@RepDavids Not just for daily operations, but also for health care! Thank you for working for high-speed internet for everyone!

I don’t wear 🌈 items to tell you who’s in my bed. I wear 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ so the family across the street knows they are safe. So the couple in the restaurant know they aren’t alone. So the boy who sees me notice him looking at dresses knows I won’t judge. I wear pride bc you make them hide

Hilarious explanation of the indictment.

[fooler initiative @metroadlib]

I LITERALLY stopped working on my memo so I could read this indictment.

I am on page 24 and JESUS LUPITA NYONG'O CHRIST.

HOW this man still has the capacity to shock me after everything that's happened, i'll never know.

but I am sitting here *STUNNED*.

Tonight, Union Station and @KauffmanCenter are combining our visual voices to celebrate Kansas City’s PrideFest Weekend, to support Pride Month, and to and show our commitment to an inclusive environment for all.

And if you’re attending PrideFest this weekend at Theis Park, be sure to stop by and participate in Science City’s in-person activities, including Pinwheel Galaxy, Spectacular Spectroscopy and Colorful Chromatography. Also note that Sunday at PrideFest is focused on family friendly entertainment and activities.

@peoplearewild It's never as sexy as they think it's gonna be.....

@ERRNLife1 @fuzzymittens Given that it has to be taken indefinitely, we will be seeing more folks who are not CURRENTLY obese taking them. Will that be a problem too? Perhaps let people and their providers decided what meds are appropriate, not how you think they look.

@cindy4kansas Thank you for trying to make them follow the rules and hear from both sides.

[Monica @monkaha42]

I'd hoped you were exaggerating. Read the bill. You're not. Ugh.

[Monica @monkaha42]

@tgrwmn87 So cute!! 😍

@Woodard4Kansas Thank you!

@NerdgirlAZ have we heard anything from the PA fam?

3) Yesterday I advocated potentially warning and advising everyone within 50 mile radius to be on high alert after the vinyl chloride rail spill. Here is 50 miles… it includes all the way to Pittsburgh!

@sairen42 I heard it from the other room and didn't go and look because in my head, he WAS on stage, and I didn't want to ruin it. 😂

Let’s be crystal clear about what’s going on in the #ksleg right now. A bunch of overwhelmingly white and straight people are making decisions that harm people who aren’t white or straight. They don’t put it that way, of course. (1/5)

[Monica @monkaha42]

@adastrakansan @ClayWires Thank you for what you do! It is appreciated!! I hope you're able to rest and recharge, take care of YOU too.

It's been said over and over by the disabled community, and I'll repeat it for good measure: if we designed society and our systems around the needs of disabled people, life would become immensely more enjoyable and productive for everyone. Literally everyone would win.
