@sptonjohn@adhdjesse Thanks, @sptonjohn ! This is why I’ve been a barista for over twenty years. I love the connections I make with my customers. I believe in the idea of my cafes being a persons “third place”—a safe place for them to come and chat, connect and feel comfortable.

@healthnet Across America, millions of sick and dying people & our families spend our precious precious time navigating infuriating insurance bureaucracies that are set up to deny us care and enrich the CEOs.
I believe we can do better.
I believe its time for #MedicareForAll.
Do you?
