Checked out my @thestorygraph.com stats for January. My three 5-stars were monster books. #Outlander was a reread but I did audio this time and fell more in love with my fictional book boyfriend Jamie Fraser hearing the pages brought to life! Jan. fav goes to Onyx Storm over KoA. Really tough call!

With all the BS going on with DEI programs, I want to share my joy that I was able to have my trans childβs name used in little league, not his birth certificate name. They told me they have a no discrimination policy. We live in Florida. There are still decent people π«Άπ»

These executive orders on banning federally funded entities from recognizing trans people or disallowing them from using the bathroom are not self-executing or immediately enforceable. They require formal rule making at a minimum. They are a scare tactic. Ignore and do not comply in advance.

Judy (Rusk) Schmidt on LinkedIn: Does DEI Matter in Your Job Hunt?
This might be a controversial take, but I believe we need to have the conversation around #DEI and how it impacts our #jobhunt as companies publicly scale backβ¦
Hot take? Have I shot myself in the foot of possible recruitment? Don't know but as an unemployed job hunter, I want DEI at my new workplace. And I think we should have conversation around whether it's important to job seekers! www.linkedin.com/posts/jlrusk...

My daughter who will open a snack and just drop the wrapper on the floor is scrapping up stickers off the floor and sweeping. Why? We are bunny sitting and I told her I have to clean the floor and create an exercise space for him. I want to keep this bunny π€£π€£
