Anyone else having delivery issues with @factormeals? I just received an update that my box was delivered (a day late) and it was NOT delivered. So I clicked on tracking and it appears that it's still in a town 45 minutes away. This is my first box and I'm already annoyed.

Over the last 2 days @Delta delayed two integral flights that kept my kid from getting home, rerouted him to the least convenient airport, & lost his bag. Now Rep says bag is going to an airport 4.5 hrs away. To say they've started his winter break crappy is an understatement.

"If you do not know how to put your phone on airplane mode, ask a small child. They can probably do it better than you can." 🤣😂 @Delta this flight attendant is going to keep me entertained.
Y'all Simone is taking care of her mental & physical health. If you are coming at her as if she owes you something, you are one of the reasons she is taking care of her mental & physical health. #BackOff

If you are proud of the fact that folks do what you say just because you are their boss and no one questions you out of fear of retaliation, you're basically an asshole.
Maybe one of the most important things I discussed on a panel today. Well that and how white supremacy shows up and nuances in disrupting it. Yeah that. RT @jorgeaflorimon: I am not defined by my profession. @joy_hoffman

To my cis-het friends & family, this is not the time to announce your allyship. Ally is not a label or badge of honor, a workshop, or a sticker. It should never be self-prescribed. Just do it and be it year round.

And I am SO FORTUNATE to have found YOU! RT @DoctorJonPaul: They say find you friends who will be there for you through the good and the bad. I’m so glad I found this one. I love you more than you could ever know @joy_hoffman. xitter.cf/DoctorJonPaul/status/1…

When is a good time to tell my kids that I used to take the batteries out of their noisy toys and tell them the toy was broken? I feel like this is the deception that could ruin us. #MomConfessions #ParentSurvival

I hope NASPA & ACPA will lead conversations around this. It's been happening for yrs but w the pandemic there has been a mass exodus - some not by choice but many very intentional exits to other industries. RT @josieahlquist: Student affairs sure is losing some good ones lately

And the gaslighting when setting boundaries... "You don't do this for the income" "If you care about students" "It's a growth opportunity" "People think you have an attitude" "You aren't a team player" RT @josieahlquist: Student affairs sure is losing some good ones lately

This is white supremacy watching the film, "Zero Sum Game." Written, produced, and directed by none other than white supremacy. Because white supremacy pits BIPOC and other oppressed communities against each other while it sits back and watches. I'm tired of this script.

Just purchased at @legendaryrootz for me & some friends bc THAT MESSAGE. We are all capable of doing harm to others, especially when we think and act through our privileged lenses & identities. We need to unlearn that sh*t to be better & evolved humans. legendaryrootz.com/search?ty…

If u graduated from Atari to Xbox, Walkman to Spotify, landline to cell phone, personal ads to swiping right, checks to Venmo, & other new ways of knowing, surely u can graduate your mind to understand that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s work went beyond quotes abt love & peace.

Cue organizational statements about MLK Jr. & diversity. Cue "Day of Service." Equity and just outcomes should be the ethos of your organization, not an annual statement or checklist program, event, class, training, hire, policy, etc.
The U.S. and this virus are like a bad co-parenting relationship with a child. We (the U.S.) are the parent who won't discipline our child while the other parent is trying to provide structure and boundaries. 1/4

When one parent role-modeled boundaries we sabotaged them because we wanted to be the fun parent. 3/4

We're mad and surprised that our virus child is being obnoxious and getting on our last nerve but won't take responsibility for our actions and circumstances. We need more discipline. But we have to do it together. 4/4
