Hendrix is a nine-year-old Border Collie (he'll be 10 in September) whose passion is fetch.

Though he prefers going after and bringing back balls, he'll settle for sticks or toys. Hendrix also enjoys doing and learning tricks as well as snuggling.

In the last year, I was honored to lead a fierce group of advocates in a series of discussions to reframe HIV prevention & care for Black women. Today's launch of #risktoreasons with them, @oni_blackstock, & @ViiVUS' Kim Smith was on another level. https://t.co/GOhEJigN0Z

Over the last year, I had the privilege of working with an outstanding group of women to #RetireRisk and focus on "reasons" for HIV prevention and care. It's time. Learn more and register for the launch event: https://t.co/CqyYOPUclF

This @Tesla safety score is per car, but not per driver?!?! How am I supposed to quantifiably tell my husband I'm a safer driver than he is if you cannot differentiate our scores?

[Jennifer Stephens @thejenstephens]

@kristen_slack Agreed. I have discovered several songs that I cannot get neighbor via Pandora.

@Bob_Wachter and @gradydoctor closing out the #ABIMF2021 on #buildingtrust encouraging us to carry learning forward. Consider lived experiences; address the gorilla in the room; tackle your inbox, outbox, and too-hard-box; move in love; and convey don't convince.

[Jennifer Stephens @thejenstephens]

Discussing unconscious bias at #ABIMF2021 and while we were reminded via Adam Grant quote that everyone knows something you don't and has wisdom, I'm still fangirling over the Twitter heavyweights in the room talking about TRUST.

@kramiah Wait a second...it's not?!?!

@ItiBiti_ Fear? Lack of interest in being challenged by new experiences?

@TheSporkful @DrMChatelain You missed a prime opportunity to talk about a legit McMansion!

In their new blog, @pabloandresbui, @mccormick_danny, and @rmishuris of @The_BMC and @challiance remember Dr. Leah Zallman (1979-2020), a primary care physician and researcher who dedicated her career to addressing inequities in health care delivery. https://t.co/0IiU87y5hd

@kramiah @bebe1969 So we're counting in dog decades...and from birth? Got it.

Public awareness of HIV can change the narrative and break down stigma around care, treatment and prevention like PrEP and PEP. 👏🏾👏🏾 for Mr. Porter for sharing with the world how healthy and HIV can go hand-in-hand.

[Billy Porter @theebillyporter]

My truth. In my time. Thank you @THR.

When the electrical grid goes down, this will come back to bite me. But for now, with gas shortages abound, I am smug as a bug in a rug about our 2019 electric car purchase.
