@JohnCornyn , you are supposed to represent Texans. So how come I can't get through on the phone to DC, Austin, or Dallas, and I can't leave a message. When I visited your office in Austin to make a public comment as one of your CONSTITUENTS, they turned me away?
Will calling your friend in a nursing home who has lost many abilities make you uncomfortable?
Probably. But you can sit with those feelings, and call them anyway.
Please, just call and visit anyway.

@BreneBrown warns us not 2b “candle blower outers."
How do we b the friend who admires the light in others?
Know that person's flame is what drew us 2 them.
Picture our own flame, always moving, never static.
@madsleuth I look forward 2 diving into these readings! I felt different as a kid growing up in a middle class neighborhood & I feel different as an adult, working in a "white collar" job for low pay; so much of my life has been informed by my upbringing. https://t.co/dvZaoQA8BM
@madsleuth People feel defensive when class/privilege is pointed out. As if, perhaps, we were denying their talent, skill, or hard work. "Hard work" is what everyone wants to credit when things are going well.
