This is how you do it, folks, one of the best and the brightest, kindest and most compassionate who has ever come through Annenberg. And he came through with joy, with concern, and with power & leaves to do good.
Today I successfully defended my dissertation--Focused [in] the Frame: African American Community Participation in Philadelphia Public Access Television. Proud to join the ranks as Dr. Haywood! #PhinisheD Grateful for support from my family, peers, and colleagues

It’s super weird watching Grad Student Twitter which is all like “just got maced, leg broken, here’s my bail fund” and Administrative Twitter which is all like “proud to announce Gumblethorp hall won the tasters award for best new wallpaper” all on my timeline at once.

Thank you Jean Haskell for writing this letter to the editor asking our mayor for compassion & collaboration when it comes to substance use & OD. Harm reduction is evidence-based and widely supported by medical and public health experts. Read the letter: inquirer.com/opinion/letters…

I hope someone over at @PHLPublicHealth puts together a slide deck on harm reduction with some survivor stories. Maybe they never get off drugs. But maybe they also don’t get hepatitis or give it to someone else.

Found an iPhone on the side of the road... Still in airplane mode with half a battery and open to a baggage claim for #AlaskaAirlines ASA1282 Survived a 16,000 foot drop perfectly in tact! When I called it in, Zoe at @NTSB said it was the SECOND phone to be found. No door yet😅

Wait, what?
1 in 10 Black men born in Pennsylvania in the 1980s have been in solitary confinement, according to a 2021 study in @sciencemagazine: buff.ly/41aHQjt That's an astonishing number. Or at least, it should be. (1/3)

Do you ever get fatigued of people asking "what's next?" when you're showing them the thing that's taken every waking moment of the past eight months? That week off you were going to take never gets closer.

X says I need to post more content instead of reXing other people's achievements. So here's empty content designed by Elon Musk's algorithm. I feel like I'm really helping the social media experience now.
