My #jobsearch numbers: 2 months. 43 applications. 16.3% interview rate. 100% of my interviews came from referrals, even though referrals only account for 30% of my applications 🤯 #unemployment

Reading goals for April are soft and easy. I was recently laid off and looking for a new job is more mentally taxing than expected. 1. Read an uplifting book. 2. Read a book by an author who exists in a marginalized space.

My reading goals for March: 1) finish the 600pg beast "Hello Beautiful" by Ann Napolitano. 2) read "James: A Novel" by Percival Everett for book club. 3) read something non-fiction. #booksky

I need a book club that only selects books that are 10+ years old, less than 350pgs, and are always available at the library. Thank you.

This morning I was out collecting signatures outside the post office to get my name on the local ballot for re-election. My tip: bring friends so if a confrontation happens you are not alone. I was happy to have others with me when a Republican started screaming at us.

My special needs kid was just welcomed to a friend's birthday party with cheers and hugs from his classmates. This is why inclusion matters. We all want to be included, valued, and loved.

Currently reading "The Women" by Kristin Hannah. I have thoughts and anger. Great book. Well researched. But it's giving yet another example that it doesn't matter how hard women work, we are still not good enough. Rage. RAGE

When completing a difficult task like going out to get migraine meds, it's important to get a little treat. Bonus points if the little treat is also a migraine trigger.

As a native Californian, I've seen it all: earthquake, flood, fire, freeze, wind. And yet I'm still sick to see it happen again. When individuals can lose everything, everyone loses footing. It can happen to anyone.
