Our manuscript has been accepted to a Q1 #PublicHealth journal and I am so emotional. I am so proud of my small, yet mighty cohort of #globalhealth graduate students who dedicated their studies and time to advancing #menstrualhealth #education in Cambodia 🥺— will share more as it progresses!

My partner Pedro is off the bean-juice and my attempts to support him through #gastro-solidarity have been a nightmare. I only drink MAX 2 little coffees a day. I need to stop. Italy changed me...maybe for the worse.

I was thinking about getting into writing-for-me-writing again. I feel like Twitter used to be that space for me. A space of overflowing thoughts and sprawling takes. I would write them up and share them. Now the sky is blue, and I am here, so I'll start doing that again!

Received a major revisions response for an article I'm co-writing and my immediate thought was "Oh yay, not a rejection!"
Besides, everything in life is basically "major revisions" :')

It’s been a rough few months preparing for this international move. It’s been just over a week of me living in Portland and I’m feeling lots of feelings. On the brightside, we are 20k words away from finishing the book. ✍️

I've been having a hard time on the #job search at the moment with everything going on in the U.S. I'd appreciate any leads on #copyediting either in #food #health or #tech as I've spent 5+ years doing that. I'm nearing the end of the #book writing sabbatical so please send me luck + leads, thanks.

Went to my first book talk event at Portland’s legendary Powell’s Book Store. Got to meet @vietthanhnguyen.bsky.social and have him sign some books 📚✨

Spilled iced coffee all over my laptop because a bird nearly flew into the window my desk looks out onto. First time I’ve ever done this so fingers crossed it boots up tomorrow 🤞🏽 What a chaotic way to end day 🥲

🏔️ 🌊 I am so in love with #nature and it actually makes me sad that some people can’t enjoy this the way I do 🩵💚 #PNW #hiking
Several trees in a forest overlook the Pacific Ocean, which peaks through the trees. In the distance is a rocky cliff A picture of Thao’s hiking boots overhanging a grassy cliff, above the Pacific Ocean. On the left there’s a mountain. Several towering forest trees on a muddy path are light by the sun in their canopies. A wild elk eats grass in a plain. In the distance is the Pacific Ocean, some trees, and rocky cliff.

I am so behind and so “out of the loop” because I’ve been writing and doom-working(?!) but I wanted to say that I had a phenomenal time at #sfaa and it was so fun + inspirational for me to meet my #anthro pals from the old Twitter times in-person 💖— best (and first) anthro conference ever 🥹
A pamphlet for the society for applied anthropology conference in Portland rests next to a planner with a bunny on it. A name tag reading “Thao Dam” is placed on top.

⭐️ @maythehan.bsky.social and I wrote about the ways that #digital #food #media creators are pushing #interspecies relationalities by dining with their #dogs. #scicomm #STS #anthro ✍️

A tan-coloured cocker spaniel sits at a fine dining table with three plates, one with three oysters, one with a whole lobster, and one with a fish, strawberry, and raw egg. Two hands serve the dog, one with a plate of prawns, mussels, and scallops, and the other, water. There is also a tea light and a delft pottery vase with peonies on the table for decorative purposes.

Just how sorry are they after rejecting your paper? Like, on a scale from 'I lose sleep over it every night' to 'I can't handle this, I’m quitting my job,' where do they land? Asking for a friend. 🙃
