@_kuchi_kopi I agree with you in the big-picture sense! But I think there might be a small but important difference between “having a stronger connection with someone” and “loving someone the most.” The first one involves the other person while the second is all about the lead. #Bachelor

Can we finally retire the idea that people have “weaknesses” and “room for improvement?”

We do not have room for improvement.

You are perfect right now. The only way to improve is to step more fully into yourself

Niceness is saying "I'm so sorry you're cold," while kindness may be "Ugh, you've said that five times, here's a sweater!" Kindness is addressing the need, regardless of tone.

Could not be more timely and needed! Excited to try this myself and start 2021 with a focus on wellness.

I can't think of a better test for fear vs. trust in an organization than their level of urgency to get people back to the office right now

[Kimberlé Crenshaw @sandylocks]

When police arrived at her home to serve a warrant for failing to appear in court for a traffic violation, Korryn refused to open the door. For that, she paid with her life.

@humanworkplace My former manager thought it was appropriate to repeatedly point out bruises on my body and ask how I got them! Each time, I responded (truthfully) that they were just from working out. She cared nothing for my wellbeing on the job, but thought this was her business!

I can’t shake Daisy Coleman’s death today. There needs to be a different word than “suicide” to describe what happened to her and so many other survivors of assaults.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

The term “cancel culture” comes from entitlement - as though the person complaining has the right to a large, captive audience,& one is a victim if people choose to tune them out.

Odds are you’re not actually cancelled, you’re just being challenged, held accountable, or unliked.

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

People who are actually “cancelled” don’t get their thoughts published and amplified in major outlets.

This has been a public service announcement.

unnormalize touching women's waists every time you pass by them

[Liz Ryan @humanworkplace]

It is an abuse of power for a manager to ask or expect an employee to “open up” to them and lay out their truths when there is literally no protection against the manager reacting badly and letting that employee go, in the moment or at any time in the future

There’s a long history of sidelining Black women’s lived experiences. And it may be hard to conceptualize anti-Black violence against women because of the historical emphasis on Black men’s stories, says ⁦@sandylocks⁩. #SayHerName https://t.co/TRBmInR5A7

.@thedavecastro, rather than talking in vague platitudes and sitting back to listen, consider taking action now to name and apologize for the harms committed. Acknowledge your personal complicity and how you will do better next time. #CrossFit

One way to invest in Black Creatives is to be aware of and support Black Led Arts Organizations. If you know or are a Black Led Arts Organization, TAG the organization below to be added to an ever growing list of Black Led Arts Organizations to support. https://t.co/BmI7ZzsZEj
