It’s morally insane that a week after a mass shooting took six lives in our community, House Republicans only response is to expel us for standing with our constituents to call for gun control.

What’s happening in Tennessee is a clear danger to democracy all across this nation.

[No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen @NoLieWithBTC]

Maybe cable news channels can take a tiny break from covering what Trump had for lunch to show the massive crowds of young people flooding into Nashville to demand Republicans pass gun reform. https://t.co/Mo9CwT3oAr

This whole thread is an important reminder that our biases are blind spots—when a colleague cares enough to call us in, the appropriate response is humility and changed behavior

[Academic Mom, PhD @Momademia]

Sometimes being a parent in academia feels like riding a bike with a flat tire - you're working as hard as you can, you're exhausted and sweaty, but people are passing you with ease.

At @WIPerinatal annual meeting, feeling grateful to be called into the work by @RRHDr ‘s keynote on Reproductive Justice.

One of my professors stopped putting pdfs of articles in the class Canvas. She explained that “because we’re reading scholarship of marginalized thinkers, it helps them to have their work searched and downloaded.” 🤯

@jdillardwright Officially time to cancel that Atlantic subscription. The hot takes lately have been devolving into the most harmful...

[Jennifer Ohlendorf, PhD, RN @jendorf1]

Proud to be featured on the ANS blog this week for the theory synthesis I completed with my colleague, Lisa Anders: https://t.co/iQykbWXUmo @MUNurses @UNCGNursing Presenting this work at the @WIPerinatal poster session later this month. See you there?

[Jennifer Ohlendorf, PhD, RN @jendorf1]

@jdillardwright So so many unacceptable things in our Reproductive health text

3. Running and other workout groups: what small changes could you make to be size- and ability-inclusive? Does your leadership include folks who have traditionally been marginalized? Can you eliminate diet talk and weight talk from your group?

[Jennifer Ohlendorf, PhD, RN @jendorf1]

@TheMirnavator created an online community for women runners in larger bodies and now I get to tell the stories of some of these women. @MUNurses

2. Healthcare providers: check your anti-fat biases. Normalize the capability of fat bodies, encourage joyful movement. Stop looking surprised when your fat patients say they already run/exercise. Many of them do lots of healthy things.

[Jennifer Ohlendorf, PhD, RN @jendorf1]

Key takeaways: 1. Coaches, teachers, parents: check your biases about young girls’ bodies. Your words can be powerful enough to stop a girl from moving her body.

A family member admitted to the hospital for IV antibiotics just told me the RN took "2 hot sauce bottles of blood" which is how i will be referring to blood cultures from now on.

@grace13star Ummmm… who gave IB their $$? 😘

[Jennifer Ohlendorf, PhD, RN @jendorf1]

@jdillardwright Congrats!!!

@US_FDA if Moderna’s data supports both safety and efficacy, approve it now. These children deserve protection

[Dr. Angela Rasmussen @angie_rasmussen]

Why should FDA wait until June for Pfizer?

As always—the data should rule. If Moderna has data to support approval now, then DO IT NOW

[Rep. Lauren Underwood @RepUnderwood]

Every birthing person has a right to experience a safe and healthy pregnancy, birth, and postpartum period, and we have a path forward through the Senate to make this happen.
