OK, Twitter hiatus commencing (again)… too stressful, too much of a time suck. If I ever go back, any folks I want to follow will go straight into Feedbin.

This is Zoey’s fifth year playing youth/girls hockey and my second as a volunteer. I’m so glad she has role models like Kendall Coyne and the Buffalo Beauts to look up to every time she steps on the ice.
Thanks to everyone who shared the “subscribe to YouTube” in RSS tips over the last few days. So amazing.

Between this and climate change, the only moral and logical choice is a Green New Deal. Any argument against is simply (short-term fossil fuel industry) profits over people.

Such a good conversation.
Sanders is a nice guy for sure, but he can’t do the organizing we need to do (see below). It’s not something you can delegate.
Not sure how Dave came to this view on Sanders (he did mention his age and the fact that he doesn’t have apps on his phone), but Bernie’s campaign epitomizes grassroots, democratic organizing. The Intercept had an article on his campaign app and that app is translating into volunteers and donors at record numbers. It’s a big part of why I donated to his campaign. Of course, Sanders may waste all of this like Obama did, but I am willing to take that risk.
Couple firsts for me this past week: Made my first donation to a presidential campaign and did my first Patreon. (Bernie and the Do By Friday podcast, if you are interested.)
