The difference between change and stagnation is effort. Positivity is a quick-burning fuel that leads nowhere unless you combine it with diligent and purposeful work. #costar #wordsofwisdom #Ineededthistoday

“We are not afraid!” screamed Frog and Toad at the same time.

This is real life! How? What? Why? WTAF is going on. People are you alright? This is not OK!!!

I watched every speech in the 4-day DNC lineup, and we had NOTHING as vitriolic or hateful as the trump rally yesterday.

This stuff was DARK, as bad as his inauguration "carnage" speech.

Nicolle Wallace summarizes the shit show BRILLIANTLY.

Who knew bats like goth?!?! 🦇 🧛🏼‍♀️

[Interesting AF @interesting_aIl]

Someone filmed bats upside down and it looks like a goth nightclub

Seriously?!? The state is going to spend tax dollars investigating a coffee chain for DEI bc they’re too #WOKE. #FLAGMoody why are you threatened by DEI? Florida attorney general says state will investigate Starbucks for DEI practices https://t.co/gPLpnveSfg via @Florida_Today

HR trying to control their facial expressions while saying this in a respectful manner and not laughing…

Pretty much sums up the situation.

Color me impressed… DEI is important in all actions of life. Hats off to you Chick-fil-a. 🎩 👏🏼

DeSantis believes DEI programs are in the same category as Zombie studies. Removing DEI from FL Univ isn’t a “political filter” removal, it is ignorance blindly leading a narrative w/o regard to underrepresented groups in actual history & actual philosophy.

[Christina (She/Her) @AlphaAquila]

How does DEI affect “actual history, the actual philosophy that has shaped western civilization” ? DEI programs & studies are the steps for every individual to feel welcomed, valued, accepted, & heard. DEI doesn’t rewrite history & ignore core values.

Parents nightmare is not “wokeness.”

[Jo @JoJoFromJerz]

As a parent I’m not worried that my 9 and 13 year olds are going to be “indoctrinated” with “wokeness” at school.
I’m not worried that they’re going to ‘feel guilty about their whiteness’ because they’re learning accurate history.
I’m not worried that they’re going to be “groomed” to become furries and to make their pees pees in litter boxes.
Those things aren’t real.
Wanna know what is real?
My worry that they’re going to get shot. That someone with an AR-15 is going to go into their school and shoot them.
So, while the same gun fetishizing, AR-15 lapel pin wearing, locked and loaded family Christmas card posing Republicans fear monger & manufacture crises under the guise of “parents rights”, I say this:
It is my right as a parent to send my kids to school without worrying that they will get shot.
It ain’t the drag queens, the African American history, the books with two moms or two seahorse dads which threaten our kids.
It’s the fucking guns.

@AutisticCallum_ Recruiters and HR need to be educated on ND people. @SHRM is working towards improved inclusion and companies need to get on board. What’s with the stupid questions (biscuit, really?!?). Step out of the box people… we’re outside with all the talent.

[Dr. Glenn Patrick Doyle @DrDoyleSays]

What helps YOU rest & recharge doesn't need to pass someone else's test of "is it productive?"

What seems like a waste of time to them might be the thing that restores & revitalizes YOU-- & YOUR focus & energy level is what YOU have to manage, not "their" condescension.

[Christina (She/Her) @AlphaAquila]

@HumanityCritic I was outside. A regular occurrence on the Space Coast as a kid. We watched it explode, teachers started screaming, & we ran into the nearest classroom. We waited for the Space Center to say it was ok to leave. We left early that day only to watch it on the tv on repeat.

[Christina (She/Her) @AlphaAquila]

I need this poster-size on my wall.

[Dr. Glenn Patrick Doyle @DrDoyleSays]

In safe, grown up, reciprocal relationships, it's NOT on you to keep the peace by managing someone else's feelings for them.

I know, that doesn't compute when we grew up emotionally neglected. But we gotta keep reminding ourselves until it sticks.

[Christina (She/Her) @AlphaAquila]

The trolls (negative thoughts) continue to bring back the “they”. Helpful reminder: “they” don’t define you.

[Dr. Glenn Patrick Doyle @DrDoyleSays]

We may never know why "they" aren't apologizing, or even acknowledging how "their" behavior affected you.

Maybe "they" can't; maybe "they" just won't.

Either way: we can't be held hostage to what "they" can or can't face or put words to. We have a life to live here.

[Christina (She/Her) @AlphaAquila]

@stevesilberman Yes! My son is having a hard time understanding the reality and the false perception of a man he thought to be like him.
