    • ieedchat - Moderator Aug 28 @ 10:44 PM EDT
      Q2b: Are you sensing or seeing a shift in politically related anxiety (Politics, immigration, race relations, etc) #IEedchat

  • rguztec Aug 28 @ 10:45 PM EDT

  • ieedchat - Moderator Aug 28 @ 10:48 PM EDT
    This "more hours in the day" is trending. Maybe a future #IEedchat could be just on that - If I had _____ I would _____.

    It's those little things we do as T's that they pick up on and get to see who we really are #IEedchat
    In reply to @AshleyMSJC5
  • JSynnott1 Aug 28 @ 10:50 PM EDT

    A3 showing passion for other parts of life should be easier than showing our passion for the S. Sometimes best way to reach them #ieedchat
