We need to be loud with our support, militant with our empathy,
extreme with our love & kindness.

Stand against the lies, the fascism, and the hate.

Making my annual request to @SlackHQ to add a soft mention. Would love to be able to do something like ~SlackHQ which only goes to mentions but does not ping. Great for ensuring offline/heads-down members are not disturbed but still get the low priority message.

Also, bulk emoji import/transfer. Going to a new channel/team would be great to be able to quickly and efficiently get geared up emoji wise. 🙂

If your political party tells you to jump off a bridge... wait wait.. step away from the bridge!

Work to help & inform the ignorant. The many who were mislead & lied to. Many who didn't know better. They're not our enemies.

However, there are plenty who cheered hate. Who relished hate & used it.

Do not compromise to hate. Do not work with hate. Do not allow hate.

I know this first hand. My nana thought drumpf was a good thing. All she knew was she got a relief check with his name on it.

She's hispanic & doesn't watch Fox news or anything. Mom & i had to point out that help came IN SPITE of drumpf, not bc of him.

For my sanity, i took time away from the vitriol. Today is too joyous tho. A huge relief. Enjoy this moment.

Yet, don't forget the lessons from these past 4 years. We MJST fight early & quickly. Disease & hate are always in the wings waiting for us to let our guard down.

Do the "all lives matter" folks look at check engine light and think, all parts matter!
Black lives matter is a call to fix a serious issue in our system. America's check engine light is flashing! #BlackLivesMatter

Recently sent out an email in support of #BlackLivesMatter

Sometimes, leaders have to care more for their people than their people care for themselves.

Still think @SlackHQ should add a soft mention (~). Pinged them years ago w/ this, hoping they reconsider.
Idea: ~someone messages w/o disruption. Would be great to create msgs to ppl with low urgency. Combined with channel of your soft mentions would be 👌.

Just had "carne" asada tacos & a torta from Taqueria Vegiee SD. Really great food, #vegan or otherwise. Thanks for the hot tip @pablostanley!

Final #roast of my Rwanda, Ethiopia, Honduras. It was a fun 60#'s. Still never got this Ethiopia wrangled though. 😭 I'll use these tears in my morning ☕️ o' #coffee.

Now, to figure out what greens to order next!

A bit hot to be #roasting, but #coffee wasn't having my complaints!

Implemented #inboxzero for my work email and it felt pretty good. Gonna do it for my main account now. 1 down, only about 28k to go 😱

This happened this past week. 🎉

So excited about my new adventure with @InVisionAppEng @InVisionApp
