Congratulations Abdul!!!! I can’t believe I know a Democratic nominee for Senate! Or that this picture was 11 years ago. The idea of Abdul being in the Senate advocating for public health and access to health care, especially at a time when RFKJ is in charge at HHS, is incredible to contemplate.
Kathleen Bachynski@bachynski.bsky.social · last mo.I don’t exactly have the power of an AOC endorsement, but I’ve known Abdul for quite some time and I would be thrilled to see him represent public health in the Senate. He was our class speaker when I graduated from undergrad (Go Blue!) and then I got to know him better when were both at Columbia.

Drowning is a leading cause of death for U.S. kids under 5. It can happen silently and in seconds. Assign a water watcher to keep eyes on kids in/near water at all times. Don't assume other adults or even lifeguards have eyes on your kid especially in crowded areas.

Social media is often described as fast-paced, but what if we thought about it as decision-heavy? Every day, social media professionals make judgements that influence trust, reputation, accessibility and relationships, with much of this work is invisible to others.

Sadly, it's not just billionaires who use ableist slurs. Many people who consider themselves to be allies seem to believe that as long as they're referring to a terrible person, insults related to their intellect, age, or some illness or disability are acceptable. They're not. #AbleismAwareness
