@ASA_Bodies I have to correct my previous statement: @genderteach, @drjonessoc, and Miranda Waggoner are chairing the graduate student publication, best book, and best article committees and doing 99% of the work. I'm so grateful for these amazing leaders.

@AbcarianLAT You're mocking the "sideshow" not the women...

[Kjerstin Gruys @KjerstinGruys]

@AbcarianLAT Eh, I feel like have a pretty sensitive radar for body shaming and nothing set off my alarm bells... 🧐

@sie_center @marieeberry @josefkorbel @UofDenver Congratulations! I can't wait to learn more. :)

@theyoungjoo We use blackout film + curtains. Learn the nap routine at school. You may have to more or less sleep train him again: if he comes out of his room, put him back without interacting at all. No eye contact, no conversation, no emotion + whole house is quiet (like in school).

FYI - if you aren't confident in how to pronounce someone's name, just ask. Don't feel embarrassed. Trust me, people know if their name has an unusual spelling or is not common in the dominant culture. I am touched when people ask. Sincerely, KEER-stin Gr-"eyes" #ASA2022

@drjonessoc 🤬🧐😥

[Kjerstin Gruys @KjerstinGruys]

Same, same same. :( I 100% understand why folks are dropping out. I really wish there was a reasonable hybrid option.

Y’all, I’m not looking at email anymore today. Six, count them six emails today about people pulling out of @ASAnews. Brilliant panels falling apart. This is not at all a complaint about people protecting themselves, kin, and communities. This just sucks!

[Kjerstin Gruys @KjerstinGruys]

Work mtg starts w/ "pls introduce yourself & share the last book you read." My colleagues: brilliant sociological monographs. Me: "Green Eggs & Ham + the book equivalents to made-for-tv-movies abt lady FBI agents hunting serial killers whilst banging the sexy local local cop."😳

@theyoungjoo I also have a “threenager” right now. Solidarity. This article helped me understand why time-outs and angry warnings were backfiring. https://t.co/MkP4QoalGy

@marieeberry @ASAnews @IGLI_DU Bummer dude!!! :(

[Kjerstin Gruys @KjerstinGruys]

@c_j_pascoe yup.

[Kjerstin Gruys @KjerstinGruys]

@PamOliver1180 I received 6 reviews on my first solo-authored paper! It's a compliment that so many were interested. Also - view it as an opportunity to really pick & choose which directions to take in revision, since there are bound to be multiple approaches suggested!

[Kjerstin Gruys @KjerstinGruys]

@CaitlynMCollins Hooray!!! So proud of you. 😍

[Kjerstin Gruys @KjerstinGruys]

Heading to Sacramento for @PacificSocAssoc. Hope to see ya'll there! :)

[Kjerstin Gruys @KjerstinGruys]

@familyunequal @ASAnews Excellent! I just did a shallow dive and saw that the press I think will be the best fit for my book project has done well in the sections I am most aligned with. :)
