Fellow distance runners, make sure you get your colon cancer screening & let your doctor know if you notice any bleeding. If you’re under 45 you may need to screen sooner, even if fit & healthy. I’ve done 8 marathons & had 2 lesions removed at 45, despite being fit with no traditional risk factors.

In “I’m mostly here to enjoy myself” by Glynnis MacNicol she says: “Humility having a lowly opinion of oneself… is just another way to say be quiet, stop talking, take up less space, it’s just a hop skip and a syllable away from humiliation” and I can’t stop thinking about it

The National Guard is being sent into cities. White house "vetting" what's on display in museums. Scientific grants need to be signed off by a political figure. Legal immigrants are being detained without due process. Which part of this is "small government"?

Nazi Germany had the SS & gestapo, the US has ICE, FBI, & the national guard taking over cities that have not requested help or indicted any emergency. He is militarizing his personal vendettas against areas he hates because they are diverse & did not for him. This has to stop.

How many times will he deploy the National Guard to protect "tough white men" from being attacked? I lived in DC for ten years without any military protection. I walked late at night hundreds of times in heels and dresses. I held my own. Big Balls must have smaller balls than me.

First, remember what works in moments like this one.
First, REMEMBER WHAT WORKS.

In our Campaign Orientations we go over strategies that have worked for other movements throughout history. 

Those strategies are:

Do not obey in advance
Prioritize joy
Take up space
Be in solidarity
Organize

Even though I left my federal job in May, I apparently still have my federal health insurance. So, firing all those HR people probably isn’t saving all the money they thought - I bet they are paying a lot of health insurance for people no longer working there. Great job doge.
