#communications folx #TransportationTwitter: anyone have plain language sentences/alternatives to the word "multimodal"? Transportation people love that word, but it's jargony enough that most people don't what it means. Would love to hear what you've come up with!

Public servants are under attack. In recent years, we've seen alarming uptick in problematic—& violent—behavior toward public servants➡️mass burnout & resignation. In latest piece, I write about making public spaces healthy, inclusive & welcoming for all:vtdigger.org/2023/02/06/all…

In VT, 44% of households store at least 1 firearm in the home & 1/2 of those households store them locked & unloaded. Storing firearms unloaded, separate from ammunition, & in a locked place (or secured w/a safety device) reduces risk of suicide attempts. healthvermont.gov/sites/default/…

As a Comms Director in Emergency Prep/Response, I've always wondered how we could use humor to engage people about emergency preparedness. Thanks, @waDNR for showing me that anything is possible. Y'all are crushing the gov social media game😂

“The mere act of men speaking up & lending their voices will normalize the idea (of abortion). This is to shift the culture and bring the majority of men who are pro-choice more actively in this fight." We passed this amendment because ALL VTers showed up vtdigger.org/2022/11/09/ver…

I just learned with Tuesday’s election results, the #vt legislature increased the number of women from 73 to 81—from 40.6% to 45%—the highest ever in our history! That is alongside electing the first women to serve as state AG and our rep in Congress! #vtpoli #ElectWomen 💪🏼
