Because of my job, I’m speaking to a lot of people opposed to vaccination requirements at work. One argument I hear is, well, vaccinated people can get COVID too. Statistically, that’s like saying sober people get in car accidents too, so there’s nothing wrong if I drive drunk.

"Neuroscientists [had] tended to view attachment theory as [merely] suggestive and thought-provoking work within the “soft science” of psychology....In 1998, images from Romanian orphanages changed the course of the study of attachment." Note: ONLY 1998. theatlantic.com/magazine/arc…

I keep retweeting every one of these positive moments, because they generate hope -- and that is the vantage point from which to fight fear & injustice. Hope is what helps you keep going.

We shouldn't have to still be dealing with hatred and violence. We all need to ensure that we say their names. There is never an excuse for racism or inequality. WE ARE ALL HUMAN
