Decorated for the Christmas holiday yesterday. My 4 year old woke up this morning asking if Santa already came. Poor kid has to wait about a month for Santa to visit. Luckily he just said, "okay" when I told him Santa will be here way later.

Making a playlist showcasing Indigenous American history, music and stories to show during my family's Día de Pavo (Turkey Day). And Yes, we never call it día de acción de gracias. We've always called it Turkey day, día de pavo.

“She said more work was being done to pinpoint specific causes… Efforts need to be promoted to “give kids that hope, connection and future vision of themselves…”

Sure, but clean indoor air & acknowledging that COVID is the #1 chronic illness in kids would probably also help absenteeism rates.

Arlington Public Schools leaders hope to return to a lower, pre-Covid level of student absenteeism by 2030. "That last year before the pandemic, 2018-19, we were around [an] 8% rate. We have been usin...

Met with many families today to support with rental assistance. Why do landlords take so much advantage of people?

A student made my day today by looking so disappointed at another student unsuccessfully using VR. It was hilarious! He did all the body language bits plus stare at me like I was a camera in the Office 😅

It’s what food banks want
spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

I've been thinking about getting a toy train to loop around the christmas tree. I always thought they looked pretty cute but never had one. Please let me know if anyone of you have any favorites!

When asked by Stephen Colbert why he was wearing a mask in public, Tom Hanks said..

“I’ve had Covid enough in my life I don’t need to do that again. I’m wearing this for health reasons”

More celebrities need to speak out like this.

A mom I'm helping said thank you to me today in the most endearing way. It made me tear up and reminded me why I do what I do.

Accidentally purchased 3 games instead of one through my Playstation account yesterday. I forgot the other 2 games were in the cart. Luckily they are games I'd love to play anyways so it's all good right? 😄

They want hate and division… so fight back with love and kindness

Fight back with community care

Donate to mutual aid. Set up a community fridge or library. Volunteer your time. Set up a neighborhood ICE watch. Wear a mask

Embody the protesting frog or the dancing rainbow unicorn.

We got this.
