@KateRoseBee On year 7 of my second Paraguard now (after 10 years of the first one working just as promised) and please do advocate for pain management upon removal/insertion of a new one — I underestimated that process a bit. Thank you for lifting this issue up with nuance & candor.
It’s time to start masking again —especially in crowded indoor places like buses, trains, and airplanes — if you’ve stopped.
Don’t worry, I won’t cancel you if you’ve fallen off the bandwagon, instead I’ll welcome you back to the club. ❤️

I can’t tell you how deeply I believe this moment in time is what it is because we are trying to build multiracial, multiethnic, multi-religious, multicultural society w/ the same systems, skills, and norms of homogeneous society. Here are some skills I think we need get good at:
California's workers are about to get more paid sick days!
With @SenGonzalez33’s bill, Californians won't have to choose between getting paid and taking care of themselves or a family member.
We're helping workers, reducing inequality, and supporting a California for all.
@lucykaplansky Awww, I love the Cry Cry Cry cover of Memphis so much & it’s lovely that your collaboration with Cliff Eberhart stretches so far back!
@kvanaren I am this way about the current season of Project Runway, which reaches all the way back to season 1 for all-star contestants. Nothing is making me feel older than the depth of early aughts pop culture knowledge I have at my cranky fingertips.
There were so many turning points in my own story, where if someone hadn’t intervened or advocated, I may have been left behind or overlooked. But caring people ensured I didn’t miss small windows of opportunity that are hidden— which is the reality of this whole “merit” debate. “Merit” is often about who you know. And who believes in you. But it starts with you believing in yourself.
