Sadly, we still default to granting more respect to men than women.
8 studies: we're >2x as likely to call male politicians, athletes, teachers, and authors by their last names. It matters: surnames signal higher status.
It's long past time to use consistent standards.

ALT A yellow portrait poster is shown with the word "Attention" at the top in red. Below, written in black, it says "Card Access Only Monday-Thursday 8:00 PM-10:00 PM." Below, in smaller font, it says "Please call the front desk for assistance (804) 828-0636."

“Model how disagreement happens and break it down. Anything and everything should be debatable for the sake of understanding. Anything can be a teachable moment and should be.” @AmnaUncensored @AAMCtoday @mroth78 #AAMC23

“If you don’t really love the people, then justice is just your career move and not your life.” “Civil discourse is so deodorized….but the funk is where the love is!” I could listen to this all day! #aamc2022 @UR_Med

Vulnerability: “if you are a genuine truth seeker, it’s like getting on a train without knowing the destination, or more importantly, not knowing who you are going to be when you get off” #AAMC2022 – at Nashville, TN
Interstate Cab Co. drivers at #DFW would rather play on their phone than accept an airline voucher to a nearby hotel. #taxiservices #fail.

This is an important perspective on the Westfall Act. But it's also much more than that, in the way @tribelaw speaks on the relationship between access to justice and the health of a democracy (indulge me in a super short thread where I relate this back to public defense)
Here I explain why it’s vital for access to justice, the rule of law, and democracy’s very survival that Merrick Garland not compound his misstep in backing Donald Trump against E. Jean Carroll by now backing Mo Brooks against Eric Swalwell @GlobeOpinion

Melissa, the agent, was very helpful, but @AmericanAir you should do something about your discordant hooks music.
That sure isn't our goal. We appreciate you hanging in there with us. Our agent will be with you as soon as they can.

After an hour+ on hold after waiting 3.5 hours for a callback, I wonder if @AmericanAir tries to annoy their customers with music that sounds like a badly used cassette tape to drive the customer to give up. #fail
