I'm not usually one for the humble brag, but it is so cool to have our work at @CARA_NYC recognized by MacKenzie Scott. I'm inspired by how much she gives, who she gives to, and the trust she puts in those orgs ( tho we should still raise taxes on the rich 😉)

So honored to be one of the organizations funded by MacKenzie Scott this year & appreciative of her trust-based approach to philanthropy! https://t.co/9lGI6ajVxh

@DrRivasDrake One summer I worked picking up pine cones in the forest in Oregon--these are the ones that get scented for holiday decorations. Every night I dreamed of pine cones, with an occasional hand picking one up
