So who am I? I am one of the original resistance accounts from Twitter. We started a whole character team based on Star Trek and Star Wars in November 2016. I cannot believe that was 6 years ago. I have worked on various candidate digital campaigns #introductions

It can be intimidating joining a new SM platform.

We know- we’ve been there.

But there is also joy in exploring a new platform & meeting new people, even if you’re an introvert (like me!)

And I’m the richer for it.

Hey everyone, @Scottjohnson is the real deal! He makes cool stuff like art and comics and podcasts…. And so much! Glad to see him here. Give him a nice CoSo Howdy, wouldja?

Remember the Ice Bucket Challenge? Of course you do.

The West and Ukraine should be negotiating how quickly Putin can pull his troops out and how much he owes Ukraine in reparations full stop. These are the only negotiations we should be having with Russia.

I’m new here. Hey y’all 👋🏾

Matthew Dowd:
Today is Day of Liberation of Ukraine from Fascist Invaders, commemorating Ukraine’s defeat of Nazi Germany on this day in 1944. Let us honor the fallen from yesterday by standing up for democracy in Ukraine, America, and around the world.

Is there anything more disheartening than needing to take an acre of birch leaves when the oak leaves are just starting to turn yellow?
