Nothing better than this new TS album to get me through late Friday afternoon data entry💃🏼
Durham City Council Oct. 17, 2022 (Livestream)
Took me all of one week to confirm that glass water bottles are a bad idea
If anyone knows where to get green peanuts in DC lmk
Yet another perfect example of how this country continues to pass NEW policies right NOW that perpetuate gender and racial inequities. Fixing the system needs to be about both dismantling historical injustices & prioritizing the most marginalized now. commondreams.org/news/2022/07/2…
Forced pregnancy is a crime against humanity.
ICYMI— I recently said farewell to my amazing colleagues at @amprog after an exciting/challenging 2.5 yrs. So grateful for everything I learned & the ECE community. Today I joined @finhealthnet where I’ll be working to advance systemic solutions that promote #finhealth for all!
The foot doctor just asked me if I’m in medicine…like absolutely not but so flattered that you think I’m asking informed questions 💁🏼♀️
On this #providerappreciationday I’m especially grateful for my PreK4 teacher, Mrs. Hawkins. She’s played an instrumental role shaping me and still to this day lends a thoughtful and supportive ear when I need it.
Feeling FOMO about durham elections ugh
The lack of investment in the care industry has meant that #childcare workers & early educators are significantly underpaid, despite doing the crucial work of caring for our children. Tell Congress to support these essential workers & #SolveChildCare bit.ly/3EqgGts
Feeling especially grateful today for a whole lotta kick-ass women I’ve worked with in my short career
*checks calendar to see if I will be expected to use my voice during any meetings tomorrow*
This Glass Animals version of Solar Power sounds like it should be in Pitch Perfect
Woke up with dancing queen stuck in my head
Loving how @timkaine is ticking off all the things that all the witnesses agree on: that we should use reconciliation to #SolveChildCare; that a greater investment in high quality #childcare is good and necessary for children, educators, businesses and our economy.
Still mad about that time MOCs (including a Senator from my home state) sold stocks based on privileged tea about COVID before the public knew. And then nothing happened and they still get to influence policies that determine the basic economic security of millions of people 🙃
Y’all I figured it out—the House should leverage the daylight savings bill and delay a vote until the Senate passes child care and preschool
