It's high time #philanthropy paid attention to #earlychildhood education and #childcare! Thank you to the amazing women leading the charge. Great piece, @Volcoucou !

[Isabelle Hau @Volcoucou]

New Forbes piece from me on how
@mackenziescott
& other billionaires are changing the face of early childhood education & care.

They are all women. They are all mothers. This is not a coincidence. This is a new and welcome trend at a time of need.

@tapairportugal @tapairportugal 5/5 It was a bug in your system which showed my flight as "closed", and instead of owning it, you claimed that it was an "airport security measure". So... 5h wasted on the phone + hung up on 4x + lied to. I'll think twice about flying TAP again! #fail

[Patrick Matos @Matos_Pat]

@tapairportugal WOW, I'm disappointed, TAP. I've been on the phone waiting for support for 1.5h, and you just hung up! #frustrated My flight is coming up and the online check in doesn't work. Please help!!

[Patrick Matos @Matos_Pat]

@tapairportugal @tapairportugal 4/5 I couldn't check in online (and prepay for luggage), my flight was "closed" in my online account. You claimed the entire airport was preventing online check-in as a "security measure". Magically, 1h later, I tried (for the 15th time). It finally worked!

[Patrick Matos @Matos_Pat]

@tapairportugal @tapairportugal 3/5 A few hours before my flight, I spent another hour on the phone (someone finally picked up, woohoo!) Not only did you not help, but I was also blatantly lied to by your rep, after they checked with "supervisors".

[Patrick Matos @Matos_Pat]

@tapairportugal @tapairportugal 2/5 I spent 4h the night before my flight trying to reach customer service (I called 4x and every time, the line disconnected after 1h of wait!) Why let customers wait on hold if you're just going to hang up?!

[Patrick Matos @Matos_Pat]

@tapairportugal @tapairportugal 1/5 For the record, you've been unprofessional and unethical. Your public answers make it seem like you're resolving customer issues, but your DMs have not answered nor resolved anything.

The powerful words of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Important now, more than ever.
“So in the days ahead let us not sink into the quicksands of violence; rather let us stand on the high ground of love and non-injury.”

The US #economy lost 140,000 jobs in December. All of them were held by #women😭"As schools and daycares closed, many were forced to make hard trade-offs between work and parenting." @AnnalynKurtz via @CNNBusiness https://t.co/5fnk70by3D #daycare #childcare #preschool #parenting

@JessArnoldTV @wusa9 @JessArnoldTV not exactly camps, but in terms of daycare, we see many families delaying start dates (or cancelling altogether and deciding to stay home). Understandable, of course, but it's very difficult financially for child care businesses. You have my email, Jess :)

The H1N1 swine flu pandemic that infected up to 1.4 billion people and killed up to 575,000 originated in factory farmed pigs in the United States. Yet nobody ever calls it the “American Pig Flu.” Let’s stop calling the coronavirus the “Chinese Virus.” We’re all in this together.
