I have time to read one more book this summer. Suggestions? @rebeccamakkai@laurenthehough@goodreads Faves: The Great Believers; Blow Your House Down; Heart is a Lonely Hunter.
@sarahfoss22 Is there a way to save this thread?
Also, I’m a medical anthropologist and in a Theories of the Body class the students watch a documentary called “Queen of Lapa” about a community of transgender prostitutes. It’s a beautiful film.
@FalguniSheth@mengresearch Wait--so this was an email that *you* were on but the writer referred to you by your last name? Why a group email? Such an embarrassing power.
Someone who continues to teach me (no, I've never met him) what it means to be brave, to put your body and life on the line, and show up for others. As @rebeccamakkai put in, @peterstaley is the original OG.
@AimiHamraie I do a mental health check in/talk. Tell them this is time in semester when people's mental wellness gets wobbly, that I take it seriously. let them know that if struggling they can reach out, that i have NO stigma around it, and we can work out what we need to re the course.
