People of America! Next Wednesday, all across the country let’s order from our favorite local restaurants! We can support the local economy and keep each other safe...I will be doing it! @JoeBiden’s inauguration will be a celebration of democracy, of longer tables! #WeThePeople

New favorite way to end a video call: invite anyone with a pet or a child or a great view nearby to share them on camera. Especially if we heard them throughout the call. Let's recognize our humanity folks. #WFH #wfhlife

Watching #gBETApitchnight w/ @imerciv & its app @mapinhood - a navigation map designed for pedestrians, not drivers, looking for safety/convenience & discover the city. My urban planner friends will love this & I could have used it when I tried to get around SF w/ a walking boot!

My Grandpa played for the Washington Redskins in the 1940s. A football injury led him to meet my Grandma in a hospital. So while I exist partially because of this team, the name never was the important part. Words matter. Bravo @Redskins nytimes.com/2020/07/13/sport…
Whether you've been on the streets or not, this list helps provide specific answers to the question: 'What can I do?' And we have much work to do. #educateyourself #DoTheWork #allyship #BlackLivesMatter
I want to be on the streets and can't. I'm high risk for COVID19 and can't take the chance. And there are many of us who can't either. A few years ago some dear ones and I wrote this, "26 ways to be in the struggle if you can't be in the streets." tinyurl.com/yad3aepl

Another part of my new #ShelterInPlace routine is to pick up trash during my daily #SocialDistancing walk.

Bonus: probably do a couple hundred squats in the process.
Buddy of mine was in quarantine and someone asked him how he was doing. He kindly reminded them that he was a math major @CarnegieMellon and therefore was well-prepared for staying inside for two weeks and surviving off of frozen waffles. #tartanlife
For my father's sake, as long as you get to 'T Formation' and hold the note, you can sing the beginning of 'Bear Down, Chicago Bears' too. @ChicagoBears #BearDown #WashYourHands

A chorus of 'Go Cubs Go' doesn't quite clock in at 20 seconds but one could always linger. @cubs #GoCubsGo #WashYourHands
