7/ So DROPLET TRANSMISSION is an error in the physical interpretation of an empirical observation... ... made and propagated by medical professionals, who do NOT study physics. We need more interdisciplinary research across medicine, public health, physics, engineering, etc.

Too many people think a little fear is a good thing in organizations. It isn't: 😱 Fear is the enemy of innovation & employee participation 🤝If you're civil, coworkers are 59% more likely to share info, employees work 71% harder, and health & well-being receive boosts, too!

Our game has a nonbinary mascot character, Samy. She's a fluffy samoyed and uses all pronouns. Sometimes Samy shares letters with players they can write back to. We didn't expect players to tell us they came out to Samy with letters before they told anyone else 😭

Yesterday I heard a woman talk about having JOMO instead of FOMO. The joy of missing out instead of the fear of missing out. Saying no to things and enjoying it so that you can have time to do things you want to do, focus on priorities, or just relax so that you don't burn out.

Nothing will ever threaten your kids more than climate change. And the guys who want to make climate change worse on purpose need to make sure you're angry about trans people, immigrants, CRT or anything else.

a pretty horrible chapter in our family history ended today not with a bang, but with a much anticipated whimper three months ago our eldest had a terrible mental health episode, the worst I had ever seen in 10 years of complex MH issues …

We’ve been made aware that a local govt candidate is circulating election material that misrepresents our position on something important. We wanted to clarify. Thank you to everyone who raised this with us – we’re glad you believe in informed debate too.
