Come as you are, be as you are.

I don't want to jinx myself & I can't contain my excitement. I applied to adopt 1 of these 2 dachshund mixes from a NJ rescue. They were rescued from a SC shelter where they could have been euthanized. Now they're in NJ foster homes. Let's see if they choose me for one of them!

Friends, the US Senate phone system is receiving 1,600 calls PER MINUTE. They usually get 40 calls per minute. Keep calling your Senators & House reps. Keep the pressure on them to keep fighting. YOU MATTER. YOUR VOICE MATTERS. Do not consent in advance.

On 2/4/25, Trump promised to turn Gaza into, “the Riviera of the Middle East.” The only thing shocking about his comments is that anyone is shocked by them. At @harvard.edu on 2/15/24, Jared Kushner told us about the now-president's plans for Gaza. Read more here: medium.com/@christaavam...

Overwhelmed by the exec orders from the current U.S. administration? Unsure what to do. @aoc.bsky.social did a great Instagram Live event about them w/ clear action items. If you can, watch it. If you can't, I wrote a summary. I hope this helps.💕 christaavampato.medium.com/follow-the-m...

Jasmine Crockett: "The problem is that Americans thought it was okay to take a full fledged criminal and make him the President of the US and then they want to act aghast when he does criminal things. Let me tell you, we have a thug in charge of the US and if we don't wake up we may not have a US"

The times we're living in are so bizarre that today I got choked up reading the Dr. Seuss book, "Oh, the Places You'll Go!"

I will not spend my money supporting any companies that roll back their DEI or environmental commitments. I will live my values by where I spend my money. That's something we can do in these trying times. Where we spend our money can be an act of support & an act of resistance.

By studying how nature adapts to survive winter so it's possible to thrive when spring arrives, we can learn how to endure the difficult seasons of our lives. In my latest post, I explore how we can adopt nature's wintering strategies to better our lives. christaavampato.medium.com/in-winter-na...

While cancer rates soar, this is what the president did today. As a cancer survivor who's alive because of science, I'm fuming. I'll use this rage to fight for science. If you voted for this, I'd like a word w/ you to share my story of how science saved my life. www.msnbc.com/all-in/watch...

In case you need something adorable in your timeline today, here's my foster dog, Chipper. His favorite activity is resting in a soft doggie bed under a cozy blanket. He knows how to do winter. I'm so happy I can give him a warm, safe home, especially in temps this cold.😍

The London Plane trees on my Brooklyn street are frosted in snow. It's quiet and calm. I'm trying to breathe it all in. Shoutout to my neighbor trying to keep the holiday spitit alive with the lights on their house.

For anyone who needs to hear this: imposter syndrome is the tool of patriarchy. (And by patriarchy, I mean anyone who betters their own lot by pushing other people down.) Don't take the bait. You're talented, capable, and the world needs you. Take your seat at the table and lift others as you rise.

Could prizing generosity as much as we covet wealth, celebrity, & power be what saves us? I reflect on the book The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World by Robin Wall Kimmerer & how choosing ecological economics can heal what's broken in our society medium.com/@christaavam...

I just paid off my student loans! I started 2025 completely debt free for the 1st time in my adult life. I put myself through undergrad and 3 grad programs. I'm grateful for everything I learned & all the people I met who've become friends & mentors. What a way to start this new year!

Each year, I choose a word to live by. In 2024, my word was vulnerability. I admire people who allow themselves to be vulnerable & I wanted to see how my life would transform if I embraced it. Here's how my journey into vulnerability went & what I learned: christaavampato.medium.com/in-2024-i-se...

What a life, legacy, & legend. How lucky we are to have lived on this planet in the time of Jimmy Carter. I'll write a proper post about what he means to me. For now, may we all find a way to live as dignified a life as President Carter. An exemplar of generosity, community, kindness, & love.
