In Delaware, as many as 25% of adolescents may identify as LGBTQ+. In the 2022-24 DE School Survey, mental health symptoms and underage substance use levels were alamring for all youth, and all outcomes were worse for LGBTQ+ youth.

I’m not on the asexuality spectrum. But as a queer, feminist researcher, I think we should all care about asexuality.

Why? Because asexual perspectives can help us better understand sexuality—and gender, race, disability, family, love, etc.

Here’s why:

These and so so many other grants terminated. So much knowledge blocked. Many jobs eliminated instantly. I’m angry and sad. Sending love and solidarity to colleagues and strangers across the country grappling with nonsense actions of this regime.

I know not everyone can keep up with all the grant terminations, but it’s important to know what we’re losing so I’ll try to compile them here.

First is a study on intimate partner violence with perinatal women (note: the #1 cause of death during pregnancy is homicide)

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.

More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.

I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

1. Greg Abbott will direct the state of Texas to consider whether teachers who affirm transgender kids are actually engaging in "child abuse."

He's already attempted to go after parents of trans kids with charges of child abuse before.

The latest from S. Baum.

Any recommendations for best resources, books, videos for helping students learn to write their first research proposal?

I've been able to brush off most of the erasure of trans people from government websites, but this one is REALLY getting under my skin. It's just complete revisionist history.

How fucking dare they

A year later... 1500."
Before the 1960s, almost everything about living openly as a lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, or queer (LGBTQ+) person was illegal. The Stonewall Uprising on June 28, 1969 is a milestone in the quest for LGBTQ+ civil rights and provided momentum for a movement. Stonewall

Executive wants to frame the NIH indirects cut as $4B in savings.

But given that NIH returns $2.5 on every $1 investment, this would actually cost US economy a net $6 BILLION (per year!). Not to mention the human costs of wrecking education and research sectors and the communities they serve.
Direct Economic Contributions
NIH directly supports the economy through investments in research institutions and job formation.

Today in a college Zoom meeting attended by 95 of my colleagues, my cat jumped onto my laptop and unmuted me, then jumped onto a small collection of potted plants, shattering them, and I groaned/yelped while OFF MUTE.

So let’s add that to my list of current work stressors.

Hi Jess! Happy to find another way to reconnect:)

Sitting heavy with this today.😔

Thought I had replied earlier! Thanks for sharing this, I've sent it to my students to invite them to read with me. Would be happy to conect more in the future. Reach out any time!

Sorry for the delay in responding, but yes I added you! Glad to be connected.

Two stages of writing:

1) This shouldn't take too long
2) Oh no

I consider what can be saved for questions (details on specific measures, secondary theory driving the study, non-significant results). I attempt to visualize all results so they can be communicated much faster than text or tables. No more than 3 bullets per slide.

Done! So happy to be finding all the queer academic folks like you from Twitter again❤️

Done! Your work sounds so interesting—would love to learn more.
