Hi Bluesky! My name is Gabrielle A. Perry, MPH.

I am an epidemiologist specializing in infectious diseases, a feminist writer (soon to be author), and founder of The Thurman Perry Foundation.

I eat, sleep, & breathe helping women and girls. And I talk all things books, feminism, & incarceration!
My entire life would be different if this had happened in 2017. I would never have been able to become an epidemiologist. Nor would my classmates and colleagues and friends who fought the COVID-19 pandemic.

This ungrateful evil country is on its last leg.
The Donald Trump administration has excluded nursing, physical therapy, and public health as “professional” degrees under new federal student-loan rules.

Loans for these fields will be limited to $20,500 a year, compared to “professional” degrees, where the limit is $50,000 a year.

I went to undergrad with a girl who told us that her mama had 2 PhDs because she kept going to school so she could just defer paying her student loans as long as possible cause she had so much debt from undergrad and such.
I went to law school because of the 08 recession. Desperate times, desperate measures. Massive debt now, but at least 2010-2013 were cool. Wouldn’t do it again.

Trading my mama a smoked ham shank for a lb of smoked pork neck bones is part of why I love being from the country lol

NOBODY talks about how alot of people survived 08 by doing so.
They're evergreen. They survive everything.

Also, with the dismantling of the DoE, ppl won't even be able to dodge the recession by going back to school.

I dont even know what to say about this cause my 401K is already invested in fucking Blackrock and every war machine you can imagine through my job. I found out a couple months back. Everybody’s 401Ks are in crazy shit
And it's all invested in maybe the biggest bubble ever. AI is going to crash everyone's 401k & ETF funds. They make up a third of our economy & simply can't be profitable.

To me the truth is this:

The pauses on rent and student loan payments as well as stimulus checks and Child Tax Credits leading to an (on average) 150 pt increase in credit scores artificially inflated people’s perception of their COL & personal wealth.

Blood is on your hands legitimizing this absolute lunatic.

The best scientific minds in this country are BEGGING media and politicians to stop this catastrophe.
Over many interviews, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. told Michael Scherer about how he plans to remake America’s public-health system. Can he lead the scientific establishment he’s spent much of his life crusading against?

This thread is right. The point of DOGE was not what they *said* it was, but what they *did*. Steal all of our data. Destroy USAID. Profoundly destabilize civil service. Gain a competitive information advantage over both business and political rivals.
Don’t do this, you guys. The enormous pile of dead bodies, and small but still massive of dead careers, would point to the opposite being true: DOGE was a massive financial and political boon to Elon Musk and it paid off marvelously for him at horrendous cost.
DOGE is one of the greatest failures of the Trump administration. The next Democratic administration should pick up that issue and actually work to cut government waste, fraud, and abuse. I’d suggest starting by taking a look at Elon Musk’s government contracts.

By the way, they invest your pensions and such into these bundled up trash debt consolidations.

In times of economic prosperity when people CAN afford their payments on car notes and mortgages, the scam is fine and we truck along as a nation.

When people cant afford the payments?

2008 happens
Our entire economy runs on illusions where debt can be bundled up and sold as assets to others which removes responsibility and financial burden on the banks

You see it with the auto loan industry who sell NINJA loans to people who cant afford it & then bundle up the bad debt as collateral to sell.

Cynthia Erivo is such a case study in self hate.

You torpedoed support from the Black American community after denigrating and deriding our culture and now FF to the biggest moment of your career & the same folks you bootlicking for calling you a weirdo and body shaming you. Pathetic.

Last night my boyfriend and I were at the store and right before us in line (and only I noticed it) was this very petite, middle aged white lady with two sons no more than 10. She was swiping the last money on her EBT card & then pulled out 6-7 debit/credit cards to pay & they all kept declining.

As of the 2nd quarter of 2025, the average monthly car payment is $749 for new cars and $529 for used according to data from Experian.

7 year loan periods are also now more common than 5 year auto loans.

Bluesky uses AI bots to scan posts
How can one possibly get suspended on this app? Seems difficult
November 24, 2025 at 4:09 PM
It was. They suspended me the week my boyfriend is here so Ive just been sending my random thoughts to Twitter between having the time of my life with him. Im not thinking about this app lmao
I was wondering where you were, hoping it was a fun reason. Smh.

Folks need to remember 👇👇 THIS.
Just a reminder that Jamal Khashoggi was murdered because he was investigating (amongst other things) the fact that Jared Kushner allegedly was selling intelligence secrets to the Saudi Arabian government including the location of people disloyal to the Crown Prince

Which is HIGH TREASON
I think the President of the US responding to a question about the murder of a journalist with "A lot of people didn't like that gentleman" is probably pretty bad.

If Jamal Khashoggi were still alive we would know the answer to this question but Trump's CIA puts the blame on Saudi Arabia....but I don't trust Trump's CIA...do you 🧐

I’m getting so excited about my book coming out and the process with the publisher coming to a close soon before it goes to publication. I’m so proud of it. 110,000 words. And I meant every single one of them.

I cannot WAIT for yall to read it.
