Thought to myself: “I’m having a great work day.” Which makes me investigate a bit: what makes me feel this way? What is making today so satisfying?

actors are on strike, writers are on strike, teamsters are on strike, hotel employees are on strike, grad students are on strike, health care workers are on strike... can we realize there are deep systemic issues in this country yet

@Essence this video doesn't feature her talking about Essence Fest at all. Misleading and a waste of time.

We sat down with the Hood Healer herself and shared what she loves the most about ESSENCE Fest essence.com/news/watch-the…

@sbkaufman Questioning gender norms still happens. Questioning ones gender is an AND not an instead. One could argue that being able to question gender norms in our culture made questioning ones gender more possible. They are distinct but related struggles.

@AdinaNorth I saw this somewhere recently but dismissed it because I'm all digital. So glad to hear your thoughts on it. I like the Avoidance Log and the Email Like a Boss sections. May get for my family; has good practical tools for getting unstuck.

@AdinaNorth it's amazing you're doing nice things for her; wish she appreciated.

@ravenscimaven @SeeSydSoar @itsspacejordan @DrSianProctor Seeing this makes me so happy!!

I am in LOVE with this picture of us at the White House!! An astronaut, aquanaut, two astrophysicists and a molecular biologist right here in this photo 🥰 these are the faces of science.

At its best, "The Law" protects and enforces our greatest hopes for co-existence and continuation. At its worst, it looks far, far worse than these latest rulings. What matters more than any law on the books is how we relate to and support our marginalized communities.

Another shitty SCOTUS ruling that will have real impact on people's lives because it reinforces the worst and most common bigotries. Thankfully "the Law" doesn't dictate reality - we always retain the power to be good to one another and to the planet.

@nickgerli1 does this data make a distinction between complete house/flat rentals and bedroom only/shared house rentals?

1) What's scary for the US Housing Market is just how many Airbnbs there are. Data from AllTheRooms shows 1 million Airbnb / VRBO rentals. Compared to only 570k homes for sale. Creates huge home price downside if struggling Airbnb owners elect to sell.

The Airbnb collapse is real. Revenues are down nearly 50% in cities like Phoenix and Austin. Watch out for a wave of forced selling from Airbnb owners later this year in the areas hit hardest by the revenue collapse.

@OmegaBlonde @blackgirlinmain whaaat!? that sounds suspiciously anti-vaccine agenda. pharmacy should only need a verbal yes to the question of "are you immunocompromised?"

@blackgirlinmain In total, including the 1st dose being 2 shots, i'm at 6. I tried to schedule my 2nd booster today and was told my lack of spleen and chronic illnesses that put me at high risk for LC, does not automatically qualify me. Need a doc's script. 🤦🏼‍♀️

How many Covid shots have you gotten? I just got another bivalent booster and realized I'm up to 7 shots. Knock wood, still never got it.

@blackgirlinmain 6, last one in April.

@godischange69 yeah a lot of their stuff nowadays!

wait what? interesting this is coming from NPQ

@mcgrawfeathers oh dear. oh my. oh no! 🥴

@HSofiaReads I was just having a convo about a library that keeps buying bootleg DVDs on Amazon. Surely, I said, info professionals should be able to tell legit items from sketchy ones?

yikes

I just can't underscore how this is likely the most important decision of this term--even including Affirmative Action, Student Loans, Voting Rights Act--bc partisan legislatures would literally have the power to do anything they wanted with federal elections. ANYTHING. Let the potential antiBlackness, classism, racism etc sink in. #SCOTUS
