@krippopotamus @takeyourzoloft Anytime! I also try to go somewhere in a neighborhood that’s different from where I’ll be doing most of my activities so it’s a chance to see a different part of town! 💇🏽‍♀️

@takeyourzoloft I usually only bring the outfits that I need that weekend, makeup essentials, &maybe a pair of shoes. I buy small toiletries at the destination &toss before leaving. I get a blowout when there & that always feels amazing. I’ll get my makeup done if I have somewhere snazzy to be.

@krippopotamus Does this mean you don’t like the shake shack milkshakes?

I just became the first U.S. Secretary of Education to call on President Biden to unilaterally cancel student loan debt. Can I count on you to retweet and help me hit 35k followers so we can spread the word?

Here's a SPOOKY FACT 👻: Only 43% of registered voters in King County turned in their ballots in 2017. Less than 37% voted in the Port of Seattle Commission, Position 3 race. We need your help to get out the vote and make sure everyone uses their voice this year!

@blackqueentech @justkelly_ok The fact that women are told they are old in their 30s…has got to be one of the biggest lies of the patriarchy. Like…we have more money and confidence…the glowup’s inevitable. definitely Team30s over here!

@blackqueentech care to make a prediction for when? I think we'll be back in shutdown in....mid september to october? that's what I'm betting at least.

[Mariya Burrows @MdotBurr]

@blackqueentech me too! 😭

It's going to be really hard to forget when so many people rallied against building a youth jail. But Dow spent $233M to build it despite community objections. I'm not really interested in voting for politicians who only listen community when they absolutely HAVE to.

I learned so much in this interview and am convinced now more than ever, that king county exec is long overdue for new leadership. @meetjoenguyen https://t.co/11pWuK5bXN via @YouTube

"What we need to do is uplift the voices in our community who are fighting for change, who have proven solutions, who are doing the work & ensuring that we scale them up to match the crisis that we are in right now."

I'm so excited for Ada and for even more folx to benefit from their amazing work thanks to this amazing grant!!

[Ada Dev Academy @adaacademy]

📢Stop everything. The impossible has happened. Ada has been awarded an @eqltycantwait $10 million grant! 😱 Out of 500 applicants, we were unanimously chosen as an awardee. ✨

[Mariya Burrows @MdotBurr]

@krippopotamus Oooh! Good idea. I need to start doing this!

[Mariya Burrows @MdotBurr]

@meetjoenguyen Ok, BUT who is inexperienced when it comes to building community with & advocating for POC? Sure, he is very experienced at leading from a privileged lens & ignoring the needs of POC that he also represents. Perhaps “experience” isn’t the flex he thinks it is. 🤷🏾‍♀️

[Mariya Burrows @MdotBurr]

@hamdiforport Best volunteer crew for the best port candidate! 💪🏽 🔥 💯
