Good Q. I’m sad that it seems to be the end of an era. As for new sites, there’s Mastodon (@joinmastodon Eugen Rochko, founder; I'm @[email protected]), Tribel (@TribelSocial), CounterSocial. There’s talk that @noam who was Waze CEO may have something in the works.

Instead of trying to turn off your thoughts or feelings, try to observe them without judgment. #meditation101

Get the paperwork deal first, not just on a handshake. I don’t care you’ve known the man 20yrs and he sent you a baby gift. My grandpa did every deal all his life on a handshake, and those days are gone sadly. Also email yourself and them the log of all your work weekly. 9/

This is my mom.

She was an asylum seeker.
She slept in a church b/c she had nowhere else to go.
She is a housekeeper & a waitress.
She is my hero.
These degrees are for her.

You made history happen, mom.

Emotion regulation is not about controlling what you feel. It's about choosing how you respond.

Wise people don't suppress emotion. They find constructive ways to express it.

Intense feelings don't always demand immediate reactions. They often benefit from deep reflection.

@dshiao Real!

It's long past time to pay teachers more.

When districts gain flexibility to raise teacher salaries, students improve in math & reading. Schools attract better teachers—and they put in more effort.

The quality of our children's education depends on how much we value teachers.

Urging people to be positive doesn’t boost their resilience. It denies their reality.

When times are tough, we don’t need good vibes only. We need a hand to keep us steady through all the vibrations.

Strength doesn’t come from forced smiles. It comes from feeling supported.

In your career, the most valuable currency is not how much you know. It's how well you learn.

In a stable world, success depended on building expertise. In a changing world, it hinges on evolving expertise.

Potential is no longer defined by ability. It's a function of agility.

5/ If you can learn to listen, the patient will tell you—and tell themselves—what you both need to know

As a general rule, the patient should be doing about 80% of the talking in sessions. And keep your own comments short and to the point. As another general rule, if you cannot
