@OfficialMacroSW The idea that someone could view intersectionality in the same space as white supremacy points to their own ignorance. Having that mindset impedes any efforts towards encouraging intersectionality and the connections that can bring #MacroSW#SUSocialWork
@OfficialMacroSW By actively checking myself, but also by trying to use my privilege to create a space where I can let people who haven’t had the space to speak up actually tell their stories and explain their experiences, rather than assuming I have the expertise there #MacroSW#SUSocialWork
@OfficialMacroSW A2. It’s been addressed through classes, but those classes are short at times, and while they do their best it needs to be more their ouch, and a continuing conversation as it doesn’t just stop once you learn about it #MacroSW#SUSocialWork
@OfficialMacroSW A1 - it can be both in your face and so subtle, and both scenarios are dangerous. It can manifest in unconscious biases and a lack of proper training in the SOWK field, and risk hurting clients who may already be facing it and looking for our help #macrosw#SUSocialWork
I am conducting an IRB-approved research study about LGBTQ+ #mediarepresentation. Seeking participation from people who are 18+ & self-ID as part of the #LGBTQ community, participation is voluntary & anonymous. Please click this link: https://t.co/Y43vFizRRz

@EdwinAl85154225 When we focus more on why we use our cars - to get from point a to point b - and not how fast they accelerate or the speeds we can reach, we can do so much more to make them healthier for ourselves and the environment that we're so unnecessarily polluting #SUsocialwork
@EdwinAl85154225 I think it's a smart tactic to use bigger brands that can be known around the world to start talking about topics like mental health that people tend to skirt around, I'm interested to see how this goes #SUsocialwork
This is one of those times where actions do speak louder than words. Showing that you are willing to give a voice to people who are, even today, being threatened with suppression and a loss of their voices is so important #SUsocialwork
This is heartbreaking to see when such simple medicine could be readily available. The price of this kind of drug & many others will never reflect the cost of production, but the profit that others are making off of their consumers who don't have a choice but to buy #susocialwork
@rachelhobbs925 I agree, it's shocking no one saw before - homeschooling can be a great option for many people, but we absolutely need some sort of regulation around it. It's said in the article even just one annual check could have possibly helped these children long before now. #susocialwork
@burnettabby16 It's concerning to see people with such a lack of empathy that they would so openly mock people whose plights they might never understand just because they were lucky enough to be born in a place they don't have to flee to live. #susocialwork
These laws need to cover everyone & with those in the LGBTQ+ community already being more likely to experience discrimination in their lives, this is so important. Their proficiency in their fields & their standards of practice aren't affected by their orientation #SUsocialwork
I want to say 15 is too young to experience so much hatred, but that fact is there should never be such cruelty expressed to another human being at any age, ever. Rest in peace Nigel. #SUsocialwork
This would be an amazing move - it would take time and a huge shift in ideals and policies, but it doesn't seem so outlandish anymore. Just imagine the impact that this would have on the nation overall in the long run allowing so many more minds to enter higher ed. #SUsocialwork
Free tuition at public institutions isn’t enough. We must also make our higher education system better serve lower-income families and communities of color, and ensure everyone can graduate with zero debt. https://t.co/IG9J5CiNb7
@tmmanz13 This is an amazing substitution for what is definitely an outdated practice, and the results are definitely there to encourage other schools to implement this eventually #susocialwork
@EdwinAl85154225 That's a great point that holds a lot of concerning issues, even bill's general description, to "hold women accountable" makes it sound as if women are the only ones responsible for conception and everything that happens thereafter. #susocialwork
@burnettabby16 This is a real concern, laws like these can so easily be abused, and that needs to be recognized for what it is. Those pointing out that it's not really that bad need to step back and think about why they are defending such a discriminatory law. #susocialwork
Interested in learning more about Sex Trafficking in the USA? Come to a screening and panel of a PBS documentary that explores this topic. Be sure to check out #SUsocialwork's very own Molly McGinty tonight at this event! March 28th 7 to 9pm in Fulton Hall Room 111!
So excited to be in Jacksonville at the BPD conference with @mollymmcginty and @CooperJohannah to present on research and learn from so many innovative professionals in the sowk field! #SUSocialWork
