Easily one of the most rewarding days ever at my job, getting to put my picture-hanging skills to work!
Sometimes a what you thought was a three bedroom is actually two, thank you to everyone from the Legal Services Corporation who came out this Monday and who helped fit 6 beds into this tiny two bedroom! #refugees #refugeeswelcome #withrefugees #homesnotborders #volunteers

Replying to @elmo
Dear Elmo, it was kind of you to check in on all your friends this week. I have been busy making a lot of marmalade. How are you doing?

Proud of my oldest for participating in this and his teachers for their support. ❤️
I’d guess more than a hundred students have walked out of HB Woodlawn in Arlington in protest of a proposed state policy restricting trans rights. These students join the 1000+ who’ve walked out across Virginia so far today.
Today’s character building: boys saw a fav author @SutherlandTui at the @librarycongress #natbookfest and waited in line 2 hours only to have line cut off just ahead of us. Sent home with no autographs. There were tears. But boys were champs anyway. ❤️

Serena Williams has been a professional tennis player for more than 65 percent of her life. Her career lasted 26 years, 10 months and six days. Her first match. Her last.

It’s been a rough lead up to school and first few days in our home. Hopefully things will improve soon as the routine settles in. Summer’s inconsistency and lack of routine was a roller coaster of emotional dysregulation.

This is the extended version of our celebration of @SerenaWilliams. She has not only shown us how to win, but how to love exactly who you are. We are celebrating Serena by showing how far self-love took her and how the world followed suit. This is for Serena, with ❤️.

Imagine being more mad at the word motherfucker than the actual motherfucker who laughed about a mass school shooting.
Voters like to see a sense of authenticity in candidates, especially in Texas. But cursing and vulgar language in front of children and the elderly more often than not crosses the line. n.pr/3pb6WfI

Yup. This.
I know that Trump admininstration witnesses are the whole reason the hearings work, but it's maddening to hear that THIS was their breaking point, after four years of criminality & corruption (HEY, IT FELT LIKE 8!)
Had a great nap in the MRI machine just now! #momlife #bustedfoot

This breaks my heart. But I’m grateful for churches like this.
We had anti abortion and anti LGTBQ protesters shouting at members walking in our church today. “Repent” they said. It was all so weird and sad. And I am proud of my brave church for just moving along. We worshipped. We sang. We loved.

It’s heartbreaking how many women are having to share their most nightmarish memories to convince people that we need to keep legal abortions available. inquirer.com/opinion/comment…

"Stay angry, little Meg," Mrs Whatsit whispered. "You will need all your anger now."
Breaking News: The Supreme Court overruled Roe v. Wade, eliminating the constitutional right to abortion in a decision that will lead to all but total bans on the procedure in about half of the U.S. Chief Justice John Roberts voted with the majority. nyti.ms/39SYQnZ

Please don’t cut trans men and nonbinary people out of the conversation today. This is not just a women’s rights issue, anyone who can get pregnant is affected.

It takes a monster to kill children. But to watch monsters kill children again and again and do nothing isn’t just insanity—it’s inhumanity.
