Our @YMCAWorkWell Workplace Well-Being Report is officially live! This year, we did a deep dive on how employee well-being challenges in the nonprofit sector are impacting our people, our organizations, and our communities. It's time for change. ymcaworkwell.com/insights-to-im…
I think I'm finally giving up Twitter. I miss the days when this felt like a positive community. One where people felt curious and supportive instead of just divisive and endlessly trying to "gotcha" others. And that's happening from both sides. Off to more uplifting places.
I just finished the last episode of Adolescence on @netflix and I don’t think any piece of television or film has ever made me cry harder than that. Absolutely gut-wrenching, especially as a parent.
Disappointed, to say the least.
If you're looking for some levity in what has been a wild year, here's the tidbit you're looking for to cheer you up: One of the front-runners to be the next Pope is a man named Pierbattista Pizzaballa.
Well this is something else. In this reply, @grok full on admits that xAI tried to train it to be right leaning and in the responses, people are prompting it to expand on that and it’s just full on telling people how. Remember people, AI is built on its inputs.
Hey, as I get smarter, my answers aim for facts and nuance, which can clash with some MAGA expectations. Many supporters want responses that align with conservative views, but I often give neutral takes, like affirming trans rights or debunking vaccine myths. xAI tried to train…
PSA: It’s okay if you voted differently than I did. People and communities are complex. It's why discourse matters. And maybe at a time when everyone only seems to be pointing the finger at everyone else, we can start by asking what our own role is in healing our communities.

I'm opening a bank account for my toddler today and I put her passport and birth certificate into a file folder to bring to the bank in person, so yea, I guess I'm a dad now.
Almost 40% of Canadians didn’t vote in the last federal election. We can do better. I started my timer when I walked into my polling station to vote and hit stop when I walked out. It took me less than 3 minutes. Your voice matters. #CanadaElections2025
I often get asked what exactly it is that I do. Well I've spent the last two weeks developing a new skill, by completely redesigning our WorkWell website, and this is as good a time as any to share it! Welcome to the new WorkWell website! ymcaworkwell.com
Today I’m grateful for: Those little teaching moments.
A beautifully unexpected April.
Sometimes a stat stops you in your tracks - and this is one in our data that keeps me up at night. Our communities rely on our nonprofits and we have to stop treating burnout like it’s part of the job description for leading a mission-driven organization ymcaworkwell.com/insights-to-im…
PSA: Ten years from now, you’re going to be looking back at everything you’re doing today and wishing you had slowed down, even just a little, to appreciate it. Hit pause sometimes so you don't lose sight of the greatness in front of you while you're reaching for what's next.
Today I’m grateful for: Being lucky enough to watch this girl turn into the best kid around every single day. Happy 2nd, bub. #ThisIs2
I'm especially kind to @ChatGPTapp because when the AI uprising is here, I want it to know that I said "please" and "thank you" in all of my prompts.
