Happy 72nd Birthday to Ruby Bridges, who at the age of 6 desegregated the New Orleans public schools.
She’s younger than 30 senators and our last two presidents—and only 7 years older than Barack Obama.
The past isn’t past.

What’s it called when you’re reading a book that’s not particularly good, but not bad? I’m gonna finish it but I’m not really enjoying it. It’s like eating fast food. Is there a word? Help me #BookSky.

I’m FINALLY seeing Coyote vs Acme tonight and my Xennial Roger Rabbit-loving soul is so excited I can hardly stand it.

The past month has been rough. I hope September is gentler.

2. moved father to assisted living, and now his primary caregiver
3. cat got really sick, almost lost him
4. I got e coli, probably from this garbage food safety under this administration
Be gentle, folks.

Come hang out with me in Orlando! I'll be speaking with my team on a panel about aligning stakeholders, workshopping competing goals, and focusing on the small-step strategies that make your web goals possible. (You don't have to go big or go home!)

my brain, in a nutshell. thanks, adhd.
I just want like a year off from my eight million day jobs to actually dig in on this project and give it all the best parts of myself and I'm so resentful that this is simply not an option and instead I am forced to cram it in through fits and starts while my brain feels like a pudding.

Listen, I’m not saying things are okay right now. But I am saying that reading in bed while watching Field of Dreams at low volume is slightly healing *something* in my soul.
