Vengeance only multiplies the darkness.

Real LOVE goes beyond mere feelings; it is a transformative force that inspires us to continually become more than we are at this moment.

If you feel like you've arrived, you're doing it wrong. Keep going! ❤️‍🩹

MLK Day 2026 Dr. King has always been one of my heroes, and I've often wondered what he would think about where we are. Please don't let this be another quote you quickly read and then forget. Let it truly sink in. Sit with it. Get to know it. Question the parts of your life it challenges. "Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only LOVE can do that." — Martin Luther King, Jr.

Only LOVE can do that. 🤟

I will never stop posting this quote:

“Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply.”
— Stephen R. Covey

We should always strive to truly listen to each other. It’s just one of the ways we make the world a better place. 💌

“We honor her memory by living her values: rejecting hate and choosing compassion, turning away from fear and pursuing peace, refusing division and knowing we must come together to build a world where we all come home safe to the people we love.”
— Becca Good, wife of Renee Nicole Macklin Good

Every single day is an opportunity to shrink our egos and expand our hearts.

If we catch ourselves judging or noticing what separates us, we must stop and look for what connects us.

We are loved! 🤟

Sounds like this could be useful. 🤖

I’m looking forward to a future where we celebrate our unique perspectives, acknowledging that even in similar situations, our diverse reactions are a strength, not a weakness. 🫶

If I died tonight, this would be my last request of you, dear friends:

Please break down your walls and expand the boundaries of your hearts. You’ll never regret doing so. I promise.

Quote on a hat: Surround yourself with people who fight for you in rooms you aren't in.

May we all get better at fighting for each other in 2026! 🫶

Hang in there. I’ll be hanging in there with you. ❤️‍🩹

I’ll always be grateful for Carrie. She had the courage to speak up and bring light to the realities of mental health struggles. ❤️‍🩹

Thinking of all the beautiful souls I’ve had the privilege to know in this lifetime — even those no longer walking beside me. Grateful, always.

A USB-C iPod Classic dupe now exists — but it won’t have all the files you lost when your 2006 Apple MP3 player gave up the ghost If Apple won't bring it back, someone else had to

Bringin' back a classic! Well, kind of... 🎧

The key is to take action.

Don't just sit around and dream about what could be.

Make it happen.

Confocal microscopy image of a juvenile sea star (Patiria miniata) viewed from the oral side. The animal has a five-armed, star-shaped body with a central nerve ring. The nervous system is labeled in green, forming radial nerve cords extending into each arm, and cell nuclei are labeled in red throughout the animal. The image appears against a black background and has a holiday-ornament-like appearance.

Felt a little festive at the microscope this morning for #FluorescenceFriday 🎄

Here’s the nervous system of a juvenile sea star ⭐️

Green = acetylated tubulin, red = nuclei

Happy holidays!

Why do we hear the same Christmas songs year after year? Hundreds of new Christmas songs are released every year, but each time December rolls around, the same small handful of classics races to the top of the charts. Will anything new ever break through?

Is your mind telling you to be anxious? 🧠

Just hold that anxiety gently. 🤲

Let it know everything will be all right. ✌️
