People can grow, people can change. Wounds can heal, heartaches can quell. We can evolve emotionally, and it behooves us to recognize the work others put in to become better and to recognize the efforts they make
Treat others as you wish to be treated. Kindness and empathy can never go wrong

I'm seeing discussion today about library staff doing more with less.
This has been happening long enough that many library workers (including myself) feel like we're slacking in any moment we're not drowning.
It's not right and we have to be intentional about addressing that.

When you demonize and mistreat the immigrant, the poor, the starving, and the marginalized, I'm not interested in hearing about your religious beliefs.
You've already shown me what they are by how you're demonizing and mistreating the immigrant, the poor, the starving, and the marginalized.

Journalism and teaching are some of the most valuable yet thankless jobs in our society. I want to thank everyone who wakes up in the morning excited to teach others or inform their fellow humans for terrible pay.

It doesn’t “piss me off,” but straight advocacy being passed off and accepted as journalism just because the viewer agrees with the viewpoint is a huge part of why we are here now. That makes me sad.

When I say, “I love that for you!” That isn’t me being shady at ALL. That’s me saying I see who you are, and I think that whatever is happening is in alignment with YOU. So I love that it’s happening in general, but *especially* for *YOU*
I wonder how many people have misinterpreted that. 😵💫

Did you know that if you actively CHOOSE to do difficult things, discomfort and hardship actually gets a little bit easier? Your baseline for comfort will rise and you will be able to handle more stress.

I don’t think people truly appreciate how much trauma and poverty change your brain. If you’ve spent your entire life in survival mode, you will not react to small inconveniences the way someone else does who has resources and a support system.

You will never be able to make "data driven" decisions until you realize just how much your decisions are driven by emotions: fear of missing out, defensiveness of your favorite idea, apprehension over something unusual.
That's because there's no such thing as "the data" - only interpretations.
