Se hai la (s)fortuna di nascere con una vagina ti viene insegnato da subito che il mondo per te può essere più pericoloso. Quando sviluppi inizi a notare gli sguardi degli uomini che si soffermano su un seno florido o su un culo a mandolino, da qui inizi a cambiare.
Cambi modo di vestire "forse la minigonna o gli shorts meglio di no perché poi mi sento nuda e attiro sguardi, meglio mettere il reggiseno così non si vedono i capezzoli, le scollature meglio evitarle altrimenti non mi guardano negli occhi".
E comunque tutto questo non basta perché non importa se sei carina o meno, o se sei in tuta, ci sarà sempre lo stronzo che ti suonerà il clacson dalla macchina guardandoti con la faccia arrapata, ci sarà sempre il demente che ti urlerà "a fataaaa" mentre attraversi sulle strisce.
While all attention is on #COVID19 our National School of Tropical Medicine @BCM_TropMed (work led by @Rojelio) found widespread toxocariasis in low-income areas of #NYC, led by the #Bronx.

A reason this is significant: Earlier in @JAMAPsych (my first paper in a psychiatric journal) I highlighted the role of toxocariasis for its role in developmental delays among socioeconomically disadvantaged kids (based on work from @sunydownstate)

#Covid19 is the conduit to the #4IR now in full motion. As people come to terms w/ what is being forced upon humanity, we will soon regret that we did not unite to oppose to draconian lockdowns/expanding surveillance that will serve to protect/insulate ruling classes from revolt.
#UBI (universal basic income) is a tool designed by the rich to stave off #Molotov cocktails - while at the same time enriching themselves even further. The ruling class knows full well what they are unleashing - but the citizenry does not.

Deaths are a lagging indicator, colleagues at @MontefioreNYC are seeing fewer new cases presenting, so hopefully the curve will decelerate in the #Bronx.
Now one in 1,154 in the borough has died from #COVID19.

And we're back in @SDNYLIVE Magistrates Court, where defendant Mr Mercado has now CJA Sabrina Shroff. He's asking to be bailed on charge of giving Gonzalez a (bb) gun to shoot at the owner of a parking lot at 2443 Poplar Ave in The #Bronx on June 20, 2018. Thread
Shroff asks why it took so long to arrest him, says the supposed witness is a cooperator. AUSA Gentile says he's been arrested 29 times, is an inveterate druggie.
Shroff: Inveterate?
Judge Freeman: (reading from laptop) Long established and unlikely to change.
Shroff: Inveterate?
Judge Freeman: (reading from laptop) Long established and unlikely to change.
Judge Freeman orders detention. No confidence he has another place to stay. Defendant is raising his hand. "I wanna speak to you, your Honor."

Judge Rakoff notes letter from Sean Stewart's ex-wife's letter - and that she got two orders of protection against him. She is in the courtroom.
Lawyer says Sean and son close at baseball game in Queens, not the #Bronx.
Judge Rakoff: Close even with inferior team.

Next case: Cruz was arrested with 200 glassines of heroin, he's being charged with gun and shooting. He's requesting release
Federal Defender says Cruz is a barber who defended his wife. Judge Cott calls recess; Pre-Trial Sevices into robing room
And we're back: #6ix9ine trial continues with #NYPD "Criminalist 3" on the stand @SDNYLIVE. Earlier today, Kristian Cruz disputed it was his Instagram account communicating with Nuke Mack. patreon.com/posts/30134494 Thread
@sdnylive @MatthewLeeICP @revolttv @XXL @Power106LA The NYPD lab tech is testifying about scales and grinders and confirming the presence of #fentanyl (yesterday we posted the photos of DHL envelope from Shenzhen, China to Kristian Cruz, the sometimes "IGotRich_" on Instagram)
@sdnylive @MatthewLeeICP @revolttv @XXL @Power106LA Judge Engelmayer getting more and more frustrated. Tells NYPD tech, You're not here to read this document, just to say if it jogs you memory. Then to the lawyers: we're going off the rails here. It's not worth anyone times to explore this through this witness
Now in #SDNY Magistrates Court, shackled defendant waits for Judge Wang - amid loud fire drill alarm. Story later @SDNYLIVE
Now at 7 pm final #SDNY case of the day: US v Perkins about to begin. Seems there will be a bail fight. @SDNYLIVE Threadette
