I proudly #voted for @KamalaHarris today by mail in NYC because I’ll be out of the country for work for the next few weeks. I’ll be overseas when our 1st female president is elected. #vote #VoteBlue #Kamala2024 #BlueWaveRising

@Eminem appreciate you!

@RobertPicardo @StarTrek can you sing about his conversations?

Advice needed: I am subletting an apartment while I work on @StarTrek #StarfleetAcademy. Every time I go to the gym, there is a remarkably self-absorbed as*hole having a cell phone conversation at the top of his lungs on his Airpods. At my wits end, when no one other than as*hole #1 is in the gym , I have started singing along to my exercise music – – even opera – – LOUDLY to DROWN HIM OUT. Question: am I becoming an equally self-absorbed as*hole in response to his primary as*hole-ness ? More importantly, is there a lesson here regarding our upcoming election? Do we all have to become as*holes if being an as*hole is prized as “presidential timber”?

@RobertPicardo @StarTrek gift him a pair of headphones with a better mic and say "this is from all of us, please take your calls outside or use this quietly"

@RobertPicardo @StarTrek comment on his conversations post workout! "btw the whole gym can hear your conversations and most of us think your girl deserves better and you have a toxic relationship with your mom."

@RobertPicardo @StarTrek If there is a cute girl working out next to him, ask "Is this man bothering you?" then tap his shoulder, gesture around shaking your head with a "really bro?" expression channeling kamala "this ... former president" energy.

@leandrinux @RobertPicardo @StarTrek looked into this, but can disrupt the signal on medical devices and apple just fixed the bug I used to exploit to mess with airpods.

@RobertPicardo @StarTrek a bluetooth jammer may not be the most ethical but it would be a possible solution. At least each time he starts the conversation

@RobertPicardo @StarTrek oh I love this response! Please sing always! To get things to change in the gym, bestie a lesbian lifter and she'll check his attitude unforgettably. She's probably a trekkie, and we take care of our own.

okay, now can we break up tech monopolies?

huh, there are a lot of internationally celebrated days. It would be on brand though for women to be the only group who could calendar together on a global scale. un.org/en/observances…

So who taught a young Jack Daniel how to distill what would become the world’s best-selling whiskey? Nathan "Nearest" Green, an enslaved Black master distiller, taught distilling techniques to Jack Daniel, founder of the Jack Daniel Tennessee whiskey. —Uncle Nearest, as he was fondly called by family and friends grew up in Lynchburg, Tennessee, and began working on the farm of a country preacher and distiller in Lincoln County around the mid-1800s. It was there that he learned the skill of distilling and specialized in a process of distillation known as sugar maple charcoal filtering which was also called the Lincoln County Process. Nearest was such a skilled distiller in the process he specialized in but he kept working with the preacher in the Lincoln County and fortunately it was there that Jack Daniels met him. In the mid-1850s, Jack Daniels who was just a young white boy from a large family and who also lost his mother to a sudden illness at the age of four months began working as a chore boy for the preacher whom Uncle Nearest worked for. It is said that Jack Daniels was a curious young boy who kept asking about the smoke coming up through the hollow on the 338-acre property and why men kept hurrying back and forth from that area which he was never allowed to go with mules and wagons. He never stopped asking, until the preacher whim he worked for decided to give in to his curiosity took him to the area on the property where the smoke came from. As later described in the boy’s biography, it is said that the preacher introduced the young boy to a “coal-black negro” which was uncle Nearest. He introduced Uncle Nearest by saying “This is Uncle Nearest. He’s the best whiskey maker I know of”. The preacher went further to ask Nearest to teach the young (Jack Daniels) everything he knew about distilling and also the process of sugar maple charcoal filtering. A request Nearest obliged and taught the young boy the special filtration process of the Tennessee whiskey. 🖊️As the only admin behind this page, I try to research to educate.

@ErinInTheMorn Thank you for being here! I appreciate you, your reporting, and your strength with all the comes with being so visible in a time of bigotry.

I just want to step back and say thank you to everyone who has stood by me and supported me and my reporting. This week has been absolute hell, but it has been an honor to tell our stories. I don't have the backing of major institutions. All I've got is you. Thank you.

I need young women to hear me: it wasn’t until 1974 women were granted the right to establish credit in their own name and banks could no longer require a co-signer like a husband or father. A brief 50 years. Just like Roe. Pay attention, please. 🙏🏻

@Coleens_ Also recommend waiting a few years. I went back and got covid several quarters in a row.

Black women share only a tenth of what happens to them in the workplace, because most can’t fathom the reality of how calculated, precise, and insidious the misogynoir is. Trust me, we aren’t being hyperbolic. I can’t emphasize this enough: Listen to Black women. The first time.
