Officially all done with my PhD! 🎉🎉🎉 If anyone is interested in reading my dissertation, “Sweet Deception: A History of the Health Politics of Saccharin in the United States” please DM me for a copy. I could use your feedback as I work on turning it into a book!

State bans on these 5 chemicals would have significant ramifications for the entire country. But it's also important to remember there are more than 10,000 currently permitted additives. How much do we really know about what's in our food?

[Jay Stone @jays_tone]

An interesting development 🧐, but one that would not address the systemic issues in food additive regulation

[The New York Times @nytimes]

California and New York could ban some food additives that have been linked to cancer, neurodevelopmental issues and hormone dysfunction. Here’s what to know about the five chemicals, which most often show up in baked goods, candy and soda. https://t.co/629kfQAoYM

[Jay Stone @jays_tone]

As @mvmaffini and others have documented, hundreds of chemicals have entered the US food supply without rigorous toxicological testing. There is a significant gap between what the law theoretically requires and what is going on in practice. https://t.co/RFEL7Mxfh2

@eayers0 There’s still time for you to become a florist if that’s what you really want! 💐🌹🌷🌻

at best welcoming COVID endemicity is a neoliberal apology for the failure of most gov's ability to properly handle COVID-19 for the past two years. At its worst this view is a neodarwinian fatalism. We need to stand against both. This history matters.

@Kyrathion 😂😂😂 Hopefully they will go back down to 5 letters tomorrow to prevent injuries…

[Jay Stone @jays_tone]

[Jay Stone @jays_tone]

@eayers0 @AyahNerd Yep, this is all way too relatable 😬

Educators: do better. I'm tired of watching disabled students wither under discriminatory policies and procedures. Just because something is the norm doesn't mean it's good or useful or deserves a place in our unis. 17/17 #DisabilityTwitter #AcademicTwitter #AcademicChatter

[Jay Stone @jays_tone]

Important reminders for the start of the semester! We must do better to make courses accessible, especially for disabled students, and especially during a global pandemic.

[Nicole Lee Schroeder, PhD @Nicole_Lee_Sch]

This thread is for educators bc I am worried by how my students talk about their accommodations. Many are apologetic, many feel the need to convince me that they CAN do well and that they ARE smart. And all I can think is: what the fuck did you do to make them feel this way? 1/17

@spenceweinreich I 100% had that shirt when I was in middle school 😂

[Jay Stone @jays_tone]

@katebcarp Yes! When I wrote mine I periodically took walks around the block to collect my thoughts. Good luck! You’ve got this!!

[Jay Stone @jays_tone]

@Kyrathion Thank you!! Yes, so important
