@DeKalbCountyPD Please help us find our elderly dog, or maybe let us know if you’ve seen her in the Gresham-Flat Shoals-Fayetteville area near the Walmart. Her name is Pepper and she’s black and white with no teeth. Here’s the PawBoost post about her: https://t.co/qoOXdrY48t

@AskTSA It’s been 60 days since I’ve submitted my pre-check application and still no response. This is incredibly frustrating as I travel often for work. The phone tree is not very customer friendly, so hopefully I can get more assistance here. Please advise.

@TrevonDLogan That’s a mighty word!

I enjoyed the @weconference21 today! Been looking forward to it for weeks. With all the negativity in the economics profession the place to look for hope is in the organizers up and coming in the profession. We are resilient.

I guess this is a bit more than one piece of advice, the extra is on the house.

P.S. - Congratulations in advance to the graduating high school class of 2021.

Someone asked me what was one piece of advice I can pass along to incoming college freshmen. While I have a truckload of lessons learned throughout my college journey, one thing I wish I would’ve done on the front end was to not lock myself into a career path so early on.

[Quentin Johnson (he/him/his) @qjohnson18]

Ask questions. Do your research. Focus on your strengths and build upon your interests. BE PRESENT. BE FLEXIBLE. But most importantly, BE STEADFAST IN YOUR PURSUIT OF YOUR CALLING.
