And if your instinct is to defend an accused perpetrator, remember that you can’t possibly be sure. Especially if you’re a man and the accused person targets women: you’re just about the least likely to know about it

@m_spishakthomas Congrats on your race finish! I’d say finishing a marathon on pace was hardest but I didn’t do all 3 at once

@DusetzinaS Befriend staff esp non-research in academic building. Happened naturally for me & I’m so thankful for friends to go to during long office day to talk as whole persons, share juicy stories, escape for ice cream, receive support, & realize smallness of worries re academic progress

I’m pleased to see @VanderbiltU mobilizing a task force including students to research & propose solutions to mitigate effects of the TN abortion ban and to understand effects on the University and state.

I didn’t feel fear that I would end up navigating obtaining an abortion in that setting. I felt the disregard for the circumstances women and people who can become pregnant face. That the TN leg, elected by my community of fellow TN residents, didn’t care about me.

This is exactly what CA colleagues said to me when I was planning to accept a postdoc at Vanderbilt, with other great job options. I went. And they were right. I remember when TN leg passed 6 wk abortion ban & the feeling: This is not my home. I am not welcome to be well here.
