I got two today, how about you? #Wordle 1,353 2/6 🟨🟨⬜🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Important @ezrakleinbot.bsky.social podcast conversation with Fareed Zakaria. Puts Trump foreign policy in a broader historical context...as a potential break from the liberal rules based international order created with US leadership after WWII. #history #politics #internationalrelations

Got leftover steak? Turn it into delicious Leftover Steak Fajitas with sautΓ©ed peppers, onions, and bold spices for an easy, flavor-packed mealβ€”perfect for busy nights! #leftovers #recipes #wastenot cookingchatfood.com/leftover-ste...

Not an easy one today, but got it done! #Wordle 1,352 4/6 ⬜⬜🟩⬜🟨 ⬜⬜🟩🟨⬜ ⬜🟩🟩⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Doing a little reading on #nutrition for food gut health. Good news is that I enjoy and feature many of these foods in my #cooking regularly! www.healthline.com/health/gut-h...

Sun setting on a busy and hectic week, a bit earlier this evening. #sunset #weekend #nature

ChatGPT use case - finalizing a grant proposal at the end of a long week. Doing a final scan, spot something I'm pretty sure is grammatically incorrect. Pop it into the tool to confirm that my #grammar brain has not signed off for the weekend yet! #nonprofits #grantwriting #AI

Another good Happiness Lab podcast - "Get Over Yourself", with guest Professor Bruce Hood. Reminds us that "self care" doesn't mean being self-absorbed - connecting with others, engaging in #volunteering & other helping behaviors, are crucial to well-being. #wellness www.pushkin.fm/podcasts/the...

Judge blocks administration's anti-DEI executive order, citing among other things the vague nature of how it is worded. Which has definitely been problematic for all kinds of organizations, especially those with federal funding. #DEI #executiveorders www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

And we have 2 today! #Wordle 1,342 2/6 🟩🟨⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Well, that's one way to make sure I'm on time for the 7 a.m. networking meeting in #Boston. When adjusting the alarm clock time, I manage to advance the actual time by an hour. Nice loud alarm at 4:40 a.m. to get me going. #goodmorning

A strong statement from Mass. Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell reminding businesses and nonprofits of the very solid legal basis for continuing diversity, equity and inclusion programs that enable people of all backgrounds to thrive within our organizations. #DEI www.mass.gov/news/ag-camp...

Definitely #soup weather in the Boston area today as the howling winds pick up. Our Portuguese Kale Soup #recipe is a great option, one of our most popular recipes. We make a few twists on this classic. #foodies cookingchatfood.com/best-portugu...

New healthy & tasty #soup recipe on Cooking Chat! A good #MeatlessMonday option.

Trudging through the wet snow was a good workout! Hardly anyone else out there. What don’t like walking through the snow as it rains? #dailywalk #newengland #snowday

Enjoyed this novel by Eleanor Catton. The plot adeptly weaved together several story lines to build interest over 400+pages. Oh yeah, and the evil billionaire character was kind of timely. #booksky #readinglist

Cool! An early demo tape from the Talking Heads turned up recently. #music www.bostonglobe.com/2025/02/14/m...

This fettuccine is the first dish I cooked for my Valentine over 30 years ago. I’ve expanded my cooking repertoire quite a bit, but this one still always pleases! #cooking #valentinesday

Good points here about the skills needed for today's #nonprofit Executive Directors, and reasonable market rate salaries are needed to have qualified leaders. seliger.com/2019/12/02/n...

Sounds like a great initiative! #arts #democracy

No such thing as too much talent! Good "problem" for Alex Cora to have to figure out where everyone fits (and who doesn't). #RedSox

Great #RedSox news to wake up to! I've always been impressed watching Bregman. Clutch hitting, excellent glove. Would love to see him at 3B and Raffy DH but I'll take the plan to have him at 2B. #MLB

Interesting idea. There's definitely pretty limited understanding as to what most government agencies do as well as grantees. #democracy

Busy week with multiple board committee meetings. Wrapped up tonight's meeting and quickly solved today's #Wordle! Wordle 1,333 2/6 🟨⬜⬜🟨🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

Fettuccine is the first meal I cooked for my wife Jodi, over 30 years ago. My cooking repertoire has expanded significantly, butt he dish is still often made and well-appreciated. Made a pre-Valentines meal featuring with a good bottle of bubbly recently. #foodies #valentinesday #winepairing

Enjoyed a snowy morning walk! #dailywalk #snowday #nature

Powerful piece by Imari Paris Jeffries on @wbur.org about the importance of thriving local communities as a foundation for our democracy. Building on lessons from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. #democracy #community www.wbur.org/cognoscenti/...

Prepping some local shiitakes from Farmers Moon Farm. #eatlocal #supper

Good big picture conversation on this recent Ezra Klein show, placing Trump's first couple weeks in a broader context. Discussion of the limits of presidential power and our constitutional framework, with a conservative guest. #democracy #podcasts #history

Here's a #BlackHistoryMonth fact I came across via the National Day Calendar... On this day (Feb. 8) in 1944, journalist Henry McAlpin from the Atlanta Daily World, became the first Black correspondent accredited to the White House. #history #journalism

On a lighter note… Apparently former #RedSox star JD Martinez has made plans to play professional pickleball after he’s done with baseball! www.si.com/fannation/ml...

A few folks were interested in the link when I mentioned having been on a webinar about impact of executive orders on the #nonprofit sector. There's another one coming up this Friday, with @dianeyentel.bsky.social & other leaders. Register here: us02web.zoom.us/webinar/regi...

I had missed this news about yesterday's court ruling until I saw @dianeyentel.bsky.social post this update on LinkedIn. Good to hear federal funding that has already been committed will continue to be paid so that nonprofits can continue doing our important work. #nonprofits #executiveorders

The Context from @kettering.org is a great #podcast for a broader view on issues confronting our #democracy. The latest episode focuses the power of oligarchs in our democratic system. Tidbit: today's liberal democracies are the most unequal society in history. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/j...

Interesting report from a Harvard faculty committee, addressing a wide range of issues, including student engagement, free speech and tech use. #highereducaion #harvard www.thecrimson.com/article/2025...

A simple thing we can do - #recycle as much as we can. For a long time I thought bottle caps weren't recyclable. Apparently most facilities can recycle them, and not doing so is quite harmful when the caps get into the ocean. www.realsimple.com/home-organiz... #dowhatyoucan

And we have another 2! Three of them in the past week or so. #wordle Wordle 1,324 2/6 ⬜🟨⬜⬜🟩 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩

So much great energy in the room yesterday for our @socialcapitalinc.org Youth Grant Pitch contest kickoff event! 30 professionals are #volunteering over the next two months to coach 15 teams of young changemakers from across Greater #Boston. They are working on social impact projects.

This Turkey Cabbage Skillet is a go-to weeknight recipe for us! Especially when we have extra cabbage on hand. Details on @cookingchat.bsky.social. cookingchatfood.com/turkey-cabba... #healthyeats #weeknightrecipes #foodies

Relaxing at Lord Hobo following a successful launch of our Youth Grant Pitch Contest. I was somehow drawn to their Welcome to Hell offering. Good beer actually! #craftbeer #weekendvibes

On a lighter note...scored a two on #Wordle for the 2nd time this week! Wordle 1,322 2/6 ⬜🟨⬜🟩⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩
