If you're not currently directly in the line of fire of what's happening, it's very important not to add to a sense of panic and not to catastrophize. It doesn't help those who ARE in the direct line of fire. Better to say nothing than to add to people's legitimate stress and fear.

Just came here to cheer for my favorite #masterclass so far, and it is @amypoehler.bsky.social It is so solid. Funny. Sincere. So many good nuggets of wisdom. Also, more of us need to be asking ourselves/ our orgs the question of “does this scene need me?”

The removal of a Tuskegee Airmen video from Air Force training sparked national outrage, leading to its reinstatement. These heroes’ sacrifices are not just DEI—they are American history. Their legacy of valor and resilience must be preserved.

Tuned in for the election results certification. I was not prepared to watch Kamala have to stand and listen to every state results read, one by one. Folks are talking about the senator’ husband’s tacky handshake incident, but I was dismayed way before that. Still historic.

Taking a moment to appreciate this interview with Cynthia Erivo It surfaces some of (def not all) what it felt like to be in the audience of Wicked as a Black woman. youtu.be/aMr-nrBCZeQ

I saw Wicked with friends. Let me start by saying that Cynthia acted her ears off. That said, the Black woman in me, has many thoughts—on casting, & tropes; for the characters as well as the actors themselves. Admittedly, I was not ready for all the ways my head/ heart responded #wicked
