“Awesommme…” says this beleaguered mom, at home with her <5 yo on their 10th day of post-COVID quarantine…
#BetterLateThanNever
Exceptionally bad experience @Walgreens: spouse & I scheduled #COVIDBooster wks ago, were informed today that tmrw’s appt is CANCELED due to insufficient inventory. Staff rude & unwilling to help us reschedule— so we’re at the back of the line now, right b4 holiday travel. WTF!
Hey @MorningEdition — appreciate your reporting on this impressive Indian leader, but could you pls consider gender bias in your headline descriptions? “Feisty” is a word almost exclusively applied to assertive women, and Banerjee’s height is less remarkable than her background.

I would love to start a thread of photos of all of the #medtwitter Doctor Moms who have been vaccinated while pregnant to show that they AND their babies are healthy! Can we do it? The public is asking! 😃👶🥼👩🏻⚕️🤰#GetVaccinatedNow #vaccinatedwhilepregnant #vaccine @ACOGPregnancy

Standing ovation for this insightful piece on raising boys w/ social-emotional fluency. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Grateful for brilliant women writers, raising kids, who explore gender/ feminism/ meaning thru that lens (eg @ruthwhippman @JessicaValenti @noraborealis) Y’all are shifting paradigms.
My latest piece for @nytopinion on boys, books and why boys aren’t learning the ‘dark arts of emotional labor”
😳😬🤦🏼
WATCH: South Carolina Sen. Tim Scott has used the Republican response to President Joe Biden’s address to Congress to vow that “America is not a racist country.”

Excellent, timely reporting from @NYTimes re: frequency of fatal shootings by police. Over the course of the Derek Chauvin trial for the killing of George Floyd, law enforcement officers have killed an additional *64* people nationwide, over half BIPOC. nytimes.com/2021/04/17/us/po…
Watching @PBSKIDS #DinosaurTrain w/my kids & am pretty sure that a featured character in this episode (“Dennis”) is on the autism spectrum. Yes, he’s a dinosaur— but it’s a nuanced, sympathetic portrayal that young kids will hopefully relate to. KUDOS!

In lab tests with dummies, exposure to potentially infectious aerosols decreased by about 95% when they both wore tightly fitted masks, a new CDC MMWR finds. #WearAMask that fits tightly to your face to stop the spread of #COVID19. More: bit.ly/MMWR21021

It’s easy to speak up when everyone is doing it. Much harder to be the first. On this Super Bowl Sunday, salute to you @Kaepernick7 for your leadership, courage, and sacrifice.
When a white person tries to tell you, “Being white doesn’t automatically make me racist...”
Remember that we’re conditioned not to notice racism, while also perpetuating it.

The Sun Prairie School District still isn’t answering questions about where a lesson that asked students to punish slaves came from and why it was taught.

PODCAST RECOMMENDATION! **Floodlines**
an intimate retrospective focused on decision-making during #HurricaneKatrina / a case study on power, inequity, and systemic racism. @newkirkv’s superb interview w/Mike Brown in the last episode is a striking indictment of white privilege.
The people who lived through Hurricane Katrina and its aftermath have a story to tell—a story of rumors, betrayal, and one of the most misunderstood events in American history. Introducing: Floodlines, a new podcast from The Atlantic. on.theatln.tc/uAonbnZ
Amen. Voter enfranchisement is the hero of this year.
How did the Trump Administration honor the history and spirit of this #MLKDay ? By releasing a sloppy, clichéd, C-team thought piece on how “America’s principles” have been challenged by progressive ideals... like equality. I can’t even.
The White House's taxpayer-funded 1776 Report, produced by "some of America’s most distinguished scholars and historians," identifies "challenges to America's principles" that include: slavery, fascism, communism, "identity politics" and progressivism. whitehouse.gov/wp-content/up…
