Solidarity is the exercise of the political imagination beyond the narrow boundaries of our individual lives. It is demeaned precisely because it is so powerful.

The UK government has just cut our ACCESS project entirely. It’s devastating news, at a time when access to contraception & family planning are more vital than ever. @IPPF warns that millions of vulnerable women and girls will pay the price: https://t.co/MskLeYoukf @LSHTM #ukaid

@leonedelia emphasis on 'at least'! 🥲

damn, guess it's back to Fresh Burst then

[Daniel J Carter @methodsmandan]

it has been a dispiriting few months in the academic machine - but reading my students' brilliant & critical & thoughtful essays (written in global near-collapse, no less!!!) makes me so optimistic for the future of epi 🥺

In a biostats class, a professor taught us that our data is often people who fought for their lives and lost and we should respect the weight of that. So f*ck a strip. Here are the names of people who lost their lives to police violence in 2021.

New article in @socscimed – does national health Insurance offer financial protection to TB patients in Ghana? Analyses led by @debpedrazzoli suggest @NHIS_Ghana will not be enough, additional social protection is needed. Free download here https://t.co/ANQHT4D2jK (till May 30th)

[Daniel J Carter @methodsmandan]

see also: race, SEP, literally any social construct 👀

(but my takeaway isn't 'don't control for gender' but instead to ask whether gender is acting as an effect modifier vs a confounder for each particular Q, no?)

[Daniel J Carter @methodsmandan]

ofc not saying a former WC background doesn't have material impacts, but class as just identity diminishes the experiences of people who are actually (structurally kept) precarious in shit labour conditions and that's maybe kinda bad??

[Daniel J Carter @methodsmandan]

weird that in the UK class is treated as identity and not as combo of social/economic/cultural capital -- like when tenured home-owning professors tell me they're working class and I'm sat there like ok hun xo

Thoughtful article by @tweetingtony on the #necropolitics of COVID-19 and the #StateOfAcceptance:

"certain bodies become marked as disposable and thus contribute to a state of acceptance wherein certain bodies are marked as acceptable losses"

On this #WorldTBDay2021 we should remember we cannot end TB without expanding #socialprotection and reducing poverty. https://t.co/uIGCbWfHxy

[Harm Reduction International @HRInews]

People who use drugs have higher rates of tuberculosis regardless of their #HIV status. Yet, most #TB programmes don't include #HarmReduction

Tuberculosis must be integrated into harm reduction services, and vice versa.

We analyzed data on 1,127 killings by police in 2020 - finding alternative responses to mental health, traffic violations and other non-violent situations could substantially reduce fatal police violence nationwide. A thread (1/x). https://t.co/stp7V46Jms
