Day 18 Of Black History Month And Im Honoring Henrietta Lacks. She Was An African-American Woman Whose

Day 18 of Black History Month and I’m honoring Henrietta Lacks. She was an African-American woman whose cancer cells are the source of the HeLa cell line, the first immortalized human cell line and one of the most important cell lines in medical research.

Hi everyone~

I currently live in Texas

Yes, it is a shit show

Where I am, it is dangerous to stay in your residence if you have rolling blackouts, total blackouts, and no water. It gets too cold, everything gets soaked and freezes.

I'm okay because I have friends to stay with who have power. We have new people in our graduate program who, because of COVID, don't have many contacts and struggled to find help for a bit. There are many people who don't have anyone. Whole communities who don't.

I'm on this shitty graduate assistantship salary, but I'll survive. I've got renters insurance, too.

But again, there are many people who won't. On top of COVID's setbacks, now this. Grocery stores have no power in food desserts. Hospitals lost power here.

In crisis, Texans are turning toward mutual aid networks

People have applauded local organizing efforts in cities like Austin, Dallas, and Houston, in the face of a lacking government response.

Simply google "Texas mutual aid" to find more.
