The Trump administration is a rapid-fire, cluster-delivery spaghetti throwing machine. No one in the WH looks closely at any one noodle. The point is: once in a while, one sticks.

Anybody tracking the number of Trump/DOJ lawyers who’ve been disbarred over these types of shenanigans?

Aid cuts are devastating health services in Africa The sudden dismantling of USAID has led to more death and disease

Africa is headed for a mass casualty era as US aid for healthcare and food has been slashed. My NGO (KhamAid.org) trained village midwives in Tibet. Why didn’t USAID do more to build capacity when it had a chance? #Africa #hunger #HIV

China has a grave problem Forget huge tombsβ€”why not scatter your loved one’s ashes at sea?

The Chinese government is now paying incentives to people to use β€œecologicalβ€œ burial practices. They should issue back payments to Tibetans, who have been feeding remains of the deceased to vultures for centuries. #Tibet #skyburial

Don’t say β€œtied to.” That’s misleading. Say β€œcorrelates with.”

It helps if the man has sisters. Mine has three, so he’s thoroughly steeped in the female perspective.

Literally hundreds of Chinese people have called me ayi (auntie) even tho I’m not Chinese, far less their aunt. Literally hundreds of British people have called me β€œlove,” even though they were strangers. Please don’t make them stop.

A vote for Cuomo is a vote for naked female skin in public spaces. That’s what it boils down to: prurience.

Yes it’s important that the other side bear a portion of the burden. But it’s maybe too much to expect for some people who have burdens of their own, such as poor education or low levels of empathy.

Do you think the skill is teachable? I think some lessons could have helped me during my socially inept younger years.

When I was a member of DOE’s speakers bureau, a high school wanted to fly me to their city to speak to their students, but my agency wasn’t allowed to accept the free ticket. Ethics regulations.
