Great great great show. We need your voice, Kavitha. @kavitha
Jumping on @npr @1a with @DrLindseyDarvin for the full hour to talk about the future of women's sports after this year's milestone #MarchMadness. Tune in at 10am ET!
Wanna know what makes @CaitlinClark22 tick?
Read this guy who works at the Des Moines Register:
@ChadLeistikow
But start with this wonderful story he wrote two years ago when he was a student journo at @hawkcentral hawkcentral.com/story/sports…
Thoughts from @LZGranderson on the Montgomery brawl. "That's not me" is not good enough. We should ask ourselves what WOULD we do, not distance ourselves from the whole thing.

Great story. I can't stop thinking about how great it must have felt when this young man turned love into tacos. Add 'resourceful' to that tool kit, buddy.
You can probably relate:
A mom who had another 3 hrs of work told her hungry son, 11, she couldn't make dinner. She felt guilty. Figured he'd eat cereal.
Instead he made delicious tacos for both of them.
Kids can solve problems when we let them.

Can't remember where I heard it last week @FreeRangeKids, but someone was talking about "the dignity of risk" and it made me think of your great message at @LetGrowOrg Let's give kids the dignity of ... whale(-watching), exploring life, having fun. The dignity of taking risks.
From #FalmouthLiving mag. Diary of 13 yo in 1800s:
"At last [my parents] gave their consent and O! Happy hour I could scarce believe it! Farewell school! Farewell home! Farewell all! I was to be a sailor!"
Went off whaling.
TODAY: I've met 13 yos not allowed to cut own meat.
What a fun time in those early days. It's my 15th Twitter anniversary and I guess my 1-day X day.
Do you remember when you joined Twitter? I do! #MyTwitterAnniversary

Fourth of July. Sometimes it's a little difficult to love a place where people don't love you back. But this is my country too. Reclaiming our values starts with standing up for them — tolerance, diversity, respect for the rule of law, freedom of speech, and the press. #July4th

Nothing, NOTHING that anyone says or does can ever outweigh the truth I know in my heart, the truth I've lived for the last six years. Society can do whatever it wants, but I will never go back in the closet. I am a happy, proud, trans woman. Deal with it. Happy Pride, y'all /end

To recap: Supreme Court justices nominated by a president who lost the popular vote and confirmed by Senators representing far less than half the country have eliminated abortion rights, green-lighted anti-LGBTQ discrimination, and ended affirmative action.
In one year.

Really bad idea.
