Spouse, parent, and reluctant Texan. Lately, I talk a lot about homelessness and nonprofits. Still trying to figure out what to do with my life.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last. Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

regardless of how centrist & moderate you try to position your politics, conservatives will still call you a Marxist, communist, anarchist, or socialist. you might as well embrace leftism. Republicans are going to treat you the same way regardless.

The remote work debate was funny because it forced the question "Is a job something valuable you do or is it a place you go to be watched like daycare" and the answer for a lot of them was yeah it's the daycare thing now come on inside recess is over

The U.S. nonprofit sector is not prepared for this administration. So many orgs have cultivated donors based on a position of apolitical neutrality. But no amount of "plucky do-gooderism" is going to make up for a solid plan to deal with current political realities...

You’re all about to be gaslit about that Nazi salute and I’m begging you to spend no time on it. You know what you saw.

I truly feel for my friends working for the federal gov't right now. I'm sure a lot of folks are weighing their options with this new administration.

Your last saved meme is your new philosophy. Actually pretty spot on. Puns are great.

It's astounding how many people (agency staff, volunteers, etc.) I regularly encounter who don't think stable housing is a priority when seeking to solve homelessness. I just don't understand it. The biggest clue is in the name. Do that many people not know what antonyms are?

A TWRP/NSP show on my birthday weekend, you say? Don't mind if I do! Not a bad way to kick off a new year. Now I'll just wait right here for a few months until the concert date arrives...

Notes to my younger self: Make friends. Drop out of grad school. Know your worth (and don't work for free). When it comes to choosing a career, don't let perfect be the enemy of good enough. Nonprofits don't meaningfully improve society, but working for them will make you miserable.

On working in nonprofits: Do I enjoy my job? No. Do I get paid well? Also, no. Do I regret this choosing this career path? Every single day.

I can't figure out how to move my nonprofit career forward, and maybe I never will. But you know what I can do? Get a frog tattoo. Ribbit ribbit, motherfuckers.

This is so frustrating. The city is literally working toward encampment decommissioning with immediate housing (as opposed to sweeps). What else do they want?
