7 years ago, I wrote a small piece about a man who was falsely accused of a crime.

A few days later, I got an anonymous telling me to look up the woman they called “the evilest white woman on earth.”

What happened next is the absolute wildest story you’ll ever hear

“Hope you’re all feeling refreshed after the break” I binge-drank and ate nothing but sugar for 10 days it’s a miracle I’m alive

@KelseyKeathly Unsolicited recommendation: take a look at Stride Animal Health’s Vitamin E/C.

Natural vitamin e has a much better absorption rate for horses (versus synthetic). MVP does have a natural vitamin e product as well, Natural E 5000. Just missing the vitamin C in that one!

When I was a little boy, the Japanese military attacked Pearl Harbor. It was a surprise attack, and thousands of U.S. servicemembers perished. As a nation, we were stunned. And we vowed to strike back. Revenge was understandably on everyone’s mind, including many Americans of Japanese descent who opposed the emperor and were peaceful and law-abiding U.S. citizens and residents.

In its zeal to exact that revenge, however, the U.S. government overreacted, out of fear and bigotry. They targeted everyone who happened to look like the people who had carried out the attack. Those of us who had done nothing wrong were forced to pay the consequences for the decisions of others far away and disconnected from us. We were interned for years, in open-air prisons, while America went off to fight Japan, Germany and Italy.

It’s so important that we carry the lessons of the past through to today. Merely because one group commits atrocities and acts with depravity does not mean vast hundreds of thousands or even millions of others should be lumped together with them and made to suffer. We must never paint with the brush of justice and retaliation too broadly, or the toll of human suffering will rise immeasurably.

if your comms director looks like this all your meetings are structured, your 1-1s are actually about you and your career progression, and you aren’t receiving emails after hours I can tell you that for free

To all our Midwestern transplants: don’t take it personally when people you pass on the trail don’t wave back. Fleeting eye contact is our warmest gesture of affection.

If you’re outdoors in these temperatures you need to be primarily drinking water.

To avoid straining your eyes at work, use the 20-20-20 rule: Every 20 minutes, go for a 20-minute hike and spend the next 20 years in the woods.
