Did you know?

In 1968, 24 Black men in Pittsburgh revolutionized emergency medicine.

The Freedom House Ambulance Service was established to provide emergency medical care to underserved Black neighborhoods—creating the world’s first paramedics.

The USA has had two major plane crashes in the last 4 days.

The USA had previously not suffered a major plane crash for 16 years.

‘DEI’ programs have existed for decades.

So what was it that changed in the last 14 days or so to suddenly cause so many crashes?

I’ve felt so overwhelmed the past few days, more than before. The reality of what’s happening is really sinking in and I’m scared for the future of our country.

Sick again and spending the weekend in bed. Getting a rolling tv stand was a great decision.

The goal is to overwhelm us so we give up. Don't do that!

I am done reacting to every little chaotic thing this administration does. They want our attention, confusion and fear and they CANNOT have it. I am filling my life with peace, joy and so much work. Resistance is putting yourself and your community first.

I managed to stay away from the news all day as intended. Just got "caught up." 😵‍💫

Weird that we have to say this, but the government doesn’t get to decide what gender a person is.

The TikTok algorithm was so powerful because, unlike any other app, IT SHOWED YOU EXACTLY WHAT YOU WANTED, sometimes before you knew.More importantly, it reminded you that you aren’t alone

If you weren’t on the app, that’s totally fine

But if you never used it & are
belittling it today, that’s not

The first book I read in 2025,
The Great Believers - Rebecca Makkai.

This year my reading goal isn’t a number of books but to read every day for a minimum of one hour. It was really nice to dig into a book rather than just trying to rush through it to add to a list.

I don't remember anyone ever using tiktok to go in and slaughter school children. They banned tiktok before they banned assault rifles.

TikTok played a dangerous game with Donald Trump.

We don't know what the future holds for the app, but I for one will not forget the past 24 hours.

I'm not leaving TikTok. Nor should you. Just be mindful.

Most people on TikTok did not fall for Donald Trump’s stunt. They aren’t praising him at all in fact.

I don't think we're prepared for just how stupid the next 4 years are going to be. Horrifying and stupid at the same time.

As much as I’m glad TikTok is back online—I need a beat. The best part is the ability to read isn’t going anywhere.

It feels like we’re all just pieces in a game and our government is playing with us.

Dump loves chaos and he’s great at creating it. I’m dreading the next four years. Every day, there’s another insane headline about Dump. I’m already tired.

It’s clear we crave community that’s a huge reason the TikTok ban was so jarring. It motivates me to seek in person community more.

It was never just another app.

It was Community.
It was Knowledge and News.
It was Nostalgia.
It was Entertainment.
It was Different.
It was Connection.

And yet we know that #booklovers will always find each other ❤️‍🩹🫶🏻

We were going to meet a dog today in hopes of adopting her. She had to be put down last night because of health issues. She’d only been there less than a week. Owner surrender and heart worm positive. We are 💔 she spent her last few days in a shelter. Sweet Zoey girl crossed the 🌈 bridge. 😭
