upEND Cofounder Maya Pendleton writes reflections on Pride 2024: It is impossible to ignore all of the ways U.S. policy –here and abroad– continues to make the world unsafe for LGBTQ people, especially those who exist along the margins of other oppression.

Rural Health Equity often gets skipped (even in the classes I teach!). A reminder of its importance

It's Pride Month | Lisa Bari and Shruti Kothari note that very little sexual orientation and gender identity (SOGI) data is collected, seriously hampering efforts to understand needs or improve health equity. Read the full Aug 2023 article: https://t.co/O2SFf9J7Cn

🗣️Can't beat a @rohankhaz thread! Our @aap_peds study of machine translation for discharge instructions raises safety, quality concerns for Haitian Creole (+ likely other languages of limited diffusion). Cautious implementation is advised.

Every day, more than 100 Americans are killed with guns.

Gun homicide rates in the U.S. are 26x higher than other developed nations.

I #WearOrange in honor of those who lost their lives to gun violence.

In this paper, I along with my co-authors (@KatieNasher, @ambrosehwong, @mollymarkowitz, @drkrissyy, Leah Robinson, and Laura Cramer) highlight that not only are there racial disparities in physical restraint, but those disparities are actually WIDER among girls… 1/

A terrific fight for the FIDE Women’s World Championship title ended with Ju Wenjun retaining her crown for the fourth time with a win in the very final game against Lei Tingjie. Both players fought like gladiators in what was an epic match. Congrats to the champ!

Hundreds of resident physicians at Boston Medical Center donned white coats in the midday heat for what they called a “unity break” in front of the hospital to demand better pay and working conditions: https://t.co/xS6vVN4ess

@DrRobbieMD @TheBCRP Teaching to transgress is probably the more realistic option. Pedagogy is great but a bit of a lift!

In banning affirmative action, the Supreme Court has *not* banned using race in college admissions. "Race neutral" is a legal fantasy, the latest to conserve racism. As Uma Jayakumar and I write @TheAtlantic, “race neutral” is the new “separate but equal.”

Stopped by the Phillies game to celebrate my birthday with my family — and the Phanavision showed our 24/7 live feed.

Thanks @Phillies for supporting the hardworking women and men of the Philadelphia Building Trades who are working their tails off to rebuild I-95.

Always remember that having at least one accepting adult can lower an LGBTQ young person’s odds of suicide risk by 40%.

Be that one adult.
