Life's been such a whirlwind and I still don't have the right words, but it's been over a month so to officially share ...I PASSED MY DISSERTATION DEFENSE!!! So grateful to all those who've supported me over the past 6 1/2 years, I wouldn't have made it through without you!!!

[Alicia Bunger @BungerAlicia]

Congratulations Dr. Becky Phillips! 🎉🎉Becky successfully defended her dissertation, which focused on workforce turnover in public child welfare agencies. Super proud of you, your work, and all you've learned! :) @basicbecky85 @osucsw @michellejm16

Models that link services across systems can improve outcomes. But w/o strong cross-system collaboration, implementation breaks down. Tons of thanks to Susan Yoon @MaguireJack1 @kywest1 @basicbecky85 Gretchen ClarkHammond, Christy Kranich & co! https://t.co/8OKNlHyNQN @osucsw

Elections officials across the country are pushing back on the Big Lie. Here in Oregon, we're making sure everyone knows that we've had free and fair elections through vote-by-mail for over 20 years. #orpol https://t.co/M93TCXqsbx

As a silly example of how I resonated with your description of mental itchiness - I have exactly 2 videos posted on TikTok. This is one of them, the caption for which reads "My brain whenever I grab a handful of M&Ms"

[Becky Phillips @basicbecky85]

@johngreen Thank you for sharing your belly with the world. To me at least, it helps give the world the courage to share back.

[Becky Phillips @basicbecky85]

I'd give it five stars.

First sunrise I was able to see from my new Oregon balcony - Literally cried tears of happiness/gratitude for it and everything that has aligned during this transition and all the love and support I continue to receive along the way ♥️

[Becky Phillips @basicbecky85]

@KenTremendous Don't know if you will ever see this or if it will mean anything but trying is better than not trying. Just thought you deserved to know that when drowning in M&M peep chili, you and your show/book are Eleanor to my Chidi. Thank you for basically saving my life.

The United States we know today was built with the labor of enslaved Black Americans. The last were not freed (officially) until 19 June 1865. Let us celebrate— and never forget.

[Becky Phillips @basicbecky85]

Happy Pride! Speaking of living your best life- this Fall I start as an Assistant Professor at Western Oregon University, where I'll be leading the development of a Social Work program!🥳 So excited for this opportunity and grateful for the support that has helped me get here! 🥰

The loudest voices in the Republican Party demanding that women be forced to give birth against their will are exactly the same people who oppose virtually every effort here in Congress designed to improve life for children and their mothers.

This is what a rigged and corrupt system looks like.

Effective Tax Rate:
0.1%: Warren Buffett worth $111 billion
1.1%: Jeff Bezos worth $131 billion
1.8% Mike Bloomberg worth $82 billion
2.1%: Elon Musk worth $210 billion
13.5%: Registered Nurse

Yes. It's time to #TaxTheRich
