Re-emerging on here to share: my team launched a thing! With some awesome partners! Shoutout to @GDSTeam, @CDS_GC, & TTS’s 10x team for laying the groundwork, and my amazing TTS Public Benefits Studio colleagues for making it happen! We’ll report back on how pilots go — wooo!
@USGSA is thrilled to announce @GSA_TTS' first group of partners to use Notify.gov: @NorfolkVA, @MontgomeryCoMD, & the states of #WI & #WA. The partners will use the text messaging service to help communicate benefit(s) info to the public.

ALT Black background with white and light blue letters that read, "Notify.gov, reach people where they are with government-powered text messages. At the bottom a telephone outlined in black with a blue screen that reads, "New text message." with black letters in a white box.
All of this, ASAP please. HT @aidanfeldman
Omg. 🔥 THREAD (ht @cydharrell) Seriously, WHEN are we going to realize that embracing more family-friendly work trajectories/schedules is good for HUMANITY, not to mention the goddamn economy?
Intensely frustrating read. A long soliloquy of (white) man’s angst about professional peak & decline, and not a whisper about gender? He uses the essay to urge 50-pluses to quit and Connect to Family. How do you suppose the family got there? 1/8

Decouple healthcare from employment & suddenly meaningful PT work is possible; periods of intense career focus & more family focus can *actually* align with the rhythms of individuals’ lives and minimize the (very real) cost of burnout and workforce dropout... the list goes on.

Going into the holiday weekend let’s honor the history - the intentionally less told history - of Memorial Day and how it was first organized by freed slaves in Charleston, SC.

It's rare an agency is willing to release an 18F assessment - major kudos to the Administrative Office of the Courts for taking an open stance!
This bodes well for the program. ☀️

We call it senseless violence but that’s wrong. The sense of the violence is crystal clear: it’s white supremacy. It’s that white men can’t control themselves so they try to control others.
