If you feel like contributing some pretty much pure good in the world today, please consider contributing to this #Givebig2022 campaign, the project I've been working on for the last few years. It has really come to life, & we could really use your help! wagives.org/story/Tietonar…

@BreneBrown As soon as I heard, I thought of your story of your bff calling after a disaster in a hotter part of the year, from the shame & vulnerability masterclass you recorded with @soundstrue. Grateful every day for you and your work.

36 hours with no heat or electricity and we’re back. For now. Boiling water, evacuating care homes, mile-long lines at grocery stores, no gas. Frozen windmills is a simple visual + explanation, but it’s BS. Follow the money. All the way to privatization + deregulation.

I'm pleased to be informed that #MyTwitterAnniversary is the birthday of both Audre Lorde & Toni Morrison. I think I will host a party in future years. #BlackHistoryMonth linkedin.com/posts/katehotl…

Look ma, we made the paper! “Tieton Arts & Humanities building on partnership with Highland School District to expand arts enrichment offerings” yakimaherald.com/news/local/tie… via @Yakima_Herald

@gokuw33dlord I doubt they can afford therapy. youtu.be/_-vCgWqIKRM

Happy to chat, ma! 👩‍❤️‍👩 Jill Lepore is making history interesting again this year. I think you’d like her. Would discuss her new book if you want! libro.fm/audiobooks/978…

Trump was not the problem and Biden is not a solution.

Clearly, I could use a librarian's help. What if our goal in the next 100 days was actually for 75% of the adult populace to understand this broader system?dallasfed.org/~/media/docume…

"For years, one of the most interesting charts in American politics has been the graph showing how closely political polarization and income inequality in America track one another." @mightyzuck, @TheAtlantic, 2014. Where can we get an updated version of this? Why is it so hard?

@DrMikeStanton Data Feminism by @kanarinka & @laurenfklein @mitpress opens its first chapter with this topic. data-feminism.mitpress.mit.edu/pub/vi8obxh7/r…

@the_jennitaur Read it in one sitting on Christmas Eve, which felt like the kind of luxury that I often remind myself that you’d say shouldn’t be a luxury.

@NickKristof What’s the best antidote when we see it though? Not knowing how to approach single instances is the hardest thing.

A county Republican Party in Iowa advises patriots to "stay locked and loaded," because the revolution is coming. This kind of rhetoric is dangerous, and it can get people killed. twitter.com/BigCase76/stat…

@NickKristof This feels like banning abortion or alcohol, not stopping a behavior but making it uglier & more extreme. Won’t he just find other MAGAphones that are nearly as powerful but less in plain site for moderates? Where is our common conversation about root causes?

Permanently suspended. It turns out that if a president ignites sedition, the penalty may come not from courts, the Cabinet or Congress, but from a social media company fed up with his poison.

As an urban liberal moved to a red county in March, I hope we can each take a rest & then begin again with compassionate root cause analyses. Not pie-in-the-sky: necessary for mutual survival.

Like my congressman, sending them Mētta as often as always, a wonderful practice with friends, frenemies, foes, and all variations thereof. dharmawisdom.org/metta-loving-k…

Just finished @IDEOU's Business Design course: would recommend to friends! Would love to get your feedback about prototypes if you're curious! ideou.novoed.com/#!/courses/bus…

In spirit of humility and depoliticising Covid, here are things I’ve changed (and continue to change) my mind on: - Masks - School reopening - Importance of "luck" in between-country variations in severity - Relative effects of different NPIs - "Lockdowns" vs individual behaviour
