Hopelessly optimistic, hardcore do-gooder. I overthink and write a bit and care deeply about how our words and world collide. Views are my own.

Very interesting.

As a Brit, I've been watching the American election results with sorrow for my American friends. Some are comparing it to the Brexit vote here, imagining if we'd voted for Brexit twice. But here's the thing... in a sense, we did. And here are some lessons from it. 🧵

@AnandWrites We really underestimated how many people feel really differently about how things are going, with the economy, women’s rights, immigration, the environment, Ukraine, Gaza, you name it. We clearly were in denial or delusional.

@Angry_Staffer As a grandmother, mother of daughters and a woman in Texas, I wonder how much worse it would have to get for this state to turn blue. Going to bed because I’m too exhausted to keep watching.

@notcapnamerica I do not think that word means what you think it means.

We don’t have to wait until facing death to decide to live life loving, not hating , caring and lifting others up. I haven’t been at my best lately and I’m committed to doing better.

As someone gravely ill with a brutal #cancer I want to say this to my fellow Americans: You only have one life. I urge you to spend it loving and caring, not hating and filled with grievance. Every day we have the chance to start over, to be better, to lift others up. Do that.

@AnandWrites I hope you are right. In these closing days I am less afraid of him than his cult followers.

I served as US Ambassador in Hungary during Viktor Orbán’s crackdown on freedom of the press.

But the independence of the Hungarian press was only truly extinguished when news outlets began “self-censorship” to avoid political reprisal.

@J13_13F @BayouBikeyBoi If you take METRORail, there’s a tunnel entrance at the Main Street Square station on the west side of the street—in the McKinney Street Garage by the groovy Floyd Newsum scuplture.

@heldnseen @oop_echeng Me too. 😢

@J13_13F @BayouBikeyBoi There are 6.5 miles of tunnels under downtown. The restaurants and shops mostly close by 3 pm M-F and are closed Sundays except Understory in the tunnel at 800 Capitol. It has a great Sunday brunch buffet.
