Have you been asked, as a federal worker, to do something you don't want to do? But they won't put it in writing? DON'T DO IT. If they're going to punish you? MAKE THEM PUT IT IN WRITING. ALL OF IT. Document, document, document. Act confused. Be confused! Go slow. Require clarity. Lots. Document

Just read the response from Costco to shareholders requesting it back down from DEI. It was glorious. It begins "Our Board has considered this proposal and believes … an enterprise rooted in respect and inclusion is appropriate and necessary." and gets better. A happy investor #diversityandinclusion

Now this is a clever bit of old school social. One of Twitter’s founders (Ev) just launched Mozi - a platform to help you see when your travel overlaps friends you might be able to see while you’re in town. Less social media. More social connection. share.mozi.app/in/0193be05-...

If you can read this do me a favor. Save a voicemail from a loved one. Better yet, save a vm from every loved one you can. They don’t have to be particular meaningful messages today. They will be one day.
