🚨 👚 Twitter network! I’m looking for someone with clothing design experience to help mock up a shirt idea for me to send to manufacturers. Anyone know someone? Tag them or DM me

Mondays and Fridays 9am at the Bluestone Lane at Chelsea Piers. It’s an amazing group, would highly recommend
Just 1 in 9 Americans smoked cigarettes last year, a record low and inspiring drop from 42% in the 1960s according to the CDC
This is great, but what happens to these numbers when you add back in e-cigarettes and vaping?
It is clear that
@Apple
is focused on health. Compelling hypothesis here about how the features announced at the recent WWDC are a first step towards a major mental health play
We talk a lot about workout routines 🏋️♀️, skincare routines 🧖♀️, bedtime routines 🛌, but not about mental health routines. Love how

Been a part of
@genzvcs
for a few months now and can say this is a powerful group with great energy. Seeing lots of good ideas and valuable connections being made. If you’re not in already, join ✍️
Earlier this week,
@genzvcs
hit 13,000+ members (well, now 13,137 to be exact 😉)!
We add ~1,000 members to the community organically every month -- entirely via word of mouth & through our initiatives 👫
And together, we're changing the narrative of Tech & VC 💫
Could being sober actually be... cool?
@brookeleblanc
sure makes it look that way.
She's the CEO of Edge, a tech company building communities around sobriety
And a leading Gen Z voice on the why and how of alcohol-free living
3 lessons I learned interviewing Brooke:
“Among high school students, 39% drank alcohol in 2011; just 23% drink today.
In just a decade, the number of high school students who drink has been almost *halved*”
@profgalloway
What if dating apps started with values, goals, attachment styles, and love languages first, and only showed pictures, occupation, and height after you matched?
According to the Surgeon General’s report this week, we are experiencing a health crisis caused by loneliness. With young people increasingly choosing not to drink, how are we going to reimagine the important social gathering function bars used to serve?
Anyone else notice
@Apple
is making huge plays in two of the biggest markets outside of tech,
#fintech
and

? Powerful what happens when you REALLY focus on the product experience
The incentives in our food and healthcare systems do not reward health.

With longer workdays and more competition, workers are increasingly forced to choose between professional success and personal health
The post on Ramp's approach to product went crazy so I'm extra excited to be recording a podcast episode on Ramp's approach to *growth* with

today. Can't wait to share.
Happy Dry January!!
As someone who can count lifetime drinks consumed on 2 hands, happy to chat about how to navigate socializing, work happy hours, or dating sober. It’s easier than you think :)
☘ Boston is second, behind only San Francisco, for US 2023 venture fundraising totals and the second most stable compared to 2022 across other markets. Great place to build!
Awesome graphic from the

Just heard a crazy stat 🩸
A single menstruating person will use and discard between 5,000 and 15,000 pads and tampons over their lifetime, with most ending up in landfills
Surprised we haven’t found a biodegradable solution
Lowkey hear more people talking about startups/VC in Boston than I did in NYC. Either I’m now hanging at the right places, or Boston is a hidden VC hub
The majority of health conditions in the US are caused by repeated behaviors. A single trip to the doctor will not be enough to make these people well. Who is revisiting the current care model to increase the # of touch points and/or prioritize behavior change?
Beyond excited to see
@whoop
building out a developer platform. Love their app already and now will be able to make it the center of my health and fitness data

There are a lot of existing tech-enabled and emerging AI-enabled workout builders on the market. Some say this signals the end of personal trainers, but it might just be a change in the way trainers interact with their clients. What do others think?
Digital connection is the social equivalent of highly processed food — easy, abundant, and void of true value. Really interesting view on what is contributing to the loneliness epidemic
“With more injections and pills expected, the fitness industry will be wise to shift its focus from aesthetics or weight loss to longevity, mental wellness, and the holistic benefits of exercise”
Really compelling perspective from
@fittinsider
. Going to keep thinking about this

She told my friend (resident) and I to stay focused on our careers bc she never had the opportunity to
Thank you to all the women who came before me and fought so that I can have the career I have today
As a former college athlete, kind of strange I’m just learning about cycle-informed training now
Would have approached training and hormonal contraception use very differently…
