I wanna signal boost this - I am looking to recruit a prospective PhD student to join my Stress and Health Equity lab at the University of Delaware in HDFS. My research concerns biopsychosocial mechanisms of health across the life course with an emphasis on stress and coping.

On Thursday, October 2 at 6:30, join Courtney Thorsson as she discusses her book THE SISTERHOOD in a virtual conversation as part of the Schomburg Conversations in Black Freedom Studies. go.shr.lc/3KsLuR9 @courtneythorsson.bsky.social @columbiaup.bsky.social

Criminalization of unhoused people.
Criminalization of disabled people & people w/ unmet mental health needs.
Criminalization of migrants.
Criminalization of youth.
Criminalization of underresourced Black communities

The D.C. occupation shows in real time how criminalization is a vector for fascism

I belong where I'm wanted.

Not where I'm familiar, not where I'm expected to be, not where I've been before. I go where I'm shown my presence is not just desired but treasured.

Year five of the PhD really starts this week LOL.

ICE documents reveal plan to double immigrant detention space this year Internal documents reveal ICE’s plans to double immigrant detention to more than 100,000 beds, including new detention centers for families.

By January, ICE will have the capacity to hold more than 107,000 people, internal agency documents show.

The documents outline the strategy behind ICE’s breakneck expansion.

Currently reading Hylton’s Madness: Race and Insanity in a Jim Crow Asylum. I’m only three chapters in and wow, this text is fascinating. Wicked, but brilliantly thought out and written.

You are not going to out "tough on crime" fascist Republicans. Because they don't actually care about *crime* - they care about racism and power.

Imagine being born in slavery and living up until 5 months before the Civil Rights Act of 1964.

Anna Julia Cooper is one of my favorite people in history. She was born on August 10, 1858, and lived to the age of 105.

I can't sum her up in a single post, but she was born 167yrs ago today

SSSP has been such a great experience thus far ☺️
