And your tears —
your tears are not a weakness;
they are an act of resistance against a world that would prefer you to be numb or compliant.

Today choose to stay open. Listen without armor. Reflect without assumption. Let curiosity be a bridge. Let respect be the ground we meet on. We grow by seeing one another fully.

How do I shape the world for good without being crushed by it...

The value in democracy is not only what it provides us in governing ourselves, but the freedom it affords our children.

Love, passion, and desire are all muses for inspiration.

Warned about 'woke' but plan to keep us broke. Banning diversity hasn’t lowered grocery prices, firing thousands won't help the economy, and tax cuts for the rich will escalate debt. The real problem isn’t who’s ‘awake,’ but who’s sleeping while the self-driving car nears the cliff. #brokism

Government agencies should be transparent, but some operate with little public insight. Under FOIA, you have the right to request policies, procedures, and decisions that impact the public. If information isn’t readily available, get some clarity...request information www.foia.gov/agency-searc...

Do you ever just casually think about quantum entanglement, like could decoherence be connected to understanding cosmic expansion, given the likelihood of coherence during the Big Bang as a pathway to understand the quantum-to-classical transition and evolution of the universe. No, just me...

Offer yourself a mundane compliment today, "look at me remembering to charge my phone before it dies mid conversation," and "expert level coffee consumption!"

Here's to the women that had the strength to lift the roots form underneath them and plant their wounded hearts facing a new light. -Wattney Lander.

What if merit alone decided success? Women have outpaced men in education since '79—so why do they still earn less? Black women are the most educated demographic—so why a wider pay gap? DEI isn’t about unfair advantage, but removing barriers. It originates from laws like Civil Rights Act and ADA.

Why is doing the right thing ever difficult? Being a decent human being is not political.

If democracy is not actively defended, history has shown how quickly it can collapse.

To form a more perfect union, justice & liberty must be for all. Access to rights, resources, & opportunity should not be controversial. In a time of growing division, human agency is critical—reason, advocacy, & action must lead the way. Democracy demands more than silence.
