I am looking for postdoctoral positions that would allow me to continue researching LGBTQ+ health and wellness. I specifically study how trans folks flourish and care for themselves in the face of sociopolitical constraint. My PhD is in Psych and WGS. Any leads would be greatly appreciated! 🌈🎓

That was hands down the best halftime show ever. It was filled with so many references to Puerto Rican culture and history. The sugarcane fields, the casita, the streets of NYC, and the power lines. All of it resonated so much. Boricua por siempre.

Haven't seen this circulating as much here as I've seen over on Twitter and Threads, but just an FYI that the "girls FTW" email is FAKE. It's not in the files. There's no time or date stamp. Someone just made it as a (really dumb and harmful) joke. leadstories.com/hoax-alert/2...

Remember when left-wing "authoritarians" were "lynching" conservatives on campus? I hope everyone who wrote articles about that is feeling great. But they might want to reflect on the way the metaphorical language of violence allows us to treat actual violence as a reaction to figurative violence.
