I tweet abt music/news/popculture/sports/academia. Have an affinity for inspirational quotes, HarryPotter & boybands, despite passing for an adult in real life.

My twitter could pass for a teenager. I apologize. If you are interested in my intellectual side, follow my professional twitter @DrLindseyO

if you make it to 99 and everyone's reaction is "gone too soon" it's safe to say you've lived a pretty good life

[Pope Francis – ARCHIVE @Pontifex266Arch]

Let us all make greater efforts to promote mothers and to protect women. How much violence is directed against women! Enough! To hurt a woman is to insult God, who from a woman took on our humanity.

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

My favourite prayer says: "For as long as space endures, And for as long as living beings remain, Until then may I too abide, To dispel the misery of the world." And, in trying to fulfil that aspiration, I feel my life has been of some benefit.

I doubt most folks know how deep the Epstein story goes but it shouldn’t end with the only person going to jail for it being the woman who was his recruiter and enabler. She deserves life in prison-no doubt, but don’t let princes & presidents walk free or it keeps happening.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Writing is more than a vehicle for communicating ideas. It's a tool for crystallizing ideas.

Writing exposes gaps in your knowledge and logic. It pushes you to articulate assumptions and consider counterarguments.

One of the best paths to sharper thinking is frequent writing.

Tell Biden to extend the student loan payment pause NOW! https://t.co/ZCHabMb4ci

The toughest men I have known have also been the gentlest. (This is not a coincidence.)

A byproduct of real strength is walking softly in one's world. As a rule: the louder the stomps, the smaller the man.

This kid is dead and it’s our fault, collectively, as Americans. It just breaks my heart.

[Brad Bo 🇺🇸 @BradBeauregardJ]

This is Tate Myer. He was a 16-year-old student at Oxford High School who rushed the shooter and sacrificed his life to save his friends and classmates.

Tate Myer is a hero.

[Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke]

Texas ranks 46th in the nation for student reading proficiency.

It shouldn’t surprise us that 70% of 4th graders can’t read at grade level when we rank in the bottom 10 states for school funding, behind the national average by $4000 per student.

It’s time to invest in our kids.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Let me get this straight: Our politicians will pass a $778 billion annual defense budget without batting an eye, but we’re supposed to believe we “can’t afford” paid family leave, universal pre-K, or climate action?

[Beto O'Rourke @BetoORourke]

If Abbott felt any sense of duty to the people he’s supposed to serve, we never would’ve lost 74000 lives to Covid & we could’ve gotten Texans back to work much sooner.

We need leadership that looks out for Texans, follows the science, and guarantees basic government competency.

Ope - turns out the medium income for women is lower - about what I make. You can’t even make this stuff up.

[Lindsey @Linds_Smiles]

Umm… I clearly make less than the median full time worker. $3715 is a good month for me, and I’m a doctor. Bezos could, at a minimum, pay off our student loans. Dang!

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

I want you stop scrolling for just a moment. Take one second and pause.

Jeff Bezos made $3,715 in just ONE second — that's more than the median full-time worker in this country earns in an entire week.

Please do not tell me he cannot afford to pay his fair share of taxes.

BREAKING: Days after the 29th school shooting of 2021, in which 60 people have been killed or injured, Senate Republicans object to passing a universal background check bill supported by 90%+ of Americans.

So far in 2021:

41,207 gun deaths
37,499 gun injuries

[Ana Navarro-Cárdenas @ananavarro]

Have been abroad several days.
First news I saw when I landed was school shooting in Michigan.

I thought, yup, I’m back in the USA.
School and mass shootings are not regular occurrences in other countries.

It is a uniquely American and still unaddressed national shame.

[Chris Murphy 🟧 @ChrisMurphyCT]

Driving home tonight, I thought about Republicans' floor speeches today on the "sanctity of life".

And how this concern for "life" apparently doesn't extend to the kids who were shot today in a school in Michigan.

So I turned the car around, and went to the Senate floor.
