#TLDR; Black and/or LatinΓ© youth with #ADHD experience high levels of #trauma, we as a field just haven't been asking the right questions. Different types of trauma (e.g., #discrimination, #PTSD) affect cognitive disengagement syndrome (CDS) differently. For more, read it:

Thanks to everyone who engaged w/ us at APSARD!

There’s much more we can do to include people with #ADHD who are Black, LatinΓ©, girls, nonbinary, & many more ppl that are excluded.

We found higher #discrimiantion meant kids were less likely to have IEP/504s.

This must stop.

Yes, and a five year old is one of those immune compromised people. It takes a minute for kids to be able to fight off disease. It’s why we vaccinate them. It’s also why we are hearing a lot more about children dying from the flu. πŸ™ƒ

one of the great, pernicious myths perpetrated about higher edβ€”which media, higher ed administrators, politicians, and a number of faculty are complicit in spreadingβ€”is that humanities departments close due to some combination of cratering student demand and unjustifiable cost. It’s not true

Today I remembered that there is a resource that is just a list of almost one hundred humanities PhDs who have transitioned to other careers and are available to talk about it.

You can schedule an informational interview or invite them to talk to your department!

Buy audiobooks & support local bookstores Libro.fm makes it possible for you to buy audiobooks directly through local bookstores.

Hoopla, Boundless, and Palace Project are free through the library. Libro.fm is a good paid option.

How The Pandemic Exposed "A Viral Underclass" "Viruses show that we're very connected, but the way we experience them can be quite different."

@leximcmenamin.com did one of my favorite interviews for The Viral Underclass.

What’s literary NY with almost no outlets for writers to work at?! We can’t all work at Hellgate www.google.com/url?q=https:...

This is, pardon my language, FUCKING BULLSHIT! @leximcmenamin.com is a top tier journalist who had a great interview with Mamdani THIS WEEKEND!!! The kind the NYT could never do. It’s bullshit of Anna Wintour to destroy the TV politics desk on the eve of a mayoralty they were born to cover

Any mutual aids for people struggling to eat here? Found on twitter but haven’t found any here yet. Send if you can & I’ll donate/uplift! πŸ’• hate that we have to do this & mutual aid & donating money to food pantries (they can stretch $ further that we can for food) is what we who can, can do

As SNAP benefits are cut off, Chicagoans line up at food pantries: β€˜I’m surviving. I’m not living’ Anxiety and distrust remained high despite rulings Friday that the government must fund the food assistance program. President Trump said he would fund SNAP but wanted more direction from the court, w...

Meanwhile, in Chicago, hundreds waited in line at food pantries after SNAP benefits were halted.

"I work a full-time job," said 26-year-old Jazmine Blair. "But I still can't afford basic stuff and it's kind of sad. I'm surviving. I'm not living."

In the Bronx, Louisville, and small towns across Connecticut, it's much the same.

Zohran Mamdani's Establishment-Fighting Campaign Built Community for Young People β€œWhat Mamdani has done is not only inspire and mobilize young people, but he has exposed the establishment and some of their calcified views of participation and inclusion.”

dissatisfied by the New York Times coverage of Zohran Mamdani?

great news! I talked to the guy Thursday about his campaign’s success at bringing community together beyond this election, and contextualized how it’s potentially shifted youth engagement with politics by simply listening @teenvogue.com

Yes, Republicans *want* to starve people, but how many people are aware of that? Just like they’ve used the shutdown as an opportunity to consolidate power in the executive, they’re also using it as a way to kill programs that they can’t vote out.
