A piece of what burns me about this messaging is the implication that our experts in public health think that @UMNews’s decision to abandon the classroom mask policy aligns with promoting public health. (Gentle reader, they do not.)

Y'all be getting trained by scholars racialized as White at historically White serving universities learning Eurocentric epistemologies. But y'all are "objective" scholars. Ok then!

I REALLY need a postdoc. I’m drowning in data and study ideas that I can’t pursue. I have full funding for 3 post docs. Research areas: tobacco cessation, health equity, and implementation science in Minneapolis. hhri.applicantpro.com/jobs/2… @hhrinstitute

Whenever I read or hear the word "pristine" used in the environmental discourse, I wonder: Which Indigenous community stewarded this environment, landscape, etc? It is important to make this question so that we stop ignoring Indigenous stewardship & acknowledge Indigenous ppl.

AMBER ALERT: Minneapolis Police say a 2008 White Buick Enclave with HTH234 plates was stolen near Bloomington and Lake this afternoon. A one year old child named Rayray was in the vehicle. He has black hair and is wearing a grey t-shirt, black pants, and white shoes. @WCCO
I deeply appreciated this thread about Witcher + science
In season 1 of The Witcher, we could consider Geralt of Riva as a pest control officer, doing some pretty intense Human Wildife Conflict work.
In season 2, the similarities between Geralt and wildlife biologists became quite pronounced.

So let's talk about Charter Amendments in Minneapolis in the past and whether voters were "able to understand the essential purpose of the proposed amendment."

Climate change is a euphemism for histories and present conditions of enslavement, colonialism, extractionism, ecocide, and urbicide. To end the so-called anthropocene we must transform these conditions, create an unprecedented path, & depart with the false hope of tech solutions
