I made this joke; too few people got it. A guy said we shouldn’t be walking & playing Pokémon Go. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the blanket of the very freedom that I provide and then questions the manner in which I provide it.

I’m “I got tendinitis from playing Pokémon Go too hard” years old. Which, I admit is very confusing. Am I 13 or 48? Could go either way.

I have a lot of funny thoughts in my head. Do I just annoy my husband with them or post them here where no one sees them? I miss twitter.

There will be a day when I can listen to Eldest Daughter and not cry. Today is not that day.

Deactivated Facebook for a while. I cleaned up my friend list but I still see hate from my friends’ friends posts and I just cannot.

Treasure the people who root for you.

I’ve dedicated my career to service — first as a CIA Case Officer and federal law enforcement officer, then as a Member of Congress. Now, I’m running for Governor to continue serving Virginia — because you deserve a leader who will always put our Commonwealth first.

New boundary: this oldest daughter is going to be answering all Googleable questions from her family with "Did you Google it?"

Starbucks’ CEO made 6,666x more than the company's median employee in 2024. This was the widest CEO-to-Worker pay gap in the entire S&P 500. Remember this before you order your next pumpkin spice latte.

In the boarding lane for my sixth trip since June 22 and my 36th flight this year. Hoping to swing by Harvard while sightseeing today!

Psyched to get to use the Delta lounge at Logan this week.

The post office is a hellmouth. I will not be taking any questions.

My new hyper fixation is jigsaw puzzles. Send help. Or puzzles.

My favorite work days are the ones where I have giant chunks of time to ponder my client’s problems and let my mind just flow with ideas. 🌊

Me: (Looking at pictures from my 30th class reunion) These people are old!! Well, shoot.

I spent most of today working and weirdly enjoyed it the whole time. I guess it’s because I have the best boss ever.

If my mind racing counted toward my step total, I’d hit my daily goal by 12:04 a.m.

If you think a golden ballroom is more important than childhood cancer research… I have nothing left to say to you. Please unfollow me. #pediatriccancer #cancermom

I’m probably four stomach flus from my goal weight but yesterday I was five so that’s something.

It’s sort of weird how a bunch of wolves thousands of years ago were like “You know what? Yeah! I’m down for domestication.” And all the rest of the wolves missed their chance.

I blame my elevens on working in higher ed for 20 years.

In marketing, emotion without action is wasted potential.

Me husband: What do you want for your birthday? Me: (without hesitation) Three dozen turtles.

On Wednesday, I said goodbye to my sunshine girl and my best friend after 16.5 years. Snuggle your furry friends a little tighter. The clock ticks too fast. The time is too short. I will always love you, Maeby Mae. Until we meet again.

I don’t understand the evolutionary advantage of grief.

I’ve never had more issues with missing crew than when I fly American.

Why has no one told me how great it is to take the L from the airport to downtown Chicago. $5 versus $100 Uber? 50 minutes versus 80? And it dropped me off at a hotel in restaurant with this amazing view.

July's Solve Session is announced! Learn how to build a custom GPT! This is especially designed for folks who work in higher ed marketing. zoom.us/meeting/regi...

Shoutout to all the other oldest daughters who were told they “have to be a role model” for their younger siblings. How’s your anxiety today?

Content? Meh. 😒 Storytelling? Yes! 🥳 www.enrollify.org/episodes/ep-...

Sometimes I think about leaving typos in my newsletter so people know I wrote it and not ChatGPT.

I made my medallion status and thought of you @lizgross144.bsky.social

I wish I had the confidence and lack of germophobia of the kind of person who wears open-toed shoes on a plane.

I just saw a higher ed job post offering $38K. Can we not? That's not livable for anyone.

Always a pleasure to reconnect with @higheredcmo.bsky.social. If you haven’t grabbed her new book yet, you should.

Me existing in the world: I think [fill in the name of literally anyone I know] is mad at me.

Look. I made my appointment. You don’t need me to confirm it multiple times. Once. Once is the number of times I will confirm. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

New Higher Voltage episode⚡ @kctyler2.bsky.social talks with @higheredcmo.bsky.social about her new book, 𝘏𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘖𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘏𝘺𝘱𝘦: 𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘏𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘌𝘥 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘬𝘦𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘌𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘺, and how empathy, authenticity, and strategy can transform higher ed marketing—and student outcomes. voltedu.com/podcast/hear...

Do mice think bats are angels?

There are so many ways to crochet wrong. And apparently I am going to find all of them.

"These are kids who will never pay taxes..." As if that's the value of a human being.

If every NCAA D1 school announced that there will be no basketball or football until the admin backs off higher Ed, the attacks would stop tomorrow.

My love language is memes.

Every single person who supervises someone in higher ed needs to listen to @higheredcmo.bsky.social's podcast episode on leadership and what we all deserve. pca.st/episode/5a15...

If anyone could say it, it was Harvard. Bravo! Now brace yourselves. www.harvard.edu/president/ne...
