My dear friend Jaci died in childbirth last year. Her last tweets were a statement about the importance of abortion to her.

I’ve retweeted this 🧵before, and I probably will again, because I think they are words of profound wisdom and grace.

“Seriously I can just come out and say it? Call him a liar?” asks @JonathanPieNews, a fictional broadcast reporter created and performed by comedian Tom Walker, in a satirical video about Britain’s Prime Minister.

WFH saves employees about 70 minutes a day on average. Most (about 60 minutes) from no commute, and the rest (about 10 minutes) from less preparation in the morning. About 1/2 of this saved time goes to working more and 1/2 to leisure/tasks, so employers and employees benefit.

I ❤️ this.

This is why representation matters.
When little girls and boys feel seen, see themselves in others, they know they can dream big and achieve great things they might have otherwise thought unreachable.

@EncantoMovie is a must-watch for kids and kids at heart.

For years, we’ve been answering the question: When will #NASAWebb launch? This morning, we answered that for the last time! Next up: Where is Webb? We’ve got an answer for that, too!

See where Webb is on its million mile journey to #UnfoldTheUniverse: https://t.co/EZC60K56YN
