When you see a headline that makes a claim that sounds absolutely bananas & cites some “study”, don’t just believe it because the headline used one science word. Look at the source. Was it even peer reviewed? Where? What are experts in the field saying about it? If it sounds ridiculous it might be.

She stopped by my work today..... with another stack of winter coats and a bunch of brand new kids' books for my little free library. WHY IS SHE SO PERFECT? Godmother Kathy for President!
My godmother is the goodest person I know. She's pretty rich... But every time I see her, she brings me a stack of clothing that she bought *specifically* for me to donate to the homeless in Minneapolis. Last night it was a stack of winter coats. And she stuck gift cards in all the pockets 🥹

For their first project, my Kids and Society students have to create an infographic clarifying a common misconception about "kids these days." I'd prefer that they not use AI to create their projects, so I made my own infographic explaining why : )

I love the way Columbo toys with the murderers, asking them for help with the investigation, when he knows full well they're guilty. His little smirk gives me life 😂

Hook & Ladder urgently needs donations to prevent closing! H&L is very special to Angie and me because we got married there. They do SO MUCH important work in the arts. Please don't let my community lose this place. If you can spare $5 (or even just share this post), it would mean the world to me 🥹

Ugh my company sent this email today. I mean great that we still have the committee?? But seriously? This isn't a name that "better reflects the committee's purpose." The purpose of this committee is DIVERSITY EQUITY AND INCLUSION.
You're just scared, and you caved. At least be honest.

![The DEI Committee is Now the RISE Committee!
We’re excited to announce that the DEI Commitee has officially changed its name to the RISE Committee, which stands for Reach, Inclusion, Support, and Education.
While our mission remains unchanged, this new name better reflects the committee’s purpose and impact. RISE is made up of passionate [company name] team members from all departments and communities who are committed to fostering a culture of inclusion, learning, and community engagement.
The Committee lives our Core Values—Relationships, Quality, Development, and Responsibility—by offering an eLearning course, hosting engaging conversations, and supporting outreach efforts like partnering with the [company name] Gives Back committee. RISE also helps shape policies and practices that celebrate diverse perspectives and empower every team member to contribute meaningfully.
We believe this name change better captures the spirit of this committee and invite even more team members to get involved. Let’s continue to RISE together!](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:7i2hwsf5sdj4iww65t22jn4n/bafkreifedwp5uwgunbtsngzfnnijcd53zzuqr4buyuxp5a62aye3lx2mui@jpeg)

My prize was a $55 smart WaterH bottle that tracks my water intake for me! I can't believe smart water bottles are a thing lol, but I already love it 😍

Damn I wish I would have seen this news sooner, but better late than never! Wildflyer Coffee is my FAVORITE. If you live in the Twin Cities, please make the switch to buying coffee here! They do so much good work to end youth homelessness. I refuse to let this administration ruin that.
The Social Enterprise business has grown to meet demand amid the housing crisis, but it suddenly had a critical grant cut in half.

Wildflyer Coffee suddenly lost 200K in grant funding. Good time to swing by one of their locations to support the important community support and training they provide

Oof that was a rough flight. I had mild nausea for maybe 2/3 of it... At least it wasn't too bad, but still. Why can't I just fly like a normal person and not get motion sickness on every other flight? 😭
