Have you voted? Our co-directors @katy_milkman and @angeladuckw were at the polls in #Philly bright and early this morning to cast their ballots. Don’t forget to cast your #vote, too!

After I called @angeladuckw to make sure she had a voting plan, we decided we'd team up to nudge a friend to vote. Who better to nudge than the king of nudges himself, @R_Thaler. 👀Good news: he made a voting plan and executed. Nudge your friends, too: didmyfriendsvote.org

You know what your @SfNtweets experience is probably missing, an opportunity to meet your queer colleagues and allies. Happening at 6:45 PM in room N138 is the LGBTQIA2S+ mixer. Come for the chips and drinks and stay for the social connections!!!
