I'm feeling a little sad, friends. So far Team Xavier has zero sponsors for the Walk for Strength which will take place just over a month from now. 😢A donation of any amount helps! 🥰 creatineinfo.org/xavier/ #raredisease #fundraising #creatine #cure #hope #CTD

Your day might need this. #muppets #cheerup #kermit #happy

It really is this simple. #TransRightsAreHumanRights

14 years ago when we took this picture, we had no idea that Xavier was anything but a typical, healthy baby. A couple of years later, we received the devastating diagnosis of CTD. Please support the Walk for Strength so we can find a cure! #raredisease #CTD #creatine creatineinfo.org/xavier/

This cause is close to my heart - please sign: sign.moveon.org/petitions/de...

Good news! You still have time to decide how to take action on May Day! Can't march? You could provide child care for someone who wants to stand out, contact your elected officials, write an op/ed to your local paper, or talk to your friends and neighbors. ✊ #resist #mayday #may1 #solidarity

Last year, ACD's Walk for Strength raised $137,110. We are thrilled to be participating this year to make 2025 even bigger! We invite you to sponsor Team Xavier and help us raise awareness for Cerebral Creatine Deficiency Syndromes. Register here: creatineinfo.org/xavier/ ❤️ #WFS2025 #CreatineHeroes

May 1st will be another big day to protest. Find a local event to join. Even if you can only stop by for 30 minutes on your way home, it makes a difference. www.mobilize.us/mayday/?q=Ma... #resist #protest #mayday

I made skeins, I soaked, and I thwacked. My first finished skeins of hand spun yarn! #yarn #knitting #crochet #fiberarts

Some of my tulips survived the bunnies.

CBS news is caving to pressure from Trump. #resist #journalism

I'm learning to spin yarn! 🧶 #crafts #yarn #knitting #crochet

Glad to see someone is amusing himself with the quiz question. "In the year 2025, at 1:53 in the morning, in the black of night, all the fish will explode. The date? April fools Day." 🐟💥😆 #fle #languagelearning #teaching #languageteaching

Escape room games build #collaboration skills and motivate language learners to #communicate in the TL. Next week my novice French class will try to solve le Vol au Musée. drive.google.com/drive/folder... #edusky #langsky #FLE

Sign EveryLife Foundation’s call to restore the federal #newborn screening system. Treatable conditions can be quickly identified in newborns so they can get the medical interventions they need BEFORE they show signs of illness. #raredisease #resist #medsky

I continue to #Resist since the April 5 protests, but I've had to focus on my well-being. The past 2 weeks have been A LOT between challenges at work and dealing with our overstretched medical system, so I'm following the sage advice to take care of myself for a bit and refill my energy reserves. 🧵

>>Asked about the public fight between two of Trump’s advisors—two of the most powerful men in the world—White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters: “Boys will be boys.” But women are too emotional for leadership. 🙄

Well done NYPS 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 #resist #DEI #edusky

Yesterday was incredible. The official count is in — 5.2 million people joined the #HandsOff protest nationwide. So many are asking: what’s next? Mark your calendars: 4/19 is the next nationwide day of protest.

The work done by the Association for Creatine Deficiencies has been life changing for our family. This article outlines how ACD has organized, advocated and pushed forward research for these #rare diseases. #CreatineInfo #rarediseases #advocacy #patientled #diagnosis

ICYMI, on April 3 the federal Department of #Education announced that schools must sign a certification against #DEI in order to receive federal funds. Let your local school leaders know that you'll support them in fighting back. #resist #edusky

West Coast numbers are coming in, and estimates have now surpassed 5 million. People are still pouring into the streets—nearly 2% of the American population is rising up. America, we are so proud of you. You did it.

Don't discount the multiplier effect of your small #resistance efforts. Because I posted all over my social media about attending the #HandsOff protest, four people who were hesitant ended up attending. This is how we build a movement.

Come join us in Worcester. Great turnout. Great music. Great people. And it's only a little drippy out.

There are virtual options for those who wish to attend events from home. Follow @callingupjustice.bsky.social for info on a virtual “Hands Off” event. CallingUpJustice.com and OneFreeCommunity.com.
