Communications director @bigcitieshealth. Views my own. Health/science comms, knitting, intersectional feminism, antiracism, queer/trans rights, autism.

@FenitN Agree 💯. I understand the urge to cancel - not buying is sometimes the only power people feel they have. But in this case - in a media landscape where reporter layoffs are already happening regularly - canceling does more harm than good.

@elchefe Fair

@IanColdwater I could AI-generate better casual misogyny than this

You’re never too old to learn … more. I’ve been in comms for a good while but media relations is my softest spot, so treating myself to a course. @michaelsmartpr

@ashleyruba_phd 👆Me 12 years ago. Not a single regret. Now communications director at an amazing nonprofit. And I have found my academic skills valuable everywhere I’ve worked.

@knitgrrl 🙋🏻 I loved it so much

[Elizabeth Green (she/they) @darkmatterknits]

@knitgrrl Aw damn, that series is so brilliant

And now I’m feeling cowardly for having made that choice for *that* reason. Or maybe it’s just that I didn’t need to iron out my gender identity in a national publication. Either way, the in-betweenness of this doesn’t always sit well in a world committed to binaries.

Queer panic, a 🧵: Just finished an interview with a reporter about a messaging research project I led. Despite feeling nervous ahead of time, I ended up hitting all the major points I wanted to emphasize and spoke clearly and confidently. Until …

[Elizabeth Green (she/they) @darkmatterknits]

But I wasn’t about to pour out my life story to this reporter, so I finally mumble-bumbled out that “she/her” was fine and that I didn’t want my gender questioning to distract some (many?) people from the point I was trying to make.
