PSA for all #PhD peers especially those in #PublicHealth and related areas.

Similarly #credentialed #peers calling you out for #HarmfulRhetoric #minimizing #Covid to people asking for #help online who don’t know any better—that critique is not harmful rhetoric. It might have #harmed your #feelings or your #ego but it is NOT the same as the actual #harm you are causing by using your credentials to encourage ppl to harm themselves bc you think they have #anxiety and can’t check your #ableism

#sparse #minimizing #lipschitz

Many #Black #Californians #report adjusting their appearance or behavior — even #minimizing questions — all to reduce the chances of #discrimination & #bias in #hospitals , #clinics & #doctors’ offices. Of the #strategies they describe taking, 32% pay special attention to how they dress; 35% modify their speech or behavior to put doctors at ease. And 41% of #Black #patients signal to providers that they are #educated , #knowledgeable & #prepared .

Ah the #minimizing #idiots finally found Mastodon.

Actually, more correctly, I found that the idiots found Mastodon.

Well it was bound to happen. C'est la vie. :)
