Livin' la vida nerda

[Assemblymember Tina McKinnor @AsmTinaMcKinnor]

This ain't over.

[Assemblymember Tina McKinnor @AsmTinaMcKinnor]

I’m very disappointed that the Assembly PERS Committee killed #ab1577. Our staff aren’t looking for special treatment. They’re looking for the same dignity & respect afforded to all represented workers. This isn’t over. I’ll be back in December & will reintroduce the bill. #caleg

The mic drop comment

Especially frustrating today trying to follow Senate and Assembly suspense hearings side-by-side

[John Myers @johnmyers]

Others have said it, too, but the dismantling of the rewind function on #CALeg live streams is a blow against transparency... given the speed of things, it's the only way to sometimes see what was said without waiting days for the video archive to be posted.

@StephenKing @linwood_barclay Kung Pow: Enter the Fist. I don't think I even lasted 10 minutes, it was so awful. Got my money back too.

I barely ever use Twitter, but apparently it's #MyTwitterAnniversary

Self care is not selfish!

[Dr. Nadine Burke Harris @DrBurkeHarris]

[1/3] I have always said, self-care isn’t selfish. That is not just something I say. They are words that I live by. I’m looking forward to mornings in the garden, afternoons with my children, and being able to be fully present in the lives of my loved ones.

@CrustacianCrust @ReadWryt @atrupar Race and ethnicity are different. There's an ethnicity question which accounts for Hispanic or not. Race accounts for black/white/Asian/etc.

@DebbieDemmy @nursemom2026 @NotIkea @AmericanAir Do you cover your face and head while you're eating?

[Debra Cooper @postdoctabird]

Respect the hard earned title. Always.

[Jeff Le @JeffreyDLe]

If there isn’t real change in the wake of the ATL shootings, there could be further alienation from Democrats in the #AAPI community. They remain taken for granted as an up-for-grabs electoral bloc. My latest w/@JessicaTarlov @TheHillOpinion: #StopAsianHate
