My daughter (born 4/1/1999) dumped FB in 2016 — and she recently said she’s limiting her remaining #sm channel reviews / inputs to at most 2hrs daily. Granted, her Mom+Dad are OG Journos, so she’s had sharp media literacy chops. Still: She also said her Class of 2025 #MtHolyokeCollege crew is Same.
Apparently I attended #MtHolyokeCollege in the sweet spot after they stopped locking us all in overnight but before they discontinued having kitchens/dining rooms in every dorm for breakfast & supper. We still did Gracious but no longer had to wear a hostess gown.
My travels in Western #MA last week: #WestSpringfield
#SouthHadley (home of #MtHolyokeCollege, where I attended my daughter’s graduation)
#Holyoke
#NorthHampton
These Western #MA towns (including nearby #Amherst, #Milford and “The Berkshires”) are a pungent mix of OG Industrial + LibArts colleges…
…to wit, an excerpt. Not sure why @massgovernor.bsky.social’s full Remarks at #MtHolyokeCollege on 25 May 2025 are not up yet at #CSPAN, but here’s what I captured. #MauraHealey #MassGovernor bsky.app/profile/amya...
Yep. @massgovernor.bsky.social gave a 🔥 Commencement Address at #MtHolyokeCollege in Massachusetts the other day that incorporated these points. 🎓

Before dispersing, we hit the famous #DonutDip in West Springfield, MA. Here’s me and the Two Joes: my former husband and our son. Not pictured: Our daughter, the newly-minted #MtHolyokeCollege Grad, who found the Donut Dip “corny.” 🤣
Update: Ack! An important Correx: @massgovernor.bsky.social is a #Harvard alumna, not a #MtHolyokeCollege grad! My Bad — the perils of posting while attending a very public family event. Foremost, her Remarks were 💯🎓 #MauraHealey www.mtholyoke.edu/news/news-st...
That’s a wrap! Congrats to the Class of 2025 @ #MtHolyokeCollege, including (of course!) my daughter! Very proud of her🎊👩🏽🎓 #CommencementSeason #MtHolyokeCollege
…now on to the “Inspire to Kindness, Resiliency and Courage” (my paraphrase) part of @massgovernor.bsky.social’s #MtHolyokeCollege Commencement Remarks: 🔊🎓
…up now: @massgovernor.bsky.social delivers the Commencement Address (she is an alumna of #MtHolyokeCollege). Of course, without mentioning the Corrupt Orangeman by name, she is rhetorically Shredding him and his Deplorable actions and mindset. #GovernorMauraHealey 🎓
