Advice from someone who cares/thinks a lot about effective messaging?

Don't use the acronym. Say the words "diversity, equity, and inclusion." Slowly and with emphasis.

Every time.

Don't let them hide their opposition to these basic, common sense, and popular ideas behind an acronym.

Kinda breathtaking really. I’m not going to judge how a woman who just lost her partner should act. My opinion is of no consequence in that regard.

What is truly awful is that the Trump folks can’t bring themselves to offer condolences and Trump went golfing instead.

The Voyager space probes are so good they make me cry. They're such pure expressions of humanities best traits; perseverance, curiosity, and hope for the future. They're our immortal children extending a message of peace into the universe on an undending mission of discovery.

Today is the 250th anniversary of the Boston Tea Party. I only learned *this year* that the Great Bengali Famine of 1770 was a precipitating factor in the protest, and so I collaborated with my historian colleague, Dr. Robert Martello, to share the globe-spanning story of colonialism and corporate power that we think should be much more widely known.
