👀 Ooh...
My new article on emotional injustice in healthcare is out in Bioethics. I look at how emotion policing shapes the experiences of chronic pain patients and reinforces inequities in medical settings.

This looks like the Vladimir Guerrero Jr. we saw in the Minor Leagues, back in 2017-’19, when he was overwhelming pitchers.
