7 years. No matter how much time passes, it never gets easier to write these posts - you just figure out how to exist alongside them. It’s unconscionable that 7 years ago, while everyone celebrated love, someone in our community chose hate and stole 17 beautiful lives.

This was an important and insightful conversation and I’m grateful to Lois and Eric for sharing their work with us. You can tune in now on our website or Apple / Spotify podcasts. Free to listen! 🎧

FEMA has issued a guide on how to apply for federal aid if you've been impacted by the wildfires.

Aid may include money for food, water, baby formula, breastfeeding supplies, medication, or even with basic home repairs and personal property losses. www.huffpost.com/entry/southe...

If you’re also devastated by the California wildfires and want to help, please consider donating to the Pasadena Humane Society. They’ve received an influx of displaced animals (over 250 and growing) and need resources to take care of them. Every bit helps. 🐾give.pasadenahumane.org

The victims in Monday’s shooting in Madison have now been identified. Substitute teacher Erin West and freshman Rubi Vergara tragically were killed in the attack. Their names, faces, and stories are the only ones that should be shared, not their killer’s. #NoNotoriety

As more details have emerged, the count has been updated (again). It appears that two people (a student and teacher) were killed and 6 others were injured. The female shooter, also a student, died in the attack. No matter the number, countless lives changed forever today.
#BreakingNews Update: Latest numbers are 4 deceased (plus the shooter, a juvenile, who is deceased), 5 injured. We are just 9 days from Christmas, and five families will have empty seats around their holiday tables. Next press conference / update at 3:30 pm ET. #EndGunViolence
#BreakingNews out of WI. Initial reports are that 2 people have been killed (plus the shooter) and 7 others have been injured. These are preliminary numbers; updates will likely change these counts. Another community devastated by senseless gun violence.

Five years ago, our first paper from the lockdown drill study was accepted for publication. Since then, we’ve published 8 more papers and a book, became the go-to on this topic, and have worked tirelessly to help schools ensure students and staff are prepared without being scared. Still more to do…

I’m on a cross country flight (6 hours) and there is no TV on this plane. I know this is totally first world problems but what am I going to do for SIX HOURS with no entertainment? Hopefully there’s internet so I can stream the concert livestream. Send good thoughts.
