Gonna say that if nobody on your timeline is talking about the Win with Black Women call that brought 40,000 people together (most or all Black women) late Sunday, you probably need to broaden who you follow.

He just endorsed Kamala Harris, let’s go!
I was really worried this wouldn’t happen.

This ransomware attack on London hospitals is not getting enough attention IMO.
It’s disrupting blood transfusions and operations, and they are asking medical students to urgently donate blood.

Things that surprised me the last couple days in Germany:
*a lot of people thought I was German, approaching me to ask directions/other (I don’t know what since I don’t speak German!)
*the trains in Germany do not run on time. It was a running joke/comment among people about trains being late and I had several delays, including 1 that caused me to miss a connection & nearly my flight.
*Many people don’t speak English that well (I’m sure this depends on region/city).

Sunset over the clouds. Was hoping for sunset views landing in Barcelona, but flight delays so this instead.

Something I’ve noticed recently is that if I look down when I walk, I wind up in a worse mood, as I notice more trash, graffiti, etc.
If I look up, my mood instantly raises as I fixate on beautiful architecture and design and blue skies.

Went for a run this morning with a “friend” I made via Twitter 4-5 years ago but who I had never met in person! He is in Barcelona for work and we went for a run and got coffee. Very fun to “meet” someone it feels like I’ve known a long time. No picture together.

Only maybe a couple dozen hours a year you can catch a narrow street like this in Barcelona’s El Born bathed in sunlight.

@npub1c5c…644a that’s a good framing. I would also be afraid of exposure to falling but not heights. Flying in a plane doesn’t scare me. Obviously you could crash, but statistically, it is a very low risk. Me walking/climbing on edge of a cliff, falling is not such a low risk.

Longest run in almost 2 years. 💥
Fastest long run since March car crash 💥
Negative splits 🤯💥
Did acupuncture, fisio and a massage for my neck pain (car accident effects) this week. Worth it.

This problem is barely getting started. It will get much worse, and 99% of pornographic deepfakes/similar are directed at women.

When I moved to Valencia, I wanted an apt with a terrace and that I could walk to work (couldn’t walk to work & beach).
Very happy with that choice, but with move to Barcelona, top goal is being able to walk to beach. 4 miles to the beach is too far, says the girl from Iowa 😂
Sunset views 😍

I’m thrilled to announce that this week I am starting at Emergent as VP of Corporate Engagement, and I am particularly delighted to be able to remain in Spain & continue working on sustainability.
Emergent is a nonprofit engaging forest countries and the private sector, mobilizing finance to support emissions reductions in deforestation at the jurisdictional level, coordinating the LEAF Coalition.

This story seems humorous at first - an otter committing “larceny” stealing surfers’ boards. But it gets into the dangers of humans taking over part of wild animals’ natural habitats.

I don’t understand at all why some people are upset about Halle Bailey playing Ariel in The Little Mermaid.
Mermaids are fictional!!!
I’m a redhead, I’m excited to see her in the part. She has an incredible voice. White people are not underrepresented in movies. What a dumb uproar.

@npub1c5c…644a oh no, I hope you have a mild case and no lingering symptoms.
I got it in Jan 22 - high-risk but not immunocompromised, 3x vaxxed as was in a clinical trial, no Pavloxid - still got pneumonia and wasn’t back to pre-running speed/endurance until March 23 (then got in a car accident, wishing you the opposite of my health luck ☘️).
Feel better soon!

So my body seems to be feeding on itself since my car accident a few weeks ago - not great, don’t recommend! - hence a Reese’s milkshake for dinner.
Funny, I have never eaten at Five Guys in the U.S. but have gone a couple times in Valencia just for the Reese’s shake!
Also, look at the sign - endorsed by my former employer Newsday.
