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!

They were mad because Karlous was right.
Homelessness shouldn't be our problem; it should be the government's and they could fix it but they choose not to.

Imagine your employer paying you so little that you need a loan against the next earnings check in order to feed your kids.
Then imagine that your employer sees a financial opportunity and offers you a 20% interest payday loan.
Doesn't seem right, does it...

There is nothing more dangerous than these “earned wage access” services that make you pay to get access to your paycheck a week or 2 early. Companies like Walmart are even calling this part of employee benefits.
That is a payday loan. And now so integrated it cannot be regulated

As someone who was born/raised/lives in TX, Oklahoma is actually what the rest of the country visualizes when they think about TX as backwoods/irredeemable.
IMO, the most surprising thing about the OU essay is not that the instructor is being unfairly targeted; it's that OU had any trans faculty.

George Carlin’s “It’s a biiiig club, and you ain’t in it” line is looking more prescient by the day
New: Hillary Clinton will be speaking at an event hosted by Israel Hayom (Israel's most read newspaper, run by Israeli-American billionaire & Trump megadonor Miriam Adelson).
She'll join John Fetterman, Eric Adams, Trump UN Ambassador Mike Waltz, Biden official Amos Hochstein, and Israeli officials

I’m paying a criminal justice graduate student $1000 to fact check my book before it goes to print AND before it goes to the legal department at Hachette Publishing. I listed all my sources with footnotes in the book and full MLA citations at the back of the book.
So basically Im ready to argue 😂

That truth is why I have to get rid of my student loans NOW while Im young and why I work so hard to stay healthy.
From the time banks were given the green light to issue student loans that could bever be written off in bankruptcy.
It's been a trap for all of America. Only a few escape it.
If you have an accident or get sick, go bankrupt over the medical debt, student loans still await you on the other side.

This is honestly me too. My boyfriend’s love for cooking makes me wanna cook too. It just happens to be something I am excellent at and I love seeing people respond to it. But the CHORE OF IT aggravates my ADD because good cooking requires alot of timing and focus and mental energy
I wish I could feel that way.. for me, it feels like pure survival. Having all of the ingredients for something good harder and harder to achieve. Only eating once a day because I just don't have the mental energy to do more.

He LOVED the crawfish étouffée I made and the collard greens with smoked neck bones and the mac and cheese. I’m grateful to be a good cook. I think cooking, especially for other people, is a very holy experience. A godly task of nurturing others with your hands. It’s reverential.

Im so happy everyone loved Thanksgiving. My poor boyfriend, who cooks for me every single day and night when he’s here, offered to cook Thanksgiving and I had to explain to him gently that my 75 y/o Creole mother was NOT going to eat Mexican food for Thanksgiving. She’s just NOT 😂

It is NOT a survival hatch for everybody. Some people are just stupid
These programs are so harmful! They don’t help your credit because they operate in a “gray” area in the finance industry. They hand this out to anyone and you can quickly get yourself in a debt cycle with little friction. I get this is a survival hatch for too many people. This is a payday lender.

And earned wage access or “access your paycheck early” is USURY. They are even accepting TIPS on their apps. They have 20 million people on that Earn In app!
