If you need a distraction and a laugh, and you haven't discovered @JortsTheCat yet, then please, do. It's the laugh you need today.

@E2ENational digging into the strategy - innovating, iterating, thinking differently to show up for those who learn differently. #ldproudtobe ally! Thanks for letting me join you, support you, and make a difference for the 1 in 5 who learn different!

@FedEx @FedExHelp you’re shaking my confidence daily. It’s one thing for a package to be late, it’s another to fail to follow up and get things rectified. DM sent to FedExHelp — you are adding stress to two Thanksgiving trips for two families!!!

Week 3 of #coaching-training the amazing @RoddenberryFdn Fellows on Authentic #Evaluation. Stakeholders. Making meaning with data. #TeamCoaching because org culture matters. I’m a little excited about this week!

@midwesttgs You know this is why I gave up on NTEN, right?

Yeah, just logged in to that community thing for voting on sessions. My rant is even more justified after seeing the format this time around.

@c_camman YES

@Eval_Innovation This is phenomenal news, @Eval_Innovation! And well deserved. Keep pushing, keep shaking it up.

CEI is honored to receive a grant from groundbreaking philanthropist #MacKenzieScott. Through this donation, Scott acknowledges the systemic racism within #philanthropy and is joining us in the fight to make the sector more equitable. bit.ly/3iJd0u0

Steve was a crucial partner in much of my work with the Real Cost Measure for @UnitedWaysCA. The loss of his wisdom & generosity of spirt& powerhouse intellect leaves a profound hole in our world. May his memory be for a blessing -- the legacy of his work certainly is. @UCLAFSPH

The amazing "Reality TV teaches us about Evaluation" week continues on @aeaweb... and yes, we got to @RuPaulsDragRace! From hot glue guns and hot messes, to sparking creativity and being ready to deliver quality work. Thanks, Rhodri! ow.ly/PHBc50Eczjf

Catch Jen van Stelle's (Actionable Insights, LLC) add to Reality TV week on @aeaweb! Spoiler alert: Teamwork is a crucial skill! Gratitude to my colleagues for sharing their TV viewing habits to help us learn. #evaluation #teamwork #trust #leadership ow.ly/VGnH50EcyTj

@petershankman I'm afraid.

About damn time! 🙂 #pokemongo

What do reality TV and evaluation have in common? Sooo much. The hardest part was convincing other evaluators to share what reality TV they watch! #evaluation #lessonslearned @NailedIt @aeaweb @Public_Profit @informingchange Karyl Monifa Rhodri Jen...

@c_camman You have your life together. Start with THAT! But I'll hold your hand anytime you ask.

Read this to get your rant on about ATT. We know there is #DigitalDivide... does it take a 90-year-old 60yr AT&T to take out an ad in the @WSJ w/an open later to Stankey to get AT&T to act differently? Full disclosure: I know Epstein - he's all the badass @doctorow says he is.

You know what I love? My amazingly brilliant #eval colleagues ready to confess their reality TV habit in the name of helping other evaluators laugh and learn. If only I knew one more...

Oh my, is this last one tomorrow? I hope you've signed up for tomorrow. It's a blast, and I might just have to offer this more often. PLEASE SHARE! #evaluation #evaluationcapacitybuilding
