#ConsiderThis : Just 20 countries produce 80 percent of the world's carbon emissions. And a "tipping point" is only a few years away. The world has until 2030 to drop emissions 45 percent. But it's not looking good. https://t.co/H0fCjsVA0U

What happens when we want to undertake a journey, but a government-mandated intervention delays it, because, they say, it serves the greater good? Is that an infringement on our rights?

What planet is European Handball Federation on? Norway's women's beach handball team were fined for wearing shorts, not bikini bottoms in Euro 2021 tournament. Male players can wear shorts. Absurd to require women athletes to wear revealing attire @EHFEURO

The European Handball Federation requires women who play the sport to wear bikini bottoms. The Norwegian team chose to wear shorts, like the men are allowed to do.

In my work I distinguish between four Cs: Capacity (talent) Competence (learned skills) Creativity (putting into existence divergent ideas and products) Commitment (fully engaged in a valued goal) These four are not always aligned, but when they are, amazing things can happen.

Thank you! I would be nowhere without the women whose footsteps I dance in. While reciting my poem, I wore a ring with a caged bird—a gift from @Oprah for the occasion , to symbolize Maya Angelou, a previous inaugural poet. Here’s to the women who have climbed my hills before.
I have never been prouder to see another young woman rise! Brava Brava, @TheAmandaGorman! Maya Angelou is cheering—and so am I.
