If we made mental health/self-awareness/meditation as important as math/history/biology in school (k-12), I have no doubt our society would completely transform w/in a couple generations. #WorldMentalHealthDay

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

We need to expand and invest in mental health care—and we need to get as comfortable talking about mental health as we would any physical medical challenges. #WorldMentalHealthDay

[Marianne Williamson @marwilliamson]

For anyone who tries to pull the canard that today’s shooting has nothing to do with gun control and was simply a mental health issue on the part of the shooter: the larger mental health issue is the greed and insanity of a nation that allows guns to be so easily accessible.

@superpozition Def not worst on face of planet, but every time I use this app I leave it so frustrated because of this - it was such a bizzare change I actually just assumed it was a massive bug.

[Athena Perez @AthenaPerez12]

@RiggsBarstool Unbelievably poor judgement to do this on camera.

[Natalie Armendariz ☻ @natalievi]

One of the most confident things you can say is "I don't know".

[Athena Perez @AthenaPerez12]

@awoods Nice!

[Athena Perez @AthenaPerez12]

@Webex ‘can you see my screen?’

[Athena Perez @AthenaPerez12]

@normative Also wasn’t the end of days supposed to happen like two or three days ago? How did they explain that away?

[Athena Perez @AthenaPerez12]

@syswarren almost exclusively 😅

[Athena Perez @AthenaPerez12]

@keavy 💁‍♀️ love it.

[Athena Perez @AthenaPerez12]

@DannPetty Great question! I start with a vague-ish design question/prompt to understand if the person groks that we need to align on the problem we are trying to solve first. I find this valuable because I’m able to see _if_ they ask questions, and what they ask about.

[Athena Perez @AthenaPerez12]

@MelindaMcClure @brad_frost This is so disappointing 😞

[Athena Perez @AthenaPerez12]

@syswarren Yes! I’d add PMs as well. Happens less and less these days (especially on my current teams thank goodness🤝), but when it does it’s pretty jolting.

[Athena Perez @AthenaPerez12]

@brianwacker1 YES! Best news of my day. Proud of the PGA 🙏🏼

[Athena Perez @AthenaPerez12]

@PGA YES! Thank you.

[Athena Perez @AthenaPerez12]

@brianwacker1 🎯🎯🎯

[Athena Perez @AthenaPerez12]

@brianwacker1 lol at some of these replies... like some people have a tough time with.....reality 🤨 (perhaps the difficulty acknowledging the problems w noted bullets stem from the fact that it doesn’t inconvenience them & their version of it 🤔)

[Athena Perez @AthenaPerez12]

@JasonIsbell Yes!!! I just passed my 10 year sober anniversary - one of the best gifts of every day.

[Athena Perez @AthenaPerez12]

@JFeinsteinBooks Thank you for speaking up!

[Athena Perez @AthenaPerez12]

@FranKatsoudas Thank you!!!

[Athena Perez @AthenaPerez12]

@jelly_pack This makes me sick. The man apologized profusely. I don’t have full context here, but from what I have seen this is a wretched and seemingly unhinged response.
