Feeling this more than ever today! Thanks for posting!

A group of people is seated in the audience in ASC room 500, with long wooden tables arranged in rows. Each person has a plate of food and a bottle of water or soda in front of them. The room has white walls, large windows on the right side, and a projector mounted on the ceiling at the front. Professor Sarah Jackson is holding a microphone and asking a question while audience members look at her.

Professor Moya Bailey stands at the lectern in ASC room 500, speaking into a microphone. She is wearing a red and white geometric patterned outfit. Behind hwe, a large screen displays the Annenberg School logo and partially visible text. To the right of the screen, a banner reads 'Center for Media at Risk.'

Yesterday, our visiting scholar @moyazb.bsky.social shared her phenomenal new short film 'You Just Watch & See' about the inspiring life of her cousin Dollie. Look out for 'You Just Watch & See' on this year's film festival circuit! @asc.upenn.edu

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes.

You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment.

My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc.

Not me and K. Dot having the same big three.

Humans made up everything in society, each & every bit. That means we can unmake it too.

We don't have to move as if having the most 1s and 0s in your bank account qualifies you to make impulsive uninformed decisions that effect the whole world.

Capitalism is a choice and we can choose again.

My fav spot is Apolonia. They can do the tasting menu to go. It's worth it!

This is why I am making the documentary misogynoirinmedicine.com

The cruelty is so specific.

“She was evicted from her home of 23 years in February and died in May, while homeless, just days short of her 71st birthday."

There was a time in this country when evictions were so rare they sparked riots. Now people are forced out of their homes every single day, and we barely bat an eye.

Please do!
