Husky mom and academic in disaster communication. Somewhat public and deployable for natural disasters. What should I read up on?
Opinionated AF, and always learning.

The work day was full of meetings and productivity - an excellent way to spend a Tuesday.
My commutes were filled with entertainment from the mind of @marthawells.com (Emilie & the Sky World. Also in love with Murderbot)
My study time… I’ve basically been a squirrel on meth. #DoctoralStudentLife

Yup. I don't think many people realize that USPS provides service to addresses that every single private carrier in the country will refuse to deliver to. They even service addresses that are only accessible by boat! There's still a mule route!

As someone who talked with 200 people wanting to express their thoughts on an unpopular choice by my agency, the people who call are typically the most passionate.
It really freaks out elected officials to get calls. You can do it. But please don’t abuse the staffers. It’s probably an intern.

I recently reposted a former congressional staffer who said that when an issue got 20-30 calls it would get representatives freaked out and ready to do something. It takes less than you’d think, because so few people actually take that kind of action

To everyone in a similar scenario: the tactic my doctor's office has taught me is to ask, in writing, for:
1) the name, board specialty, and license number of the doctor making the determination the treatment was not medically necessary;

There is something about Thanksgiving that makes food taste just a little bit different.
For those that celebrate, may you have had a joyful day. For those that don’t, I hope that the next several weeks bring you opportunities for time with family and friends.
Happy Thanksgiving.

This cat loves her huskies. She actively invites them to chew on her head and nibble her belly.

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance. Each year, the trans community loses too many lives, especially trans women of color, to hate and violence.
More than ever, we must stand by our trans family and support them, hold space for them, and insist the scapegoating and targeting stop.

This feels like a useful time for my favorite soapbox: you need to spend some time understanding how to identify and combat propaganda and disinformation. The US is really, really susceptible to this tactic for many reasons, and it's a prime fascist technique.

There is something trancedental about an IKEA trip with your best friend. My step-teen was ranting about it today, and the lack of ability to choose your own needs.
This store, I told her, is about the journey, not the destination. (Yes, it’s also about rampant consumerism)
