👏🏼👏🏼 Some of my favorite undergrad courses were English, Women’s Lit, Philosophy, Sociology, and Psychology. I also enjoyed my Science courses (RN). Out of all of these, Philosophy ranks #1. I had an excellent instructor and overall, thoroughly enjoyed this class.

A friend from the VA just sent this and asked me to share. PMDB is Prevention and Management of Disruptive Behavior in the workplace. THIS is the real war against women: being forced to say there are only 2 genders but not being allowed to mention 96% of violence is perpetrated by men.

Creepy thing happened today. Let me preface this with- I deactivated & deleted my X account after the election.
I used Siri to “call Mom” today. The call proceeded to go through & ring. While waiting for her to pick up, the X app opened on my cell phone and asked me to sign in. Sketchy

On my last trip to DC in 2015, photos taken of the MLK monument. Posting in honor of MLK Day. Today I celebrate MLK Day, honoring the life, legacy and values of a great man and leader.

Stop supporting big businesses. Shop local and/or small businesses. Give to businesses that align with your values. Link in article to online shop (make it grow). It’s NOT Amazon. Stop making the rich, richer. Time to be frugal.
Side note- update or get your passport.

This weekend, babysat my Cousins- ages 2.5 & 1.5 yrs old. Made it through intact (them too). Albeit very tired (me, not them). All day Saturday, overnight and today. It was joyful (and hilarious), and I’m exhausted. Childless and old/er. Shout out & applause to all Parents who do this on the daily 😎

Good morning ☀️

Two of the most awe inspiring statues in our country are women —Liberty and Justice, fundamental human rights.

Yet, women are being stripped of their rights and treated as chattel…
