As a parent, I worry about sending my little ones off to school. But it doesn't have to be this way. Our public places don't have to become memorials.
This keeps happening because of policy choices, including Ted Cruz blocking common sense reforms in the U.S. Senate.
@medickimw Um, I literally only get on Twitter to do wellness checks on you, casually measure the political climate, and — this week — watch the implosion of the app/company. To see this!? 😱 Get well soon! Let me know if you need anything!
Two weeks ago, I had four precious 12-year-old girls, including my daughter, with me at the county fair. They were getting blue Icees and corndogs for the walk to the car and ride home. (1/21)
This is ‘Murica, folks. Let gunshots instead of freedom ring. Where the safest place to be is the NRA convention where they ban guns #telling and everywhere else seems to be fair game. Glad she’s ok; my heart hurts for the six innocents murdered today.

One major source of peace of mind for us: we and our son are vaxed/boosted. Vaccines are very effective at saving our lives and keeping us out of the hospital. As parents, I can’t tell you how reassuring it is to know we’ll be able to care for our kids even if we get infected.

I hope to see you soon at @NowhereBookshop where I will greet you heartily in some awkward way that probably involves not saying hello at all but sending air hugs at your retreating back and lots of good vibes your way. #introvertproblems
Finished #Brokeninthebestpossibleway by @thebloggess this morning (after putting it off to draw it out lest I accidentally reach the end … do you ever do that?), and I want everyone to add it to their @audible_com RIGHT NOW. 📖🎧
I’m not sure how it works in print, but the audio version in pure gold, definitely one of the top audio memoirs on my digital shelf for sure. Please take the time to read through to the Author’s Note and even the Acknowledgements … or the aptly re-named Acknowledgements. #iykyk
@TheBloggess - thank you for your honesty, your candidness, and your vulnerability. This is definitely one that will stick with me, be one I return to, and one I have and will continue to recommend to others.
She mentions that this book is not as polished as the others and explains why, but I think it actually made it better and gave more credibility that our society may be missing a lot of genius when we try to force introverts to be successful in an extroverts world. #broken
