✨this Juneteenth, a reminder to read this excellent annual review on how racism impacts child development. It’s full of important ideas and cultural context. https://t.co/bDvxr54R4V

I just finished my 4th year on the tenure-track. I just got my Ph.D. in august of 2020. And, within them 4 years I loss both my parents, my paternal grandmother, my mentor/friend, and got divorced. So whatever anti-Black, anti-Queer, anti-poor capitalist timeline you got me on…

Please keep it to your goddamn self. Writing is sacred. Writing about embodied archives of ancestral memory in a foreign city like Nueva Yol’ yet familial transgenerationaly takes a minute. Grief writing helps get all of my ideas without any genre in mind just raw flows.

In case you haven’t seen this, the government of Israel is calling US students terrorists for exercising their right to free speech and their right to peaceful assembly.

[Black Men in Social Work, Inc. @BlackMenInSW]

We all have. This doesn’t negate that they are social work adjacent but not social workers.

[Mari Copeny @LittleMissFlint]

To most he was this huge personality but to me he was the only city official to ever support me, come out and volunteer at my events, and always encouraged me. He called me Medium Miss Flint as I grew up. He loved this city more than anyone. You will be missed Eric Mays 💔 #RIPEricMays

What a great photo of you, Daddy.

Missing you, love you.

Notice what happens...

A white girl is bullying a smaller Black girl.

Kids laugh, the teacher does nothing.

A Black girl jumps in to defend her friend and starts beating the brakes off of the bully.

The teacher jumps in to stop it.

I wonder whyTE.

Financial pressures made work in academia feel like "an indulgent hobby" for one faculty member. Here's why she and others have left academia: https://t.co/htCok2ik02

[Maxine Davis, MSW, MBA, PhD @DrMaxineDavis]

I thought deeply (hours/1+yr.) bout how, where, if I should reveal the secrets & details of my mid-tenure review. I decided to give the exclusive to @chronicle. However, it was more important to amplify that my story isn’t an isolated set of events🧵 1/3 https://t.co/YLoH15RDLS

[Maxine Davis, MSW, MBA, PhD @DrMaxineDavis]

So, @AcademicChatter in solidarity w/ every voice academia has unjustly lost, I take pleasure in shedding light alongside these 4 brave souls. It doesn’t have to be this way. But if we don’t talk about it/expose the uncomfortable truths—the current state of affairs remain. 2/3

[Maxine Davis, MSW, MBA, PhD @DrMaxineDavis]

While it would be easy to place blame solely on #ScottRyan, the truth is—He doesn’t act alone but is emboldened by a @utsystem that upholds him. Although he does bear the brunt of allegations these assoc. deans are also responsible.
