Hi Twitter! I'm still here and will check in from time to time, but I'm more active on Instagram these days. Follow and reach out to me there @DanSimonsSays.

Send Silence Packing kicked off today at University of Maryland, College Park! This traveling, interactive exhibit features real stories to help end the silence and promote action for mental health. Ready to be part of the movement? Visit activeminds.org/ssp

DC's pop-up restaurants have gone from lifeline to status symbol. @RAMWdc @MediumRareDC @MothersauceBoss @DanSimonsSays @RosslynVA cc:@WTOP wtop.com/business-finan…

@DCMichaelA @LINKstrategic @Conscious_DC Bravo to all for elevating the topic of Mental Health in the workplace. Sharing a stage w/ #RoyHibbert & #GraceAdujaroKolker was a delight; sharing conversations throughout the night gave me a great opportunity to keep learning and sharing with some of the best #DMV Biz Leaders.

This was a powerful night. A gathering of business, civic & community leaders, talking openly, deeply, and personally about #MentalHealth. This is a critically needed discussion & I’m grateful that @LINKstrategic could be a partner. Kudos to @Conscious_DC @DanSimonsSays @FoundingFarmers & all those who made this possible. We need many, many more discussions like this ❤️

@FerraroOnAir @EricJorgenson @humankarp @PeytonElroy @FitFounder @SarahTaber_bww @SeedOilDsrspctr If the group is all about Logic, Love, & Food -- then I'm in.

@EricJorgenson @humankarp @PeytonElroy @FitFounder @SarahTaber_bww @SeedOilDsrspctr I don’t know but @DanSimonsSays needs to be involved

What is the conference or gathering place for this new era of independent health-and-food-focused people? The place where headliners would be: @humankarp @justinmares @peytonelroy @fitfounder @sarahtaber_bww @seedoildsrspctr What is the community be called?

I am honored by @ReverendWarnock's endorsement. He fights for everyday hardworking people who have felt left behind for too long. I will fight alongside him in the U.S. Senate to bring down costs, expand opportunities, and defend democracy for all Americans.

@AMitch_68 @FoundingFarmKOP @nhannahjones I share your disappointment, and I accept I'm responsible for dropping the ball on having these plaques updated to reflect historical reality rather than a white-washed historical perspective. Thanks for putting it back on my radar, it will get done.

Disappointed by @FoundingFarmKOP indifference to historical distortions. Two years ago I had a conversation with owner @DanSimonsSays about this plaque that portrays Jefferson as a dirt farmer with no mention of slaves. Maybe @nhannahjones can give them a copy of #1619Project

I know I talk a lot, but wanna know what makes me be quiet & listen? Being around amazing restaurateurs like @lientigre, Debby Soo, Hanson Li, @wguidara, & Kevin Boehm. It’s so cool to see @OpenTable launch into the future with better tech, better tools, & helping us be better.

@nicktylu @jsidman @FoundingFarmers @BisnowDC 🤣

@DanSimonsSays @jsidman @FoundingFarmers @BisnowDC glad it's not near me

** ALERT ** NEW RESTAURANT OPENING NEWS ** @FoundingFarmers is coming to Alexandria, VA! We are in the final stages preparing to start construction with plans to open mid-2024. Stay tuned!  bisnow.com/washington-dc/… #foundingfarmers #newrestaurant #restaurantopenings

I mean, how cute are these two? My mum never avoids new technology, even when it absolutely baffles her. “Filters” might be the norm for GenX and younger; for someone born in 1937 new tech continues to marvel.

@dbreese43 @FoundingFarmers Agreed! I've been known to add some chili on top. A burger is such a great platform to level up...I also love adding a perfectly fried egg.

@FoundingFarmers Goat cheese on a burger is next level. Add a little spicy pork with the beef and it the flavor is over the top.

Switch up your cheeseburger game with our Goat Cheese Burger 🍔😍 Delicious beef and creamy goat cheese come together between two scratch-made burger buns to form one incredible meal 🙌 Dine-in or order online for pick up & delivery at order.farmersrestaurantgroup.com.

@macymcgill96 @dbreese43 @FoundingFarmers hi. i don't exactly understand your question, but here's a thing i wrote that may help explain. wearefoundingfarmers.com/a-message-to-o…

@dbreese43 @FoundingFarmers Do you really not pay your workers enough that customers have to pay a 5% fee to make up the diff!?

Since our start in 2008, normalizing conversations and breaking the stigma surrounding mental health has been a priority. This requires continually weaving mental health into the daily conversation stream and making mental health & wellness an operational topic.

A pleasure & privilege to host a dinner for @CEXAlsobrooks at MoCo’s @foundingfarmers. As business people and Marylanders, we are supporting Angela for the US Senate. Photo (L-R): Tremain Davis, KJ Hughes, me, Angela Alsobrooks, Christina B. Johnson, and Baba Sarr.

@JasonFilardi A national org of public school leaders and superintendents.

To build a mental health informed workplace, we have to be able to talk about supposedly "taboo" topics. If we're not openly discussing what affects our people's wellness, then we're not trying to better our workplace. #mentalhealthatwork #mentalwellness #menopause
