Firing all employees with less than a year of experience in their current role is typical of a mindset that just cares about maximizing a metric of loss and that assumes someone will pick up the slack and keep things going. For business, that’s often been government. For government, that’s nobody

I love when music that doesn’t feel like you’re listening to music, rather you’ve turned the dial to your own internal soundtrack or you’re wading in a stream of beautiful humanity. This is That. open.spotify.com/track/3K2O5q... During these insane times it’s key to find these moments. Love ya’ll.

This really sums up how I feel presently. I lost my voice over the past few years but If we‘re gonna get through this at all, it’s because we do it together — I’m here and stronger than ever to help carry the load.

I'm not saying "I'm back" in a ppl/community-organizing context, but something just kinda woke up inside me, remembering I have a superpower and I'm supposed to do something responsible with it.
I didn't know what to do in 2016. I think I know how to start now.
