The thing I don’t understand is why everyone I know needs a follow-up ultrasound and why we can’t just go straight to ultrasound and skip the more painful and non-diagnostic step of the mammogram?

And then when 2 babies get married and have 2 kids and now the family is made up of 3 babies and 1 eldest child… there is an extreme lack of preparedness… totally hypothetical, of course…

Also his last scene in the car with Shiv - his response to her congrats being a stoic “no no no” completely changed my view of him. This is what he wanted and he wasn’t showing at all that he was happy about it - he’s a stone cold killer. Truly ‘efficient’ acting.

Roman was begging Kendall to mess him up so that he had a visible, plausible explanation for why he couldn’t be CEO: cuz he wasn’t physically fit for the job. It gave him an out & allowed him to save face, preserve his ego & continue to tell himself & others it could’ve been him

not just about going out in public. It’s about going anywhere, having any plans at all, the variations on routine, having moments to look forward to. Our time is now less filled with time-marking memories. Everything is the same.

?? That is just not true. Over 50k new cases and 1k deaths a day. It’s nowhere near over. And the number of new cases daily has been hovering around the same plateau for the last few wks.

as president! After working in tech for 17 yrs, I've seen how much gender and racial imbalance there is in the industry, and how urgently we need to change it. I'm thrilled to join KWK so we can increase the access (1/3)
Michelle Wu declares victory in Boston mayoral preliminary - she’ll be one of two candidates on the ballot in November. Amazing to see a Taiwanese-American woman making history!
Conversely I’m a woman and I love crunching! If they can make a quieter chip, can they also make me one with an even more satisfyingly louder crunch?!
Because if I’m trying to be ladylike but am eating Doritos, I’ve already lost.
I have a big life/work update!
This year, my partner Andrew Chang & I have been building something new & we’re so excited to share it.
We’ve thought a lot about how hard it is to build a startup, no matter who you are. /1

What a lovely thought. Would have appreciated public credit on all the bylines, op eds, Senate testimonies, whitepapers, speeches, TED talks, etc I wrote during my PR career.
@heistimi
I think we need a diff model that adjusts for the very real lower risk tolerance and privilege of poc & women. Rather than looking for founders & incubating ideas, funds should be incubating ppl. Hire them, incubate them, support them then spin them out around Series B stage.
We didn’t win. But there are 6000+ people in NY assembly district 56 who have expressed their desire for a more progressive form of justice in their neighborhood, and their voices have been heard, and they are getting closer to it. For that I’m proud of this campaign.
This is really important: when inventing new technology, be thoughtful about its implications *in advance.* It's the right way to introduce new tech to the world. Here's more on

Crazy question - any female investors or engineers out there available to speak to a few hundred female high school coders in 30 min? A conference I’m speaking at this afternoon had a slot unexpectedly open up and they need someone ASAP! DM me pls!
A really easy thing we can all do to respect each other’s cultures and personal identities: ask people how they pronounce their name, learn it, say it, confirm you said it correctly. Do this whenever you meet someone whose name seems unfamiliar or ambiguous in pronunciation.

This is silly and makes no sense. In-house comms still costs $ and can range in quality.
And most importantly, you missed the actual top tier outcome: when the crisis doesn’t appear to happen at all.

We added 63 new team members during the pandemic, so we’ve gotten really good at interviewing / onboarding / integrating new teammates while remote! Will you be next? :) Hiring across all depts!
Why isn’t there one single source of info for where to stream various shows and movies? Nothing is super clear about what comes w/subscriptions vs paid, which seasons are available where and when. Seems solvable...
