RE: Staffing/Fair wages:
I've talked about how this system reflects the trifecta of racism/sexism/ageism: https://t.co/hcjb0fB5xr
*We have a majority older, female resident population cared for my a majority racialized, female workforce.
20 years ago (pre-Harris privatization), nursing homes were staffed primarily by NURSES (hence the name, NURSING HOMES).
Privatization kicks in....and these FP owners need to cut costs to increase their profits. How? STAFFING, TO START.
What unfolded over the last 20 years as Privatization increased was the reversal of the staffing mix from majority nurses to majority PSWs (who are an unregulated workforce comprised primarily of racialized women who are often new to Canada).
This strategy is NOT NEW (its how the 2nd phase of predatory capitalism took hold) by expanding quite literally on the backs of women, often from the Global South whose labour is assumed to be both cheap and disposable (I studied this in my PhD).
And indeed, @Revera_Inc in their recent report defending their COVID performance expressed these same calls for an increased use of a gendered & racialized workforce....seeking to have @fordnation adjust immigration policies as a result
4/8.

Most troubling is this tidbit from the "Perfect Storm" report where you all recommend the use of gendered & racialized immigrant workforces instead of providing domestic workers fair wages and livable working conditions.https://t.co/yRqCvMWwHb pic.twitter.com/ZCDPRkTEoz

Oh it happened more than once...
At the State Capitol in Sacramento, a lone Trump supporter wearing a red MAGA hat protested as President Biden took the oath of office Wednesday.

Another thread so soon? This one's going to be about a classic argument, sex determination. There are five methods of sex determination and I'm going to go into depth on my arguments on why I state that sex is able to be determined in all cases. #intersex

To start with the the way the five factors work is that together they add up to one of the two results, I think this is a safe estimate given the casing of Hayley Haynes.. which can be backed up by a few other findings where uterine tissue was discovered:
There was an official statement made that determined the current ongoing issues with uterus transplants being an issue in AIS women having nothing to do with their Y chromosome which currently people use chromosomes to argue genotype, or
Let's start then, with the first and most simple of factors. Karyotype.
In those born with CAIS they are born with a 46 XY karyotype with a SRY gene on the Y chromosome. However there is a mutation in the primary X chromosome that leads to not being able to process androgens.
This in turn leads to testicular feminization caused by a mutation in the X chromosome that leads to the body resisting, or not being effected by androgens produced in the body. We'll go more into that later.
Karyotype: Male Typical 46 XY[SRY]
Today, I want to talk what it's like when I see, sense & feel that a more senior Black woman is attempting to sabatoge me and assassinate my character. A💔 🧵
It all started here. I joined @PublicHealth in 2018 and was elected chair in 2019. As can be seen, I was SO excited that the members of this section believed in my leadership enough to elect me to this
So, apparently I'm Chair-Elect of the Epidemiology Section of APHA! I'm speechless right now! Thank y'all so much!! pic.twitter.com/SiEHj2OTva

Since I cross paths with very few other Black women epidemiologists in these academic streets, I was looking forward to working with the Black women leaders in this section.
1st mtg as chair-elect of the Epidemiology section of APHA and I'm *stunned* that I was elected b/c I just joined APHA last yr. & people usually work their way up the ranks for 10+ years before taking this role. And our section has 3k people. I'm HONORED!\u2764 pic.twitter.com/GvXtfaXaHv

I started observing that the communication to me was minimal, there was little documentation on processes & procedures, and I was (and felt like) an outsider here. I also felt bad vibes, and tried to set up a mtg to check in on communication & leadership styles. It never happened
Then, our annual meeting happened, & I had been struggling with what I experienced as condescending communication and unwelcoming culture. I was like this can't be right, let me contact @PublicHealth staff for some support.
2/10 Recovery: The RTPI's #PlantheWorldWeNeed campaign demonstrates how planning will play a key role in supporting @theCCCuk recommendations, ensuring a sustainable, inclusive and green recovery from the pandemic https://t.co/b7NX25m30j
3/10 Investment: @theCCCuk recommends additional investment of £50bn annually. The RTPI proposes Green Growth Boards to guide investment needed for zero carbon at a strategic scale https://t.co/9GLui8Ll0q
4/10 Transport: @theCCCuk recommends switch to electric vehicles by 2030. Planning will be key in rolling out charging infrastructure but first we must reduce travel demand and increase sustainable travel. Look out for RTPI paper in January on planning for zero carbon transport
5/10 Energy: @theCCCuk recommends #netzero electricity by 2035. Planning is key to guide development of low carbon infrastructure. Technological solutions must be coupled with ambitious measures to reduce energy demand @UWEBristol @TLPblog @Regen_insight
