Grateful to have been featured in this relevant blog about re-entry after the pandemic and the anxiety it causes. #anxiety #introvert #reentry

[Introvert, Dear @IntrovertDear]

Reentry fear is the dread of having to rejoin a noisy, social world that didn't work well for introverts to begin with. #introvertproblems https://t.co/W7Byj7REN9

@RobertGallegos_ does our district have an active newsletter still, and if so do you know how I can sign up? Thanks for your work.

@CharlotteAlter was a breath of fresh air on #RealTimewithBillMaher. Staying composed and making solid points in the midst of two out of touch dudes dismissing her super thoughtful, valid points. 🔥 🔥 🔥

[Ezra Klein @ezraklein]

We talk about liberal and conservative bias, but status quo bias is at the root of many of our problems. The worst institutional failures, the most immoral policies, survive because “that’s just how we do things.”

Which brings me to the US Senate. https://t.co/SN8RC2lZvn

Just a note that although this is no longer required by the state, Harris County will continue to notify any voters who might have an issue with their mail ballot and give them an opportunity to rectify it. #HarrisVotes

Time for that zoom therapy. Grad school tip #1 care for yourself with therapy if you can! #AcademicChatter #phdlife

The @HarrisVotes Twitter account is the spark of pure joy I needed right now. Shout out to @saracress for brightening our news feeds with democracy. And dogs.

[Katy Dimple Manning, LMSW @katydmanning]

This is disheartening to say the least.

[Sylvester Turner @SylvesterTurner]

Today I am announcing that to combat crime and decrease the numbers, I have approved a #COVID19 Related Crime Reduction Program. We will put $4.1 million of #CARESAct funding into an overtime initiative for the @houstonpolice Department.

[Katy Dimple Manning, LMSW @katydmanning]

Thanks for your leadership on this, @NASWTX. As an LMSW fortunate to serve diverse clients daily, I #standwithxsocialworkers and hope you do too.

Despite lightning, gloom, humidity and downpours, 58,600 people have voted so far in Harris County today.

Just a regular day for us, really.

Keep voting until 7 p.m.! https://t.co/s3HBl2J9bW #HarrisVotes #HouNews #VOTE

Derecka asks: how could this woman (foster mother) receive all this money when that's all that my mother needed to take care of us? #SocialJusticeUH

“Build your political analysis AND your political imagination.” @oJaison @UH_SocialWork #SocialJusticeUH

I could only catch the last 40 minutes or so and I got SO MUCH out of this. Can’t wait to catch up on the first part and learn about the @upendmovement in the future. 💗

[Katy Dimple Manning, LMSW @katydmanning]

And @dereckapurnell adding to that: “Imagine if people didn’t have to choose a job out of poverty and desperation. What would they choose to be?”

[Katy Dimple Manning, LMSW @katydmanning]

“Why can’t we live in a world with proper healthcare and livable wages that doesn’t reply on the carceral system?” - Liyah Brown 🙌 why not indeed. #SocialJusticeUH @UH_SocialWork

[Katy Dimple Manning, LMSW @katydmanning]

Another away from @dereckapurnell today: We can only provide temporary relief from within the system. We can’t change the system using the system’s tools. #SocialJusticeUH #abolition @UH_SocialWork

[Katy Dimple Manning, LMSW @katydmanning]

“I’ve worried my #abolition work will be used against the people I’m trying to help. It hasn’t happened yet. This false dichotomy leads to a fear of the oppressive system that keeps us quiet.” @jodibcardoso @UH_SocialWork #SocialJusticeUH

[Katy Dimple Manning, LMSW @katydmanning]

Love this “get in where you fit in” approach to #abolition and the beautiful example of planting trees as contributing to justice #SocialJusticeUH @UH_SocialWork @dereckapurnell. Thank you for expanding my thinking!
