Cyra’s currentgift gives her pain and power-something her brother exploits, using her to torture his enemies.

Emily Brontë’s Wuthering Heights is considered a passionate love story, a “tale of love that is stronger than death,” centering around the generational story of Catherine Earnshaw, an orphaned young man turned tyrannical master, Heathcliff, and a young headstrong Cathy Linton who uncovers the tragedy of Wuthering Heights in her dealings with an older Heathcliff that entangles her in a multi-generational struggle of love, lust, and redemption. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Changes in the microenvironment including alterations in mechanical forces, oxygen levels, chemokines, extracellular matrix and growth factor synthesis directly impact cellular recruitment and activation, leading to impaired states of wound healing. Unraveling the roles of each of these cell types and their interactions with each other is important in understanding the mechanisms of normal wound closure. There have also been discoveries of rare, stem cell subsets within the skin, which are unipotent in the uninjured state, but become multipotent following skin injury. ![]() With the evolution of single cell technologies, it has been possible to uncover phenotypic and functional heterogeneity within several of these cell types. It involves the spatial and temporal synchronization of a variety of cell types with distinct roles in the phases of hemostasis, inflammation, growth, re-epithelialization, and remodeling. Wound healing is one of the most complex processes in the human body. ![]() ![]() Over the past 20 years, public health research has shown how health outcomes for women of color are distinct from those who share their race or their gender, such as White women and men of color. How does gendered racism impact Black and brown women of color? Intersectionality serves as one conceptualization of gendered racism, and it has been applied as a theoretical framework for public health. Even though all women can be affected by sexist ideas and policies, Black and other marginalized women of color are additionally affected by racist ideas and policies in ways that are multiplied for their racial group. This is how I think about gendered racism, or a system of policies and ideas that cause and maintain racial inequities between those who belong simultaneously to minoritized gender and race groups. However, when systems of oppression combine, the effect develops into something entirely new, like a loaf of bread that includes multiple ingredients that are no longer individually identifiable. Examples include how racism impacts individuals based on their race alone or how sexism impacts individuals related to their sex or gender – such as wage gaps between men and women. When thinking of “–isms,” or systems of oppression, many often think of single constructs that operate independently like ingredients in a salad. ![]() ![]() Much appreciation to Jules who drove me around the goldfields area of Castlemaine and filled me in on local knowledge.

As the author suggests, millions of grown-ups already do so, and despite all the warnings and admonitions against it, by Hart’s lights even pregnant women can use a little here and there without being or producing monsters.
