My Starbucks is on strike today. I ended up spending the time I would’ve spent in line chatting with the organizer and wishing him good luck.

😁 I may or may not have just kicked off a training video with, “Hi. My name’s Matthew and my hair is on purpose.”

Hi, @help !

Since iOS app was updated a while ago, I have to change the settings on each post I make before I post it otherwise what I write goes to my test blog, which I don’t want it to do.

Is there a way to default to posting to my regular ol’ site and not the test site?

🫣 I’ll gladly jump on the Reddit replacement bandwagon but does it have to rhyme with the word “reddit”?

🚱 I don’t want to resort to buying and using multiple plastic water bottles a day, but my office building’s tap water is caca and my only refill option. They won’t purchase filtered water for state employees because it’s seen as a personal benefit. Horse feathers. I’ve said for 20 years now if your employees are thirsty you should give them a drink. And they still wonder why public service can’t retain top talent.

World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (15 June 2021) | communitymedicine4all

Elder abuse is an intentional act, or failure to act, by a caregiver or another person in a relationship involving an expectation of trust that causes harm to an adult 60 years and older. 

This blog post from 2021 has some good WHO infographics and facts. Maybe I’ll share them on my LinkedIn tomorrow.

❤️‍🩹 It’s elder abuse awareness month. Today my agency director is giving a training about it. It’s grim, it’s sad, and it’s more of a problem than anyone might guess. More info: https://www.cdc.gov/violenceprevention/elderabuse/fastfact.html

Work focus mode 🏳️‍🌈 😁

🙅‍♀️ I mean if you really think about it Whitney Houston’s first mistake was getting with a guy who’d shack up with someone named Susan in the first place #MyNameIsNotSusan #BecauseNobodyNamesKidsSusanAnymore

🤮 At the salon waiting for a haircut and they’re playing contemporary Christian country radio and I didn’t know that was a thing, and I wish it wasn’t a thing, and it’s maddening, and I’m >this< close to asking them to change it.

My first attempt at minimalistic iPhone screens. I removed all app icons because they were a disorganized mess and since I figured I usually search or Siri for them anyway. Pete (she/her/hers) is the centerpiece. I love the depth effect with her ear.
