Definitely a #phdjourney highlight for me to give @browncaas.bsky.social rounds yesterday! I presented 3 of my xylazine focused studies, two of which informed my dissertation work, and one that is included in my dissertation. Sort of felt like a dress rehearsal for my eventual defense!

Frustrated and angered by the rise in headlines like “They voted for Trump, now [predictable harmful action Trump promised] is happening, and they regret it.”
Apple News push alert for an Advocate article titled “he voted for trump. Now he’s worried his trans son will lose gender-affirming care”

What breaks my heart about the attacks on the educational infrastructure for our youth - and in particular our youth with disabilities - is that a nation that does not ensure its children receive quality education is destined for dark days for generations

The continued obsession with ivermectin largely from conservatives is concerning but also fascinating. Of all things to remain unwaveringly committed to related to health, it’s this? A case study in how disinformation can really take hold and distort perception and beliefs.

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other
The Stonewall Inn and The Stonewall Inn Gives Back Initiative are outraged and appalled by the recent removal of the word 'transgender' from the Stonewall National Monument page on the National Park Service website. This blatant act of erasure not only distorts the truth of our history, but it also dishonors the immense contributions of transgender individuals - especially transgender women of color - who were at the forefront of the Stonewall Riots and the broader fight for LGBTQ+ rights.

I wish more journals distributed manuscripts for review with page and line numbers. It’s the least that could be done to ease the reviewer burden. And as an author, it’s so useful when the reviewer’s comments are linked to a specific section of my manuscript. Why isn’t this standard practice? 🤔

A meteor shower
What's happening in the sky above Stonehenge? A meteor shower: specifically, the Perseid meteor shower. A few nights ago, after the sky darkened, many images of meteors from this year's Perseids were captured separately and merged into a single frame. Although the meteors all traveled on straight paths, these paths appear slightly curved by the wide-angle lens of the capturing camera. The meteor streaks can all be traced back to a single point on the sky called the radiant, here just off the top of the frame in the constellation of Perseus. The same camera took a deep image of the background sky that brought up the central band of our Milky Way galaxy running nearly vertical through the image center. The featured image was taken from Wiltshire, England, being careful to include, at the bottom, the famous astronomical monument of Stonehenge. Although the Perseids peaked last night, some Perseid meteors should still be visible for a few more nights.
