You’ve most likely read about the layoffs. I’ve lost my staff job at Bustle. *I’m looking for editing, writing work for May & beyond.* I feel numb, along with a crippling fear that I don’t have the following to get a post like this seen, but I welcome any help. #JournoRequest 1/
Okay, first look at the @USWNT on @hbomax. A thing I like is that when I opened the app, this game was the first thing advertised. I didn’t have to go searching for it.
The first low bar: Cleared ✅✅✅
@HeydonEmily We are simply asking for accommodations that will help us to succeed *given [insert challenging/unique circumstance here]* Anyways, this student’s story is heartbreaking and academia can be so, so tough.
@HeydonEmily I “already missed so much class” (two weeks for funeral) and so it needed to be turned in with everyone else’s. I think professors who think along these lines fail to understand that we’re not asking for help to get out of putting in the work.
The overwhelming majority of sexual assault and rape (80%) is never reported to police and never will be.
Most assaults happen by someone known or trusted. Forcing survivors to recognize, relive, & convince strangers in public of what happened to them is extremely traumatizing.
@wagesofwins @MarinaAdshade Yes definitely, I will never forget the ones who did, it really meant a lot and helped me get through the semester. They were amazing.
@wagesofwins @MarinaAdshade My little brother passed away in Sept. (my 1st semester of grad school). I was not aware of a centralized resource/spoke to profs directly. Not every prof responds the same to adjusting deadlines. Def needs to be more support for grieving students (ty for tweeting about it 💜)
We shouldn’t have to keep asking for women’s sports to be put on at sports bars.
Per Nielsen, 84% of general sports fans are interested in women’s sports, and 66% of the general population is interested in at least one women’s sport.
Put them on the TVs.
The Little League World Series (which I completely enjoy!) is on ABC, but I have to watch @NWSL and @WNBA on esoteric streaming platforms? Make it make sense
Why are pro women’s soccer players working side hustles to make ends meet when the avg. player in @MLS earns $398.7K? Because the maximum player salary for the @NWSL is $52.2K. Women pro soccer players deserve better. #NoMoreSideHustles#TimesUpPayUp https://t.co/axX99vKqrJ
