Patriotism is supporting your country all the time and your government when it deserves it.

In a moment of peak irony, I found out about SCOTUS decision on the TikTok ban while on TikTok

Hear me out. A queer Nosferatu with Katya as the title role 💅

98% of businesses have gender identity and sexual orientation non-discrimination policies, up from 5% in 2002, report finds The Human Rights Campaign Foundation analyzed benefits at 1,449 companies, including 376 Fortune 500 companies.

Me while listening to pop hits: I don’t like whiskey or Diet Pepsi. Espresso? Finally a drink I can get on board with.

Remembering Henry Berg-Brousseau. His passion, humor, and unbreakable spirit remain with us forever. 💜

If you want to understand why healthcare pricing is horrific, the first thing to know is that our system puts 100% of the credit risk for deductibles, copays and co-insurance on hospitals and doctors. That's insane.

We have turned them into Sub Prime Lenders 🧵

I will always love elf for this campaign. Also reminding folks that openly lgbtq people occupy just 0.6% of Fortune 500 board seats
