We did it! “Poverty and Culture” is being retracted!!! May this be the last time a journal is so cavalier about what it publishes. Racism has absolutely no place in academia. #MedRacism #MedTwitter #MedBikini

After finishing training, I was inundated with “Hey, Jimmy, do you want to…” … join this committee … write a book chapter … help with this study … teach students in X or Y I felt so much pressure to say yes. Until I created my Hell Yes Policy 1/5 #MedEd #MedTwitter

I'm so tired of Black folks in leadership positions being called "intimidating." What attributes are intimidating? Our speech? Thoughts? Expressions? #sickandtired #minoritytax

1/3 In Elon’s Twitter, people who are targeted by hate speech will still see the hate speech… just everyone else won’t. People can harass and threaten you and the algorithm will protect them, hiding their abuse and *your* trauma from sight so that they can’t be held accountable.

Ye “finessed” his way out of being a billionaire? lmao 🥴 are y’all okay? Ye’s net worth dropped from 2B to $400 million in less than 2 weeks, and he lost hundreds of supporters, networks & business partners bc of antisemitism and hate speech. Y’all want to support him so bad.
Did Kanye just finesse his way out of all of his contracts LMFAO

When I was a first year medical resident, I became a mother. Right before I delivered, I was the star intern. But when I came back 4 weeks after giving birth, the Attendings were asking: "What happened to Jia?"

Today’s good word.
I pray everything I accomplish encourages a young black girl who was told she would never be a physician that she can become ANYTHING she desires

People racialized as Black been talking about structural racism for 50-leven years. Scholars racialized as White discovered it last year and the funding flood gates opened up.

Early years of the HIV pandemic framed HIV/AIDS as a ‘gay man disease.’ Women, and especially Black and brown heterosexual women, suffered from this narrow framing. Even now, the rates of pre exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) use among high risk women are lower than they should be. 1/

Also, non-gays have it and want the vaccine. You just don’t know it bc you aren’t testing or vaccinating them.
