š¤ #TampaBay is a beautiful and diverse ecosystem and we need to take better care of it. Yesterday, I saw two š¬chasing š for dinner while pelicans crashed around them. Blue š¦ were scurrying in the water. Stingrays stealthily skimmed the bay bottom. 1/5
We have worked diligently for decades to clean up the šwater quality of Tampa Bay, but the massive dump of acidic wastewater from the neglected #PineyPoint phosphogypsum stack feels like a slap in the face. This happened before. Nobody learned from it. 2/5
We must learn the lesson now and act. We need new solutions to protect our bay and waterways, & a true commitment to stick with it. We need innovative ideas for the meaningful use of gypsum instead of building massive mounds w giant wastewater ponds that leak and overflow. 3/5

Football is an idol in modern America. The #NFLās massive š°š°š°has corrupted our culture. I knew many young men who had no life plan other than going pro. They ALL had their bodies ruined in the process. I shouldnāt be able to walk due to a football injury.
We sacrifice our athletes to idols, cutting them into whatever shape wins games. The NFL doesnāt care about healthy bodies. The game destroys bodies. Your favorite athlete will probably retire with a permanent injury. No one cares bc š°šāļøš
I live in Tampa & I donāt want the #SuperBowl here. Get it out of here. Gladiator games likely to result in human trafficking. A circus of exploitation. But it brings in lots of money.

I saw Mel Gibson was trending and a tweet triggered tf out of me.
Tong Lee from The Chewy Boba Company USF in Tampa, Florida was violently verbally abusive to me. He once got angry because I was late coming out of work and he was supposed to drive me home. (1)

On the car ride home, he told me next time I was late, he would make me walk home and that he hoped I would "get gangraped by a group of black dudes." He also yelled at me for making one of *his* guests a sandwich because the kid said he was hungry and I was just that kind of (2)
