At least once a week, listen to music that gives you goosebumps or brings tears to your eyes. And make something.

....and this is how you do it.

[Barack Obama @BarackObama]

Bob Mueller was one of the finest directors in the history of the FBI, transforming the bureau after 9/11 and saving countless lives. But it was his relentless commitment to the rule of law and his unwavering belief in our bedrock values that made him one of the most respected public servants of our time. Michelle and I send our condolences to Bob’s family, and everyone who knew and admired him.

@kairyssdal But is it "an horse"?

@bridgetDginley We were probably both there at the same time. An integral part of my youth and major source of my musical taste.

@DaveJoyceOH14 I'm one of your constituents. Nope, no. Please vote, Ohioans! This issue was born of cynicism and short-sightedness and we need to show up and defeat it.

@U2 I have that on vinyl. #heroine

@GeorgeTakei You’re the reason I’m downloading it! ❤️😊

@Jeopardamy I think it's "Joseph"! JatATD

Today, I joined @MomsDemand for a Mother’s Day of Action march.

Enough is enough. It’s past time for congress to take action and get assault weapons off our streets.

As a journalist who works there can I just say, 😯 Respectfully @elonmusk is an idiot.@NPR has 3 sources of revenue, but direct government funding is NOT one of them! I have been in this business more than 35 years and have been “bought”by no one!

[The New York Times @nytimes]

Twitter on Tuesday added a label to NPR's account, designating the broadcaster “U.S. state-affiliated media.” Other news media Twitter accounts with the label include RT of Russia and Xinhua of China. NPR denounced the move as “unacceptable.” https://t.co/TvJTC03WLY

[David Gura @davidgura]

Yesterday, @elonmusk’s Twitter labeled NPR “state-affiliated media,” even though the company’s own policy stated the organization shouldn’t be labeled as such because it has editorial independence (left).

Hours later, Twitter removed the reference to NPR in the policy (right).

[Steve Inskeep @NPRinskeep]

What I like about @NPR is that its biggest support is citizens who use it. They contribute to stations in each community, even though it’s free! That lets NPR reporters act in citizens’ interest. Proof that they do is their reporting—all of it public at https://t.co/otXzKrDLpX.

@ktb38 I'm working thru a bagful of Super Saver and they come in 3.5 oz, 7 oz., and 8 oz. Maybe that higher price is because it's 10 oz. The price tag does say Jumbo...

[Ann Smrekar @AnnMDS]

@EverydayKnitter Still have one.

[Ann Smrekar @AnnMDS]

@ktb38 14" long straight knitting needles have no practical place in the knitting world. Except maybe in a jar decorating your desk.

@DanRather The Premature Electrification ad just now was pretty funny.

[Michelle Obama @MichelleObama]

Every time I tell people how much I love to knit, they seem so surprised! But it truly has become one of my most meaningful (and fun) pastimes. For me, knitting is a release. It lets my hands lead the way as my mind trails behind. #TheLightWeCarry

@cbattan Just read this yesterday. Thanks for just the right coverage.

@GGmadeit Yep - working on a vintage stocking for a friend, from an ebay-found kit that matches one her mom made 60+ years ago.
