not me trying to start a new gyno relationship with my past history (and talks about intense options), and her replying “we don’t just throw away uteruses willy nilly bc your cramps hurt.” next time I’ll take my chances on the months long waitlist to see a Black woman 😭🤞🏽

Hey @Stanford, me again. You okay? Us postdocs are getting worried you can’t do basic math. Also, requiring guarantors for housing shames those who come from poor fams. No one in my fam would ever have been able to meet these requirements & I’m not alone. stanforddaily.com/2023/04/23…

kinda wild that someone who has been blatantly racist (yes, to me) is allowed to observe @WULeague games. especially LA Astra games. especially after alerting multiple folks in positions of power. somehow not surprised.
