@oneunderscore__ You’ve got a lot of courage and many admirers. Thank you for the work you do. Best wishes for your safety and happiness.

@ritaresarian I’m with you. Let them try to earn a living with their “wit” and “talent”, find out what two part-time, minimum-wage jobs plus gig-ing buys when most landlords won’t even look at you.

@bunsenbernerbmd Former foster McKenzie, aka Millie being adorable with a tennis ball. Bit of a hellion, but adorably so.

@bunsenbernerbmd Tilly is 12? It’s been a rough year, but more food would definitely help.

@tressiemcphd Peace and love to you and all the UNC community, Dr. McMillan Cottom.

@ElleLett What is she, new to this planet? You’d better come to NYC with some armor. Lord knows Coco Gauff does, has ever since she turned pro and started taking sh*t from every casual American tennis fan after every loss AND every win.

@TheScottCharles When men were men, women were women, children died of vaccine-preventable illnesses and dogs roamed the streets rabid…those were the good old days. /s

@CartoonsHateHer There’s no incentive to be the debunker in a mom’s group. You either leave for a less toxic environment or stew in the crazy.

@KevinMKruse It takes so little to let the air out of these overblown ideas. Tell me, sir, how would this affect disaster relief in Hawaii right now? What would be the effect on military preparedness? Who would make sure our food and water stay safe? Who’ll send my social security check?

Someone please explain to me how AI is going to take over the world, but my amazon search for “Toby Flenderson novel” just returned a yodeling pickle.

@phealthsean Crap. I liked his commentary, generally. Hard not to notice how he suddenly had pieces in a dozen high-profile places at once…too good to be true strikes again.

[Jennifer Wu @Jen949806]

@GrimKim Just read your article. I’m so thankful for your writing and organizing. Good luck at the hearing.

[Jennifer Wu @Jen949806]

@DBelardoMD @sentientsixp Brava to you for your empathy. It’s so hard to maintain in the face of dogged resistance.

[Jennifer Wu @Jen949806]

@bakerdphd Ugh. 🤢. Banks was a civil engineer. All those years in a male-dominated profession and she couldn’t fathom recognizing excellence in a Black woman. Texas and Florida are hollowing out their flawed but often brilliant universities in the name of hateful bigotry.

@KendraWrites I’ve never thought of that, but it hits so hard now. I’ve never worked harder, or been treated worse, than in Harvard-affiliated hospitals and research labs. They act like it’s a privilege for you to be there, when it’s their privilege to extract your work that’s really at play.

@ddayen We’ve known for decades that private equity has a loot/pillage/burn approach to every market they enter. Bad when it affects retail goods and services. Catastrophic when it comes to insurance, real estate and medical care! Congress has got to put a stop to this!

[Jennifer Wu @Jen949806]

@SIfill_ Those police officers who are “just doing their jobs”, do they wonder if they’re the bad guys? We all have to be on the streets, picking sides now. I won’t be carrying a gun, but I will stand between “the law” and those it would persecute.

[Jennifer Wu @Jen949806]

@tressiemcphd I started calling out my PI on his bullsh*t halfway through my post-doc. He H*A*T*E*D it, prevented me from leaving his lab, smothered my career. Lots of regrets, but calling him out isn’t among them. Couldn’t have spent a whole career pretending not to see through them.

[Jennifer Wu @Jen949806]

@DrJenGunter I’ve pointed about ten friends toward your books/Substack in the last couple of months. They’re all smart women hungry for smart info on menopause and alleviating therapies…getting great feedback and I wanted to share the love.
