I’m rejecting the career ladder metaphor in favor of the career river. Here’s why:

1. The ultimate goal of the career ladder is: reach the top.

The ultimate goal of the career river is: reach your ocean - a thriving, wide-open ecosystem fed by other rivers to explore. /

[The Seattle Times @seattletimes]

Six Seattle-area women who came to the U.S. to study and earn degrees talk about the frustrations of trying to get an H-1B visa to work here after graduation. https://t.co/9biU5NxEo3

Yeeessss, we need this in Seattle too

[Jon Favreau @jonfavs]

Masks are good but not nearly as protective as vaccines. If @lapublichealth actually wants to get more people vaccinated and slow the spread of Covid, why not mandate that everyone in a public setting must provide proof of vaccination?

@mattswider What time??

[UN Women @UN_Women]

She leads with compassion.
She advocates for equality.
She promotes diversity.
She designs solutions.
She breaks stereotypes.
She speaks up for inclusion.
She stands up for human rights.

Women, everywhere, are changing the world.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Completely and utterly unacceptable. Biden promised to welcome immigrants, and people voted for him based on that promise.

Upholding the xenophobic and racist policies of the Trump admin, incl the historically low + plummeted refugee cap, is flat out wrong.

Keep your promise.

@pat_nabong I'm so sorry for your loss, Pat. I'm praying for you and your mom.

[Phil Yu @angryasianman]

I have lost track of these attacks. There are too many. One is too many. This is a state of emergency.

[Charissa @charssoriano]

I feel this so much right now.

[Min Jin Lee @minjinlee11]

I belong here. America is my country. For those who may hate me because of my race, I have news for you: I'm staying.

@BarackObama @Spotify Why aren't you calling out the racism against Asians?

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

Dismantling racist, anti-Asian violence means standing up to white supremacy - the same ideology that asks us to empathize with those who commit racist violence rather than the families destroyed and communities targeted by it.

This week a Thai American was MURDERED, a Viet grandmother was assaulted & a Fillipino American was slashed across the face. Mainstream media does not spotlight our stories. Racism Kills. @CNN @MSNBC @maddowshow @andersoncooper cover us! We are dying to be heard. #justiceforvicha

“Don’t tell me things can’t change. They can and they do.” - an emotional Joe Biden leaving Delaware just now.
