'A new study finds that microaggressions aimed at Black women online appear to harm the health of other Black women who see those microaggressions – even though the microaggressions are not aimed at them personally. Specifically, researchers found that encountering vicarious microaggressions was associated with worse sleep quality for young Black women.'

5+1 Antisemitic Microaggressions:

A thing triggered me the other day. It was a little thing. Just a word someone used. Not a slur, not an attack. Just a word. When I calmed down and started thinking about why something so 'small' had hit me so hard, I realized that it was a microaggression -- and I have never heard anyone talking about microaggressions against Jews.

Here is your periodic reminder that if you're responsible for scheduling things, you need to attention to the Jewish holidays.
This might help: https://jewish-holidays.kamens.us/
This reminder brought to you courtesy of the coworker who, despite the fact that there is only one fall Jewish holiday this year on a weekday, *YOM KIPPUR*, managed to schedule a meeting on that day that could have been scheduled differently, because he was "not aware."
Don't be that guy.

@joshsusser @actuallyautistic OMG yea. This thread should be read in it’s entirety.

It’s difficult for a lot of people to recognize how the less extreme #intolerance of #difference — sometimes referenced as #microaggressions — has larger effects. It’s been found in studies that #allistics are very disturbed when interacting with #neurodivergents when they are unaware of their difference. They tend to avoid or bully. These subtle, quiet reactions have an impact.

"I wonder if anyone ever asked Barack Obama if he was meeting with [another political leader] because they were the same age?"
