BREAKING: Gen Z and young Millennials under 30 voted at such a high level and skewed for Dems so much we canceled out every voter over age 65 across the US house races.

I think about this poem a lot. poetryfoundation.org/poems/9…
We Lived Happily During the War By Ilya Kaminsky And when they bombed other people’s houses, we protested but not enough, we opposed them but not enough. I was in my bed, around my bed America was falling: invisible house by invisible house by invisible house. I took a chair outside and watched the sun. In the sixth month of a disastrous reign in the house of money in the street of money in the city of money in the country of money, our great country of money, we (forgive us) lived happily during the war.

The people telling you banning guns won’t make them go away are trying to ban abortion.

If I didn’t know better, I’d say books about racism and the lgbt folks are not the biggest threat to school kids.

It’s May. Honor, celebrate, highlight, befriend, study, reflect on, or just enjoy the fullness, humanity, and heritage of Asian Americans, Pacific Islanders, and Native Hawaiians. Join us in the enormous tent of Asian America. It’s a beautiful, diverse and cool family.

The most insidious form of oppression in the United States is believing that other people’s perceptions of you should dictate how you perceive yourself.

Hire junior devs. Then support them. Mentor them. Pair with them. Show them that it's ok to ask questions. Show them you don't know everything. Congratulate them on their first PR. Give helpful feedback. Before you know it your team will have one more awesome senior dev ✨

I TALK LIKE A RIVER + SWEEP A child delights in a crisp fall day w her cousins until a wheeze catches in her throat, turning her breath into a whistle. Inside she uses her inhaler & escapes into her imagination. Soon her cousins join her in imaginative play #PBPitch #OWN #DIS #L

My dad caught me smoking weed in high school and part of my punishment was that I had to watch the super bowl with him.
