Comms by way of journalism, so still a storyteller. Food fiend. Mama bear. As seen on TV. @BBCClick, @CNN, @CNET, @CBSNews, TechTV, @Meta alum.

@jiceman @Apple Yup. Laptops, electronics taken. Rest of the stuff not of value, so bags are dumped.

[Sumi Das @MsDas]

Calling all @Apple geniuses! Who wants to help me with a random act of kindness? A few days ago, I found 9 backpacks. I tracked down owners for 6 of them. Would love to return remaining 3. One had AirPods inside. Possible to track down owner, find iCloud email somehow?

Went rock climbing this weekend. Been a minute since the last time but I see climbing harnesses are still super flattering. 🙃 Patiently waiting for a woman to disrupt these thigh contraptions.

The teachers of Las Caza Vacunas, a vaccine finder group on @facebookapp, aren't just helping people get their vaccinations, they're fighting for equity.

[𝚙𝚊𝚕𝚊𝚋𝚛𝚊. @palabranahj]

Teachers in Maryland’s Montgomery County formed a group called las caza vacunas - the vaccine hunters - to help people find shots. The group’s work became more urgent after eligible Blacks and Latinos were turned away at vaccination sites.

Even in the face of a pandemic, women are still persisting. #WomensHistoryMonth

[Meta Newsroom @MetaNewsroom]

In a year that tested all of us, women found ways to lead, nurture and help those who needed it most. So this Women’s History Month, we’re paying homage to five women who support thousands in their communities and around the world. See their stories. https://t.co/bBz9meqWig

My 6 y.o. got a windup unicorn for his bday. So this morning he & I had lengthy discussion about the circle of life in🌈 forest where it lives. We also covered how to catch a leprechaun. Kids are so wise. We adults could really benefit from more magic in our lives.

@mitrakalita What is wrong with me that this reply made me cry. 😭

[Sumi Das @MsDas]

Still smiling on this news. As I said to SMK last night - I am INSPIRED. This is the way forward - supporting Black & Brown media organizations. 🙌

This is really a “I am my ancestors’ wildest dreams” moment for me.

Frederick Douglass, the mighty abolitionist, was the single most photographed person in the United States during the nineteenth century. Here's how he might've looked in motion. Brace yourself and press play.

Spotted @hasanminhaj today & told him we loved him. Though really wanted to tell him I think of his Indian sweets bit every time I buy mithai. I’d say it was a fangirl moment but I realize it was more Indian auntie. 👵🏽

Seen in a PR job description for a VC firm:
"We will probably *not* be a good fit for you if: You like to close your laptop at 5pm and on weekends."

And we wonder why women aren't thriving in tech. #womenintech

When the first woman of color is being sworn in as @VP it’s ok to be a wee bit late to school. #USInauguration

Posts I will like/favorite 💯 of the time: back to school pix, clever Halloween costumes, and NOW, doctors (anyone actually) getting their Covid shot. But it ain’t over, so please #WearAMask
