Diabreadic has an online home, Twitter! https://t.co/pcY97487NH will now make it easier to find new and past episodes, as well as the blog and other diabetes/bread resources

[Heather R. Walker, Ph.D. @Heather_RoseW]

I'm leaving academia for all the reasons everyone else is

My great resignation story... 🧵

[Stephen Horrocks @Whimpleseth]

Um... Who's surprised?

[Amanda Gorman @TheAmandaGorman]

The truth is, one nation under guns.

[Dorothy Roberts @DorothyERoberts]

In the US, “child protection” means taking children away from struggling families, not ensuring housing, food & health care or safety from violence. It is state violence against children. We need to radically reimagine a society safe for children & how to collectively create it.

[Stephen Horrocks @Whimpleseth]

But this tweet is irrelevant. Because in a couple of days this will fade out of our collective memory, just like the hundreds of others. Instead it will serve as an actionless talking point for the midterms and then *poof*

[Stephen Horrocks @Whimpleseth]

I'm exhausted from the trauma porn. The cycle of millions sharing some meme in supposed collective mourning, which gets everyone emotionally "off" as they settle into the post-emote euphoria (w/ no action). Just as that starts to wear off, another crisis comes to get us off again

[Stephen Horrocks @Whimpleseth]

It's not enough to hold our babies as we watch others' babies suffer and die (though I am holding mine, too). The human cost is too high, and our inaction is immoral.

[Stephen Horrocks @Whimpleseth]

@JessPWestbrook That sounds incredibly therapeutic

[Stephen Horrocks @Whimpleseth]

Amazing the effect of a phone call from an old friend.

[Stephen Horrocks @Whimpleseth]

FYI folks

[Dr Marissa Edwards @DrMarissaKate]

I’m excited to be working on a book proposal about lived experiences of disability + chronic illness in academia. It’s pleasing to see that there are publishers who want to amplify these voices. If you want to know more or would like to contribute, let me know! @AcademicChatter

[DEACTIVATED @thrasherxy]

Noting that in AP copy, 18-yeear-old Michael Brown was an “18-year old Black man,” while 18-year-old Payton Gendron is a “white teenager.”

[Nicole Lee Schroeder, PhD @Nicole_Lee_Sch]

When are we going to incorporate disability studies into medical training? How much of our population (and how much of our population who needs frequent medical care) needs to become disabled before we integrate meaningful curriculum changes? 1/11

[Carla Cevasco, PhD @Cevasco_Carla]

You may be hearing the argument that before the rise of modern commercial infant formula, babies all ate breastmilk and everything was great. As a historian of infant feeding, let me tell you why that’s not true.

[Stephen Horrocks @Whimpleseth]

@UniteThePoor Do you know who did this woodcut?

[Stephen Horrocks @Whimpleseth]

Sam's work questions a lot of assumptions written into BG and CGM data, how they're produced, and what we can do with them. Art as a means of reevaluating *meaning*, away from judgment and toward beauty/creativity 👏 👏

[Diabreadic @diabreadic]

What role can art play in understanding life with Diabetes? And is it possible to think about Diabetic data in creative ways, or even... outside of biomedicine? Dr. @ThulinSamuel's art transforms the numbers, and opens fascinating new possibilities https://t.co/oaQlDyIgN4

[Stephen Horrocks @Whimpleseth]

@DrAriaHalliday 😂 😂 That's the bottom line, bc Dr. Unicorn the Indefatigable said so

[Stephen Horrocks @Whimpleseth]

Heads up, Austin: the one and only is about to come tear it up

[Stephen Horrocks @Whimpleseth]

Hey, Zoom, so... the pandemic isn't over. Capping those 1:1 meetings is not awesome. Kthxbye

[Stephen Horrocks @Whimpleseth]

I sat in my intro to women's, gender, and sexuality studies class a few weeks ago and listened as the folks in that room talked through the history of reproductive rights, access to care, and the future of Roe - a lot of energy from the young folks in this fight

[Stephen Horrocks @Whimpleseth]

Focaccia is one of my favorite breads. Little time and work, serious flavor and structure. Also, all that olive oil 😍🤤

[Diabreadic @diabreadic]

New Highs & Lows! Melissa chats with her mom, Loree about Diabetes in school, diagnosis of your child, negotiating responsibility for care and treatment.. and Loree's favorite, focaccia! #highsandlows #diabreadic #podcast #diabetes #focaccia #diabreadic https://t.co/nkFuHqg0U1
