@askparamount I received a generic reply with a solution that wasn’t helpful. Please ask someone to read and respond instead of auto-replying.

@paramountplus is there a way to stop receiving certain ads? I lost a pregnancy and find the Woman in the Wall ad, which shows up every time I try to watch, to be triggering

[Cassie Kersten @Cassakersten]

@meltled I’m interested!

@taylornation13 Please help me blow up this tweet so Taylor sees it! It’s important to have some emergency managers in the crowd too - just in case!

As an emergency preparedness planner, Mastermind is my theme song.

Because, if you fail to plan, you plan to fail.

Dominos cascading in a line is the goal 🙌

I showed up to the last day of early voting in VA 15 mins before polls opened since I needed to be somewhere in two hours…

Which, to my surprise, meant I was at the front of the line!

…and that’s how I learned that voting in ATL left a lasting psychological mark.

I swear holiday plane tickets get more expensive every year… I could fly internationally most times of the year for less than they’re trying to charge for a 2-hour flight from DCA to MSP around Christmas. Ugh.

Since receiving my certification, my has husband jokingly referred to me multiple times as “Cassie Kersten, MPH, CEM, OMG”.

Alphabet soup time it is 😊

My goal is to embody Leslie Knope on my HOA board

@rk55416 Thanks, Ruth!!

[Cassie Kersten @Cassakersten]

Today I added three more letters to my email signature - CEM (Certified Emergency Manager)! 🙌

I am so excited to obtain this certification and formally demonstrate my expertise at the intersection of public health and emergency management! 🎉

@dato_bala Thank you so much!!

On Women’s Equality Day, we honor the movement for universal suffrage that led to the 19th Amendment, celebrate the progress of women over the years, and renew our commitment to advancing gender equity and protecting women’s rights.

Today’s question: is vacation anticipation one of the best feelings or the worst feelings?

<2 weeks out from my first international trip in 2.5 yrs and it’s all I can think about ☘️

Some of the best leadership advice I’ve received as a type-A perfectionist:

“Determine which tasks require 100% effort and which can succeed with 60% or 80% effort. That level of effort from you is still more valuable than the highest level of effort most people give.”

@stevenkane @marwilliamson My Uber driver last week told me climate change is “debatable” and I have multiple family members who actively deny. The percentage might be decreasing, but my personal experiences have shown that it’s still very real.

[Marianne Williamson @marwilliamson]

Those who think climate change is a hoax perhaps don’t realize the real hoax is the billions of dollars spent by fossil fuel companies to make them believe it’s a hoax.

Pregnant women in Missouri cannot legally get a divorce. My God.

A clip from Don’t Look Up, and then a real TV interview that just happened

Homeownership is fun but what’s even more fun is finding out how much random things cost!

It’s like spinning a reverse wheel of fortune every few months and hoping it lands in the three digits instead of in the five digits
