If he:

-Changes his entire look for you
-Travels 1,900 miles upstream to chase you
-Procreates and dies
-Replenishes an entire ecosystem with his carcass

He's not your valentine, he's a Chinook salmon

This is what you get when you ask the sports guy to come in to cover a blizzard in the morning show.

The #StateOfCS2022 Report is HERE! The big news: Now the majority of states require CS to be taught in high schools. But growth of CS slowed during the pandemic. How can states fight that and the continuing access gap? Read the report for more: https://t.co/w2aJ9ptZgd

Constantly amazed by the number of men that walk around the city with no bags. Just going to work raw. Walking out the door with no emergency tissue or painkillers. Just them and their hands in their pockets against the world

Of all the meeting platforms we've used over the last 2 years, Zoom is the one I love most.

Most of us think we know Zoom inside out.

But we don't.

Here are 7 Zoom hacks you probably haven't heard of, but you'll be glad you now know.

@AkilahObviously We're not guessing, Akilah. We're strategizing. We are word athletes. Know us.

I love this thread lots.

When talking about our agendas for the day, I told my 5yo I was a little nervous about a meeting I have today. He said, “Mama, I am nervous all the time. I know what to do.” So friends, here is all the advice he could fit into the drive to school:

Of all the @nyt #SpellingBee omissions, this is the most egregious

[callista_chen @callista_chen]

Nor my second response.

[callista_chen @callista_chen]

No one is surprised by my first response to today's @nytimes Spelling Bee.

Some good-ish news about #Omicron in #SouthAfrica. Maybe the US will have a similar situation?

[Ridhwaan Suliman @rid1tweets]

Nationally, South Africa 🇿🇦 has also passed the peak of its #Omicron driven #4thWave 👏🏽

A steeper wave but significantly shorter; about half the number of days to reach the peak compared with previous waves in South Africa

Me: Yes, you were in my belly.

3yo: Why...
*tears in her eyes*
...why did you eat me?

This is happening now! Amazing to hear Trevor Noah at this great event from @F5 and excited to hear from @DFranklinDavis @rebootrepresent

[Reboot Representation @rebootrepresent]

Black people are underrepresented in tech and the systems & institutions that rely on technology –– nearly everything.

It’s long past time for change. Join special guest @TrevorNoah & Black tech leaders for real talk on how to survive and thrive in tech.

@socinnovation Seattle, WA!

[callista_chen @callista_chen]

Encouragement and role models are SO important for increasing the # of #womeninSTEM. Thank you @HilahBarbot for emphasizing those. #SIS21. @socinnovation

[callista_chen @callista_chen]

The @HighlineSchools promise: know every student by name, strength, and need. When I was with @techbridgegirls, I loved it, and I still quote @SuptEnfield now @rebootrepresent. #SIS21 @MamutSocino

[callista_chen @callista_chen]

Superb @socinnovation panel on Equity & Access in STEM. @SuptEnfield = always on point. @miambrady is right about the need 4 volunteers. @HilahBarbot thx 4 shouting out @rebootrepresent!

[callista_chen @callista_chen]

Interesting, especially about political underrepresentation.

[NPR @NPR]

Asian Americans are still perceived as the “model minority.”

But this is a myth — one that flattens diverse experiences and doesn’t align with current statistics.

Here are misconceptions that have arisen from the trope.
