Pediatricians, PLEASE ask detailed questions about periods.

No one talks about this stuff so no one knows what’s normal.

You gotta get into details

🩸how many days?
🩸how often are you changing?
🩸 what are you using?
🩸do you regularly have periods multiple times a month

I was just sitting in Kohr Bros working on my laptop while eating 🍦 when a young adult approached me, addressed me by name, and said they *still* talk with their friends about my guest lecture in the Unforgettable Lectures class.

my totally unsolicited end-of-the-semester advice to junior scholars is to keep the nice notes that students write to you in a safe place so you can reference them when things get tough in the future.

I had a wonder time yesterday UVA School of Nursing for the McGehee Lecture. A beautiful campus! Pre-meeting with these amazing scholars! Dominique Tobbell, Kimberly Acquaviva 🏳️‍🌈 (she/her) and Ishan Williams. Thank you!

More pictures coming soon!

Happy last day of classes! I enjoyed spending the morning at our largest #RunWithJim to date, with over 1100 4th-years on a run through Grounds. Many thanks to UVA Clubs for helping organize this special morning – and best of luck to everyone as Final Exercises approach.

I arrived early for a recording session at Nite4Nite - early enough to squeeze in “lunch” at Firefly. 🍦 😊

I love spring! 🌸

I am delighted when people read my work and love when you get my books from libraries even if I get $0

And I am also delighted when you buy my books and don’t read a single word but I get paid anyway

I like all the options honestly, I am not picky!

Happy #LesbianVisibilityWeek to all of us who can be visible and also to lesbians who cannot live openly. We’re all still here loving and thriving
❤️💜🤍🧡🩷

have I got a book for you

This is utter bullshit. Menopause, like puberty, is a natural event and part of the menstrual cycle. Medical concerns related to menopause (and puberty) can be treated.

I’m begging ya’ll to stop asking your students to interview a professor for their class assignments
