My first "real" sec interview the manager told me I couldn't survive the "harsh-jargon, male dominated" office and to look elsewhere. I took the job, replaced the manager within a year and got the company to diversify. A decade later I run global orgs that solve exciting problems

Wow. @ingeveb has everyone eating their dust in Purim satires today. Whew!

[In geveb @ingeveb]

If you liked #FidlerAfnDakh, boy have we got news for you! In geveb is thrilled to announce an exciting new project: the staging of several Broadway musicals, newly translated into Yiddish. https://t.co/KWfnvuQssY

Also I drove all night in a borrowed Prius to snuggle this one since this weekend is their birthday <3 #YiddishLibe #queerlove

This week was fucking brutal, but I got to wear this band costume for Kadima's Walls & Borders themed Purim, & after our last song (one of my originals) ended, dancers sitting on the floor absorbing quietly for a couple mins they started singing it again so it's pretty alright

TOUR UPDATE: My friend and bandmate Dandelion had her van/traveling pocket theater/actual home broken into. We're throwing an impromptu fundraiser show tomorrow in Fresno, so come show Dandy some love! https://t.co/zdDLtBfoa6

Brazilian President Bolsonaro has:

-Praised torture
-Called refugees "scum of the world"
-Compared same-sex adoption to pedophilia
-Expressed admiration for Brazil’s military dictatorship
-Called for extrajudicial killings

We must call out human rights abuses worldwide.

Dick Dale literally dropped dead touring and could not afford the medical care he needed and could have lived and retired if we had a sane, universal health care policy but 🤷🏻‍♀️

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

White supremacists committed the largest # of extremist killings in 2017.

What the President is saying here: “if you engage in violent acts of white supremacy, I will look the other way.”

Understand that this is deliberate. This is why we can’t afford to sit on the sidelines.

I think I reached peak white lady

Waze picked the WORST route coming home from errands and I'm in a stopped line of cars for construction

Lady in car in front yells at one of the laboring construction workers about traffic

Seattle you need tonpay attention... this is like all our beloved rock and metal groups but Klezmer infused, it is going to 100% be your jam

[Yiddish Praxis @RokhlK]

You guys have been sleeping on the Latvian Yiddish psychedelic rock of FORSHPIL smdh but they’re gonna be playing NYC in a few weeks.

This is a goddamn bop

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

I LOVE how fired up our NY-14 town halls get. This is New York City!

Getting fired up means you care. I’d never discount the passion and courage it takes to stand up at a town hall.

So this was a great moment and an awesome opportunity to have this honest conversation. 💜

@jeremysarna Oh noooo

@allisonhope47 Probably <3

[Caleb Ecarma @calebhecarma]

too fucking easy

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

GOP challenged me in committee, betting on an assumption that I didn’t know what I was talking about.

Spoiler: I knew what I was talking about.

Keep believing the patronizing trope about “not smart, but her heart’s in the right place.”

Makes em underprepare &not see us coming.

WATCH: Looting begins in #Venezuela as the people struggle amid no food, no medicine and NO ELECTRICITY. The crisis is growing very acute.
