge in conversation doesn’t have to be adversarial. Is “assertive” an emic word or just field specific jargon?

@moi_o_see @alex_zee Oh, what a spatial interesting diagram: a social engineering / stochastic network shit sandwich.

@MollieMarr At 26, I was working as a research assistant and my boss (a white male psychiatrist) told me I would need to choose between a PhD and having a baby because there wouldn’t be time for both. I say this at 35 with a 1 year old, entering my final year in a PhD program.

The optics here are exquisite. No notes.

A very good piece by Jill Lepore. “behind parents’ rights, lies another unbroken strain: some Americans’ fierce resistance to the truth that, just as all human beings share common ancestors biologically, all Americans have common ancestors historically. https://t.co/lzFWeXQA9c

Residents' sense of control is key to a successful village for formerly homeless people, according to a study published by Portland State University (PSU) Tuesday.

As Portlanders wrung their hands about the condition of city streets, something odd happened last year: The metro-area economy boomed. https://t.co/ft8Kzkmo6f

"Slum" is also an autonomous space, created and controlled by a community with reciprocity. The containment camp models that make it possible to persecute unhoused people like the Safe Sleep village, or in Portland, the Safe Rest villages are not.

Do you think we should continue to allow more outdoor seating & create more street plazas all around Portland? That's our vision. However, it will only continue beyond August with Council funding. If you support this, please reach out to my office & my colleagues to let us know!

This matters to Oregon, a state that may see an influx of people seeking abortion from neighboring states if Roe is reversed (and laws like these are upheld):

How to say you don’t live in Portland without saying you don’t live in Portland….

A Feb. 15 campaign email from City Council candidate Rene Gonzalez solicited contributions by using a photo showing trash and remnants of tents strewn about an entire block of Portland’s South Waterfront.

There's just one problem. https://t.co/VlOawt5eTr

Oregon was again poised to be the first state to pass a law restoring the right to vote to prisoners. But, according to House Dems, that bill will have to wait another year.
