Pro tip: if you’re seeking guidance from a professor and reach out to them, and they meet with you and spend 40 minutes answering all your questions, best practice is to thank them for their time. Not doing so is weird and extractive!

Thanks so much! I have fine hair but TONS of it, and I’m often looking to take weight out/let my texture through!

In Swedish, β€œhej” means β€œhi” and is pronounced like English’s β€œhey.” You can also say β€œhej hej” if you’re feeling enthusiastic.

In Danish, β€œhej” means β€œhi” and is pronounced like English’s β€œhi.” It also means β€œgoodbye” if you say β€œhej hej.”

Okay, so, this plastic turf is a proposed gift from the SF Giants? Why do the SF Giants have an interest in using plastics products?

I am grateful to be a part of many communities at this point in my life. I find I spend a lot of energy translating among them, moving ideas & actions from one circle to another & so forth.

Something I think about a lot is not only my family of origin, but my community of origin. It’s so small and tight-knit that it has affected me like a family in many ways.

"Out of all interventions modeled, restricting the primary production of plastic was the most effective way to reduce health impacts, and was substantially more effective than improving waste management and recycling alone."

Writing tip #1: No matter where you are in the writing process, imagine your ideal audience and write for it – small, large, simple, complex: friends, family, community, scholars, activists, children, theatre-goers, the general public. You pick the combination & decide to whom you want to speak.

I will continue the fight for environmental justice in Black communities Nicknamed the father of environmental justice, Robert Bullard argues that researchers in the field have more reason than ever to back up their work with action.

"When people talk about trying to achieve environmental, economic, climate and racial justice, they are referring to marrying all of those data with action, for example, through lawsuits or pressure to change public policies."
