Wow! Imagine if we had a pill that could cut suicide rates in half? It’d be the top selling drug on the market! Alternatively, we can treat people with respect and trust them when they tell us who they are #trans #nonbinary #proud #LGBTQ

[The Trevor Project @TrevorProject]

Happy @PronounsDay! 💜 Pronouns matter. According to our research, trans and nonbinary youth who report having their pronouns respected by all or most of the people in their lives attempted suicide at half the rate of those who did not. Learn more: https://t.co/k2td9gNjP1

I’ve been doing some self work to eliminate #ableist language from my vocabulary. It is telling how much I’ve used terms related to mental illness when describing something so awful I can’t fathom it. The correct “c” word here is criminal. This is criminal. #COVID19

🚨🚨Here’s the big piece I’ve been promising: an Atlantic cover story about the US’s catastrophic mishandling of the pandemic. It’s a full autopsy of what went wrong, every unattended weakness & unheeded warning, every festering wound & reopened scar. 1/

“The goal is to let every kid drink something from under the sink. It’s up to each parent to decide which bottle. I’m not a doctor so I can’t say if it’s healthy, just that the goal is to have them drink. If the parents refuse, we’ll take away the sink” - @BetsyDeVosED, basically

I learned about the ways modern medicine can catalyze mental health crises the hard way. Wrote about it too. The generous responses I've received from other health care professionals who've experienced something similar tell me it's more widespread than people think.

[Esther Choo, MD MPH @choo_ek]

Getting mental health care can be shameful and a career killer for a physician. That needs to change.

We also know that COVID has neuropsychiatric effects but do not acknowledge that in return to work criteria. That needs to change.

For academics (especially White academics, but this goes for everyone) reading #BlackintheIvory and wondering how you can support Black students and academics here is a thread of things to consider a number which have been especially supportive of my own professional development

Trans women are women.
Some AFAB folks are women.
All women deserve equitable treatment.
All AFAB people deserve equitable treatment.
Stop making it harder than it is.
