As a Michigan resident, a concerned parent, and someone with common sense, I want stronger gun laws concerning safe storage and responsible gun ownership. It is past time. @GovWhitmer @LtGovGilchrist #OxfordHigh

@ADAMBRIANLEWIS At least I’m not a thief of pens.

[Lisa Pimental-Lewis @LisaPimental]

My husband and I share a home office. We just got in a fight over who loses more pens (it’s absolutely him). In all the ways I expected a global pandemic to affect my marriage, this was not one. #workingfromhome @ADAMBRIANLEWIS ❤️

My husband keeps running between #WrestleMania and #themasters and it’s like actively watching his childhood-self punch his adult-self in the face. (@ADAMBRIANLEWIS)

This morning my 10yo daughter had the privilege of reciting the Pledge of Allegiance for her school. I had tears in my eyes as she excitedly told me about it, and how cool it is that we now have a female VP. The significance was not lost on her and I’m SO PROUD #Inauguration

[Lisa Pimental-Lewis @LisaPimental]

Today gives me so much hope for my daughters. Anything is possible. #InaugurationDay

[Hillary Clinton @HillaryClinton]

It delights me to think that what feels historical and amazing to us today—a woman sworn in to the vice presidency—will seem normal, obvious, "of course" to Kamala's grand-nieces as they grow up. And they will be right.

Add to the list of things I didn’t think I’d be saying this year:
“COME ON #BakerMayfield !!”

When I entered the tech world, I was consistently the only Black person on software teams.

Apple’s investment in Detroit will knock down barriers for young people & entrepreneurs, so that creators from all walks of life can harness their full potential

If you’ve ever written a line of code - or even written the words “cyber security” - you have to read this.

The “free speech” social network also allowed unlimited access to every public post, image, and video. https://t.co/oBkoJYI71h

To newly minted Product Managers:

Several years ago, I left school early to accept a job as a PM. I barely knew what the job entailed, failed a bunch, & learned a ton.

With that, I tend to get a constant stream of new PMs reach out for advice.

Here's what I tell them —

The older @BenRothenberg gets, the more he looks like Wreck It Ralph.

Also, WOW #ClevelandBrowns !!! WHAT A GAME!

@Lesdoggg is my favorite part of Twitter 😍

WTF?!

[Lisa Pimental-Lewis @LisaPimental]

Invest in people early and often!

[Harry Stebbings @HarryStebbings]

A commonality having interviewed many many repeat founders with immense success.

On the second time, they insisted their first change would be to hire a "Head of People/Talent" way earlier in the company life, sub 20-30 people.

Consistent across 85% of them!

I’m seeing a huge demand for assistance coping with anxiety and stress in my teams at work too. If you’re feeling anxious or stressed at work, you’re not alone.

[Mark C. Crowley @MarkCCrowley]

Online learning company Udemy says the number of hours people have logged for anxiety #management courses this year jumped by nearly 4,000% versus 2019.
Resilience & #stress management class demand also has had triple-digit growth.

I used to vote at a church. The pastor walked down the line greeting people. I once joked that he could preach to the captive audience. He said:
“That would be wrong. You’re here to vote. I just want you to feel welcome”

This is wrong.👇🏼

I love the concept of unlimited PTO but have definitely noticed the same downsides. Well done Chatbooks!

[Dan Jimenez @TheDanJimenez]

We recently updated our PTO policy at Chatbooks. “Unlimited PTO” is out and “Mandatory PTO” is in. Everyone is required to take 1 continuous week off per quarter to disconnect & recharge. It’s the player’s job to take it, the coach’s job to encourage it, and HR’s job to track it.

This is a heartbreaking, and frankly not unique, story of how many late-term abortions come about. The decision to end a pregnancy should be between a woman and her medical provider, not the government.

[Gary Peters @GaryPeters]

My story is one that’s tragically shared by so many Americans.

It’s a story of gut-wrenching and complicated decisions — but it’s important for folks to understand families face these situations every day.

This is a PSA: If you are serious about racial justice, please stop "picking the brains" of Black professionals, experts & consultants for free. This labor is called, strategic planning. Put them on payroll or contract them like you do everybody else. Thanks.
