Good morning, lovely denizens. I hope your day is starting out well. This is just a reminder that when the world is literally on fire, focusing on what you have the power to change does help. #socialwork #selflove
An empty beach featuring gentle waves lapping at the shore. In the background, a rocky jetty extends into the ocean under a cloudy sky, with the sun casting a soft glow on the water. The sandy beach is dotted with small shells and footprints.

Franklin would like to propose canceling work when it’s raining outside. #dogs #socialwork #therapy #pitbull
A relaxed dog is sleeping on a couch, resting its head against the armrest. The dog's fur is a mix of gray and white, and it has a green collar. The couch is covered with dark blue fabric, and a patterned pillow is visible in the background. The setting has a bright green wall.

Where are my fellow #deaf and/or #disabled #academics? Would love a chat about what it’s going to mean to us in 2025 and beyond.
A deserted tan sand beach with one set of footprints, with a blue expanse of water beyond. There’s a dark smudge on the horizon, the eastern tip of Long Island, NY.

A white middle aged woman is sitting on a train, smiling at the camera. She has long brown hair and wears glasses with a red and white frame. She is dressed in a white shirt and a teal puffer jacket. The background shows a window with a view of a brick building outside.

So, what are we doing as #socialwork folks to maintain our focus on #intersectionality during the next 4 years? How are we going to mobilize? #Disability community members, I’m asking y’all as well. Random pet pic for smiles.
