So pleased and grateful to see that #A2Council passed the ord. to make sure that free period products are available in all public bathrooms! Was also awed and inspired hearing @NancyKramer speak after I did about her decades of hard work toward period parity. What a role model!

@juliewbee Thank you so much!!

[Quinn (they/them/theirs) @SwQuinn]

Super nervous as I'm getting ready to call in to the #a2council meeting to advocate for free period products in public bathrooms. Working on #EMUChangingtheCycle has made me so passionate about trying to make period products accessible for everyone who needs them!

@obrien1988 Thank you! My nerves got in the way and I talked way too fast, but it seems like people were able to understand me anyway 😅

[Quinn (they/them/theirs) @SwQuinn]

@xMegaMichellex Thank you for the boost and support!!

Finally, please tell EVERYONE about this program! Spreading the word ensures people have access to products when they need them! Check out our website for more info, and to find bathrooms with #EMUCTC dispensers. Thank you for helping us #changethecycle! https://t.co/TibftqyK3S

Excited to finally share what I've been working on all summer! I'm so proud to be part of EMU Changing the Cycle, providing FREE 100% organic pads and tampons to anyone who needs them on EMU's campus https://t.co/fipVZl0gH6 #EMUChangingtheCycle #TrueEMU #FreePeriod

If you are ever on EMU's campus, please check out our free-vend dispensers from @GoAuntFlow, and take the survey on the poster in the bathroom so that we can have data on who and how we're helping! This data is VITAL for making EMU Changing the Cycle sustainable through grants!

Had my first day of in-person classes yesterday, and I already made a friend! We hung out, had a snack together (they had a leaf, I had coffee) and then they hopped off to chill in a garden while I headed in to class. #TrueEMU #Marshall

@DrShannaK @CassieDPH I think it's fantastic that you surveyed your students in advance to make sure that lip-reading wouldn't be needed, and that you're moving online so quickly. I've only had one class so far but haven't been thrilled with my peers' mask (mis)usage in a small room for 2.5 hours 😕

[Quinn (they/them/theirs) @SwQuinn]

Had a great first day of (virtual) internship training! So excited to be a part of this work, and really looking forward to getting to know my new coworkers :)

Hey @facebook! I'm the elected prosecutor (DA) in Washtenaw County, Michigan.

We're trying to get the word out about new laws that let people to clear old criminal records--but y'all blocked us from boosting posts, apparently because we referenced marijuana in this one. /1

Has anyone in #mutualaid circles seen "Take Some/Leave Some" bins for bags of returnable cans/bottles before? I'm trying to set something similar up locally at some mutual aid sites, but wanted to see how it has been done before and learn from others' experiences

[Quinn (they/them/theirs) @SwQuinn]

@DrShannaK I intro myself every class with "I'm Quinn, I'm nonbinary, I use they/them pronouns." After getting misgendered 99% of the time, I've decided that I'm going to add "I will politely correct you if you call me 'she/her,' because SWers need to be used to using/hearing singular they"

@theADHDacademic (Basically, relying as little on my memory as possible 😆)

[Quinn (they/them/theirs) @SwQuinn]

@theADHDacademic So far what's worked for me is writing down all my due dates in my planner as soon as the syllabi are published (color-coded by class so it's easy to tell at a glance), and writing my reading due dates on post-its in the front of each text book. Easy to know what to read and when

Tomorrow is the last day of the summer semester, I'm done with all of my assignments, I already got the celebration balloons from Canvas, time to *checks notes* do all of the chores I put off over the last 13 weeks...
