This weekend was AYSO kick off in town. One of my favorite things is youth-named sports teams, so I asked my neighbors for some of their favorites. These kids are all winners in my book. Let's go.... Waffle Makers Dark Side Chickens Fanta Wolves Pink Reign of Terror Potatoes

Hey, Introverts! Many of us want to volunteer for #Harris2024, but not all of us are keen on putting ourselves into lots of face-to-face interactions - even with people we know. Here’s some ideas on how #introverts can volunteer. I’d like to hear your suggestions, too! 🧵

@iproposethis I feel like so many parents give up on tweens/teens sharing and talking and chalk it up to the age. We may have lucked out with our kid or we made sharing easier? (PS I share your anti-radicalization work ALL THE TIME, thank you!)

@iproposethis A lot of it comes from Our Whole Lives -- I facilitate a secular version of the UUA-developed program for 7-9th graders. It's *amazing* for all kinds of reasons!

How do we create a culture where kids can feel comfortable telling adults when another kid (or adult) is in trouble? How can we make it safer for kids to tell an adult when another adult (or kid) is being inappropriate in any number of ways? Genuinely asking, I wish I knew!

@iproposethis We talk about all of this before things happen — and often — because once things have happened it's often too late.

@iproposethis For #1: 1. We work with 13 on a list of adults she can go to if she feels like she can't come to us. 2. We work to know her friends + make them feel welcome any time in our home. 2. We promise to never lead with anger if anyone is in a jam, help first.

@TaylorHogeland @Sister_District That person sounds very smart! :)

@jaimederringer Bon Vivant Cakes on IG. Smart. Creative. Generous. Hilarious. Wickedly talented. Probably on TikTok too but I’m too ancient to know.

Do any foodies follow me here? What influencers you follow on social media (IG, X, TikTok etc) who are chefs, foodies, or similar? Looking for recs! 🌮🍔🍝🥗🍜🍗🍣

@TEHahnFiction @joewriter @esfletcher Y’all. I’m so sorry to say I am a different Julie Schumacher. I promise I’m as disappointed as you that I didn’t create this gem! But I love hearing how much folks love it.

@joewriter @esfletcher @wellturnedwords Same here.

Love to see it! So many Sister District alums in there too. <3

Our brilliant alumni were all smiles yesterday for the first day of a new blue Virginia legislature! Last year, we went ALL IN to help Dems win the Senate and flip the House blue. We can't wait to see the progress this new legislature makes to keep Virginia moving forward.🌟

Last night, reproductive freedom was on the ballot in Ohio, Kentucky, and Virginia. It won everywhere. Women enjoy having human rights, and we vote.

Thank you! Last night, thanks to the voters of the 95th, I was elected Delegate-Elect Alex Askew. I look forward to once again representing my hometown in the Virginia General Assembly.
