Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life? - Mary Oliver

[Bridget Pyle @ms_pyle]

“When it is over, I don’t want to wonder
if I have made of my life something particular, and real.
I don’t want to find myself sighing and frightened, or full of argument.
I don’t want to end up simply having visited this world.”

Rest In Peace Mary Oliver

[The New Yorker @NewYorker]

Yes indeed to those who asked: I’m writing a sequel to The #HandmaidsTale. #TheTestaments is set 15 years after Offred’s final scene and is narrated by three female characters. It will be published in Sept 2019. More details: https://t.co/e1umh5FwpX

Being struck by lightning is more common than voter impersonation fraud.

Voter intimidation is also incredibly rare, but one way to recognize it is the threat of law enforcement at the polls.

If you witness voter intimidation, call 866-OUR-VOTE.

@C_Fisher13 @ianjmck @triezzybreezy I think the real question is, why are these accounts still active 3.5 years later. This shame goes two ways @C_Fisher13

That is why I did not put anything into #TheHandmaidsTale that had not happened somewhere... including the snatching of children from their parents. Believable? Alas yes. https://t.co/VGw8LkiCIV

Thinking about woman who's being punished, despite having nothing to do w allegations against Franken (a bananas example of myriad ways in which women wind up paying for men's bad behavior, even when they're not the harassee) in light of past couple weeks: https://t.co/YGGYR1JdSn

The woman at the center of Brown v Board just passed away at age 76

John Lewis walked across a bridge in Selma & is still alive

The woman who opened the new Smithsonian is the daughter of an enslaved person

Don’t let anyone tell you this history was a long time ago. It wasn’t.

Replies to this tweet-many saying how much they miss CR-are stark evidence of how firmly we’re set to empathize with & admire powerful men & not to feel same for the women they’re alleged to have abused, whose work & wellbeing we’re more rarely exposed to or encouraged to value. https://t.co/KnaAxSdJ4v

Today is one of those days where I am honestly so proud to work with teenagers. #NeverAgain #NationalWalkoutDay

Students at a Los Angeles school held a die-in spelling #ENOUGH with their bodies as a gong sounded 17 times, one for each student killed in the Parkland, Florida, school shooting https://t.co/06T5j07Czb

[Viola Davis @violadavis]

I stand in solidarity with all the students today! The future is YOURS! No progress has ever been made in silence. #NationalWalkoutDay
