We tell stories in times of chaos because stories are solid ground on which we can stand as winds whip and seas rise. They're guide-ropes through thick forests, they're campfires pushing back the dark, they're doorways of much-needed egress. Tell stories. Make art. It's okay.

My husband & I have been raising kids for 27 years. Our eldest came to us when he was almost 3. His mom OD’d & his dad went to jail. There was no one to take care of this little boy, so we did. When you discriminate against LGBTQ couples, you deprive kids like mine of good homes. pic.twitter.com/n7d8VRAwnB

I notice a lot of people who "tell it like it is" are spending a lot of time explaining that "that's not what I meant" today.

Interesting tidbits from Peloton earnings call today. They grew connected subscribers (basically $2,200 bikes + $40/month) from 563K users to 712K (just this quarter). However despite dropping the digital app (no-bike) from $20/mo to $12, that only grew from 106K users to 109K. pic.twitter.com/txfyE2PhVI
