I've been in Ohio this week, and it's been 12 years since I've been here. I made sure to visit Tim Horton's and get some awesome coffee, excellent donuts, and buy something unapologetically Canadian. 🇨🇦

Downplaying your achievements is not the antidote to appearing arrogant. Humility is acknowledging your weaknesses, not denying your strengths. Generosity is elevating others, not diminishing yourself. Owning your success doesn't make you a narcissist—it makes you a role model.

OMG this is horrible. Rebecca Marodi, a California fire captain who was targeted by the right-wing as being a “DEI hire” & blamed for the LA fires, has been found stabbed to death. May she rest in power. 💔

So, I'm at a show, and the house music is Billy idol's white wedding with the lyrics of Pink's better get the party started. ...I admit I am getting old, but (looks left and right) is this what music is these days? Do people not write new music anymore? I don't like it. This will make me hate AI.

🚨BREAKING: In 4-3 decision, Wisconsin Supreme Court reverses lower court decision and DISMISSES voter suppression lawsuit. A big victory for our clients the WI Alliance for Retired Americans and voting rights in Wisconsin. Another stinging loss for the GOP! www.democracydocket.com/cases/wiscon...

My co-worker for the afternoon. She's just here to observe. #dogsofbluesky

I really wanted to be there today, but I have to be out of town this week. Someone shout extra loud for me. #atlanta #gapol #50501movement

... “total shutdown” is planned for March 15... Website for the General Strike: generalstrikeus.com OPPOSE! PLEASE REPOST!

History doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes…

We have the power! #DiversityEquityInclusion #StrenghtInNumbers #24HourEconomicBlackout

I have decided to blitz out on sugar instead. I don't usually eat a ton, so I'm thinking 1 Dr Pepper should do it.

I saw this from a friend today, so I guess it's happening. #Atlanta #50501

The country as we know it is collapsing, and it's Valentine's Day, and I'm on methotrexate so I can't even drink alcohol about it. Not to mourn one or celebrate the other. It pairs nicely with that time I first went on immunosuppressants just as the pandemic started. My timing is impeccable.

I think we're in that middle period where we are just doing the good things, and not seeing the results yet. Keep fighting, stiring up good trouble, and holding the line. It has to reach critical mass and then things will happen quickly. But it won't happen if we don't do this middle part. #resist

“We must especially beware of that small group of selfish men who would clip the wings of the American eagle in order to feather their own nests,” President Franklin Delano Roosevelt, January 6, 1941

They’re fighting as best they can. Look at that last one.

My thoughts exactly

Remember that the Trump admin hate masks & constantly downplay Covid & other public health threats JD Vance spearheaded a federal ban on mask mandates. RFK Jr is a notorious Covid minimizer. Wear a respirator. Protect yourself AND send a clear message that you’re not buying what they’re selling

Stand up, keep fighting. Here's what @thedemocraticparty.bsky.social did today:

So yeah, I'm wrestling with my bandwagon tendencies. Im not an early adopter of new trends. I wait until theres a big group already doing the thing before I follow. Im trying to get over that for these protests. I promised myself Id do it if the time came. IDK why I hesitate. #introvertproblems

Feb 16 (Sunday) in #Atlanta (Found on TikTok, don't know of any website for more info.) Anything else like this going on this weekend in the ATL?? Feel free to share!

Brief reminder that dystopian fiction is not 💯 made up. Authors saw things in the world, and magnified them to show us the dangers. We were always living all of them at once.

Is anything happening in #Atlanta on Feb 17??

I think about this a lot. Relevant on about 8 different levels

Song in my head today #tmbg always has a relevant song youtu.be/FjpTmng9bV4?...

Any DEI effort is incomplete without Accessibility. Equity itself means accessibility for the Disability Community. There is no social justice without Disability Justice. #Disability #HumanRights #SDGs #Accessibility #AXSChat #a11y #WeAreBillionStrong

Super Bowl USAID Save Foreign Aid

Buzzkill fact: if the Eagles lose, it's NOT a sign that democracy will fail. One sportyball event will not determine our fate, either way. It would just be nice to hear a whole stadium Boo at FOTUS.

Donald Trump & Musk, and the blueprint of Project 2025 are stripping our rights under the guise of "progress." Are we going to let him dictate our future? We must create pain for those in the position to influence US R Represenatives the most. We start this Sunday, by Boycotting the Super Bowl.

Here’s what we did today
