“The [qualitative] study is limited by its small sample size (n=18) … This restricts the generalizability of findings.”
(1) If you’re asked to review qualitative research and have this take: don’t.
(2) If you’re a journal editor and come across said review: find another one.
If you enjoy the informative threads from @dieworkwear you will also enjoy a long form version: the remarkable @sexandstatus’s new book coming soon from @OxUniPress.
All of the information and history, some of the take-downs, none of the reply guys!

Asked Jaylen Brown if he feels like going to the White House is a political decision:
“Everything is a political decision, if you ask me. But, personally what I would say, is I would go to Waffle House with my guys.”

Before my current career, I was a rape crisis counselor and a victim-witness advocate, both on a professional and volunteer basis, for nearly a decade. I met hundreds of women who experienced a sexual assault. Only ONE was assaulted in a public restroom, and….
Convo with my kid last week went like this:
Kid: Wait, which uncle Steve are you visiting?
Me: Not the dead one.

Every few months, some ER doctor goes viral for saying you need to take it very seriously when a male patient says his wife made him come in, and I'm infuriated that women are considered reliable ONLY when they're saying a man needs care, but not when she needs care herself. 🙃

Without abortion, pregnancy is too dangerous to attempt. Building a family safely requires abortion. The reason pregnancy doesn’t kill more people is because OB/Gyns are good at their jobs. And abortion is part of the job.
I mean, yes, it's possible. Not for the @Yankees, but for someone.

As a Massachusetts native, I really want @NWSLBoston to succeed. I also want to shout out @PWHL_Boston, @BeantownRFC, and @GoRenegades as existing women's pro sports teams here to support!
This is ideal @mckinneykelsey

He called Professor Coates, one of the most celebrated & accomplished thinkers of our time, an "extremist," because his book dares to center Palestinian humanity. A masterclass reply from Coates.
Also, wild that CBS challenges him more than they will Vance during the VP Debate.
Ta-Nehisi Coates’ new book, “The Message,” is a trio of interconnected essays that examine how the stories people tell — or avoid telling — can shape and even distort reality: “I am most concerned always with those that don’t have a voice.” cbsn.ws/4gJxe2g
How he stays so clear throughout is just amazing. But this is the deal, right here. Either you think it's right or you think it's wrong.

Many social science disciplines over-invested in quantitative methods at the expense of accurately and adequately historicizing, conceptualizing, and theorizing racism.
This is why you think that race is a demographic and control variable in quant methods.
This video just conjured a #2 pencil and a copy of the Last of the Mohicans with Daniel Day-Lewis on the cover out of thin air. JD better watch out.
