This is so powerful. It shows the power we to make a situation, a person or a team's life better or worse by the way we respond or react. It doesn't cost to be kind and supportive. Being mean and destructive impacts everyone negatively, not just the intended victim.

Harriet Tubman #quilt by my Mom, Vera P. Hall, who makes quilts celebrating Black people who fought for their own freedom. This seems to be the crowd favorite of the “We Didn’t Wait for Freedom” series. Happy #Juneteenth #quilting

Colorful quilt of a nighttime scene with Harriet Tubman in an orange jacket and purple dress carrying a rifle. She is leading other figures who walk behind her.

State assisted suicide passed with a majority of just 23 votes.

I voted against. I dont feel that this bill is fit for purpose. A very somber mood for many.

🚨 We did it — we’re changing the law!

So happy to say, on #InternationalNursesDay, that the Labour Government is adopting my Bill to legally protect the job title ‘Nurse’. 🥳

It will keep patients safe & ensure respect for the profession. Huge congrats #protectnurse👏🏾

For something different. Alaska mushrooms! When I moved to AK over 15 years ago one of the first things I became fascinated with were the mushroom. I'm not an expert at naming them (I'm learning), but I have expert skills in laying on my belly to photograph them. Pro tip, wear rain gear.
