Got shots for flu, covid, and walking pneumonia yesterday. Have a mammogram and dentist appt scheduled for today. Not mad about the pain….just grateful I have affordable healthcare for prevention, early detection, and treatment
That’s what everyone deserves

Just finished #CilkasJourney by #HeatherMorris, author of #TheTattooistOfAuschwitz
A hard but important story. The atrocities people are capable of…and the small heroic actions we can also choose, even in the midst of moral ambiguity and overwhelming horror

Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women.
More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications.
I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

My daughter @callieanderson.bsky.social asked to borrow my copy of #WomenRaceAndClass by #AngelaDavis - a book that opened my eyes and inspired me back in the 90s.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.
18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.
We made this website to tell our story:

As your weird /cool aunt, I just want to encourage you to be yourself and have fun. Life is short, most people aren’t even paying attention to you, so be bright. Try and beat back your fear and make wonderful things, even if they make you embarrassed. Try unusual things. And be as kind as possible.
