Thanks, Vui! I appreciate your kind words. Glad to connect!

This little guy really missed me. Nice to be back home.

Trying to sleep here!

Floofed out.

Thanks, Connie. Life happens. I take it as a reminder to rest, reset, and then move on.

Laid off after 1.5 years as Chief of Staff at the LF. Grateful for the growth, proud of the impact. Taking a beat to reset—and open to what’s next. If you need a strategic partner to help drive vision into action, let’s connect. #OpenToWork #ChiefOfStaff

If we eat enough boot leather the fascists will like us too.

There is one place, however, where Musk, with the help of his minions, achieved his goals. He did indeed shred U.S.A.I.D. Though a rump operation is now operating inside the State Department, the administration says that it has terminated more than 80 percent of U.S.A.I.D. grants. Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Musk’s foray into politics accomplished.

Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty.

So proud of my son Hayden and his dance performance at Durham School of the Arts. He’s an arts kid doing dance, violin, guitar, voice, and visual arts. Our family has always valued and loved the arts. So glad he is carrying on the tradition.

Do not give your heart to anything else
But to the love of those who are clear joy,
Do not stray into the neighborhood of despair.
For there are hopes: they are real, they exist –
Do not go in the direction of darkness –
I tell you: suns exist.
~ Rumi
