I join Black women around the country who are sending all of our #BlackGirlMagic reserves to Coco Gauff. We are rooting for you sis!

Wow. Elon Musk has once again managed to get rid of most of the reason I even get on to Twitter in the first place. This article details why I will be on even less than I currently am. You can no longer see the headline on this (another Muskie innovation.) washingtonpost.com/technology/202…

Shout out to Susan Cascino, the Zero Waste Director Environment Boston who is retiring after 29 years of service to City of Boston. She has been a trailblazer for recycling, composting and all things green.

We have an Tesla. For the first 3 yrs of lease we had a good experience. Since they moved to Santander Bank US it has been a nightmare. Automatic payments haven't work- the payment website has glitches. I can't get a human. My credit score has been affected - it is a nightmare.

Kudos to The Washington Post for covering the drama in their newsroom. I became a subscriber under Buzbe. Now I wonder if the paper is moving in the direction that will make me want to renew my subscription in August? I am cautiously skeptical .... washingtonpost.com/style/media/20…

Glad to see that the airline I fly the most, Delta , is paying the best, but these salaries don't allow you to live in many of the cities that flight attendants are flying out of - wapo.st/3Mh4T5s As a passanger I feel like I need to advocate. Any suggestions?

I read and hear so much about what is not working in education - thankful for this story that shows both the power of hip hop and a place where things are working! nytimes.com/2024/08/23/boo…

Just watched a great video of the The String Queens and I thought shonda rhimes should have them play during an episode of Bridgerton. She may have already had the idea but I thought I would put it out there!

Ever wake up feeling like you are starting without enough charge in your battery to get through the day? That’s me today. The state of the world is exhausting. My prayer - for grace to make up the difference…….

Found this article in The Washington Post quite illuminating. Wondering what will happen to this kind of coverage under the new directive from Jeff Bezos Running a little experiment to see how the X algorithm share this vs. BlueSky. wapo.st/3QFT0rJ

My thoughts on daylight savings - I love it in the fall when I get an extra hour but this spring gut punch is tough. I'm just saying......

I was one of the faith leaders who opened with prayer at the State of the City in Boston. Our city has been targeted by Washington. My prayer was that we would continue to see God in the face of our neighbors. Check out the full prayer on my Substack - open.substack.com/pub/revmariama…

Grateful to the local craft collective in Concord, NH for this reminder of what we are all called to as people of conscience in these times.

Jesus tells us what it means to embrace him in Matthew 25:31-46. As our Senators make decisions about how to spend our national resources I urge them to use his standard in their decision making, especially if they are seeking the eternal life that he speaks of. #EmbraceJesus

I ended my subscription to the The Washington Post when Jeff Bezos announced changes to the editorial approach that basically was "pro-billionaire." But it seems like it has mostly been the same. To other folks that read WaPo - what do you think? Has the bias increased?
