You stayed classy, San Diego. Thank you to the thousands who demonstrated peacefully today.
No arrests, and no incidents.

Four years ago I wrote my inaugural poem The Hill We Climb. Both when I wrote it and performed it, I did so while continuously reflecting on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr and Coretta Scott King’s legacy. I was (and am) blown away by how my words reverberated around the world; if anything, it proved to me that we honor King’s dream, by daring to dream big, and by, most importantly, daring to dream together. Only then will the loving fantasies of our better nature transform into reality. The work and fight for the dream persists, and what’s more, it is not just a fight, but fate—that perhaps we are as destined for this time as it is destined for us. What a worthwhile, powerful calling only we can answer. Here with you in the hill and the climb, and whatever light lies beyond, whatever light lies within.

Dr. King taught us the importance of lifting people up. Let us honor his enduring legacy as we march forward in the fight for freedom, opportunity, and equality for all.
Through struggle and discipline, persistence and faith, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. helped move this country forward. As we honor his legacy today, let’s remember the lesson he taught us: that even in the face of impossible odds, people who love this country can help change it. In honor of #MLKDay, I hope you’ll do what you can in your community to create a better future for us all.
hey @CarolynD72355 - maybe you should realize that many places on 🌎make cakes for dogs, and someone who loves their dog more than you could comprehend would not give that dog chocolate. so, before you call someone you don’t know a shitty dog mom, check yourself. happy bday Bax!
On the 22nd of September last year I found Cindy Crawford on the streets. She was morbidly obese and about to die.
She weighed 46kg or just under 100lbs.
Her transformation today is seriously hard to believe… (1/7) 🧵
@NBCTheVoice@JellyRoll615 thank you for performing this amazing song. resonated with us and , “we are not okay, but we are going to be alright” will be the mantra of the summer. 💝
So excited to be able to watch this any time I want. Over and over. Also, I actually have to lol to any of the haters that say she is lip synching when it is stupidly obvious that she is not. #hatersgonnahate

The Louisiana legislatures anti LGBTQ legislation is driving a highly specialized pediatric doctor, in New Orleans, to leave the state with his family.
Last year, I was offered a job even after disclosing a stage IV cancer diagnosis. Highlighting the very best of workplace acceptance and culture.
But today, my husband unexpectedly had a job offer rescinded after letting the company know he may need 2 days off, a month after starting to help me recover from a possible minor surgery.
We’re both software engineers and both companies are in the healthcare space. The response he received highlights the discrimination that not only many patients face but also their caregivers.
I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t disheartened and frustrated by their response. When faced with the choice, be company A not company B.
We’ve faced bigger hurdles and come out on top, so on we go.
In other news, if anyone is looking to hire a talented software engineer w/experience in healthcare. I know a guy 😉
Here’s a photo of us on my birthday this year. We celebrated with a hackathon building tools/apps for cancer patients. Yes, that was my actual birthday request. Things get real nerdy around here.
Do you remember when we rescued Mama Mia and her 8 puppies last year from Envigo? They all just turned ONE & had an EPIC party! 🐶🥳🎉Please help us wish these "royal" pups a happy birthday! Lucky, Pebbles, Dahlia, Ryley, Jelly-Bean, Florence, Indy, and Lily!
