https://t.co/hwZOuBGuf5 I just launched Nerd for Good, a publication for nonprofit workers to thoughtfully criticize and reflect on our field. If you're interested in writing, send me a DM.

Got the J&J vaccine Tuesday and if the last 36 hours were Rona Lite, I am so thankful I never got the real thing. Keep each other safe. Just a few more months.

@Gaohmee I take a ton of notes. It's the same thing that got me through classes when I was in school. It makes me listen and I remember the info much better. It's also an excuse to get fancy pens.

My house is 72 years old and every home project we do feels like an exorcism.

I can see how much I've grown as a person by looking at my LotR crushes through the years:

13yo: Frodo, because he's the main character?

21yo: Legolas, because *faints*

32yo: Faramir, who seems like he could handle a mortgage and be a good dad

I don't understand the question and I won't respond to it.

@shiraisinspired I feel seen. I was a great student and never stepped out of line because I felt like if the criticism started, it would never stop. I didn't get diagnosed until I was 31 because I wasn't "typical" for ADHD.

@SpencerR_Writes Emet Selch from Final Fantasy 14 is a huge favorite, as well as The Master from Doctor Who. They're both clever their motivations are complicated.

@SeptimusBrown @DarlingAxe Neither, just remember your page number!

[Christine Bariahtaris @CEBariWrites]

@SeptimusBrown @Carmunist Miss Trunchbull (Matilda) or the White Witch (Narnia series). They've always felt very visceral and present, as opposed to Sauron or Voldemort who kind of lurk in the background until the end.

Just a reminder to anybody out there that having mental health issues and appropriately medicating them is a 100% normal part of taking care of yourself and no one should shame you for it.

I know this petition platform is not the best but this is scary. I have ADHD and if someone did this to me as a child I would have had a breakdown. I googled this woman and her group and it's frightening. No science at all. Please sign and report.

@roryreckons I have ADHD. I googled this woman and her organization. They believe people with ADHD/ADD are suffering because they have no concept of "consequences". I lived in fear of consequences constantly growing up because I knew I couldn't focus. It's horrifying.

[Christine Bariahtaris @CEBariWrites]

I'm so overwhelmed by the positive response I got from the #fundraising community to my article. These ideas have been stewing in my head for so long. Thank you to everyone who read it!

@VoiceOfOBrien This is Lando. He takes it a step further by pantomiming looking for a pee spot for 10 minutes. Then he drags me to the door like "LOL Mom you fell for it again".

[Christine Bariahtaris @CEBariWrites]

I wrote another essay! This time on how metrics are pretty great and we should be all about them in fundraising.

[Community-Centric Fundraising @comm_centric]

There's a new essay up on the CCF content hub from @CEBariWrites all about finding meaning in metrics. Check it out via the link below.

@TriaElf9 Do you ever sell prints of your doodles? Beau's murder board is everything and I'm dying to hang it on my office wall.

The next time someone tries to tell me to "be logical" like it's the default I'm going to remind them that I May Destroy You got no Golden Globe nominations, so they might as well embrace chaos.
