.Jen Psaki just said on The View she worked for 2 presidents who said, "when you need to do something for your kid, go do it." When are we going to start hearing leaders say this for folks caring for parents/elders? It's time to be more equitable in how we treat caregivers.

This is a perfect example of an ad gone wrong. Someone knew this wasn't going to land well but was either: 1. Afraid to speak up (bad culture) 2. Not in the room to speak up (homogeneous team). The negative responses are the exact case for why inclusion & diversity matter.

It still baffles me that in the year 2024 that the Gmail app doesn't allow you to mark an email urgent before sending. That red exclamation point is the only thing I miss about Microsoft Outlook!

An important update and new article in nature by Eric Topol and Ziyad Al-Aly, MD re #longcovid If only exposure notification tech was implemented for all 50 states & we could scale our connectandprotect campaign with some of the $6mm given to promote vaccines. Perhaps less infections?

Today is World MS Day My Mom was diagnosed when I was a senior in college but was in denial about it for a few years. All of my adult life she's lived with MS & for the past 12 years, since my Dad's passing, I've been her primary caregiver. Our caregiving journey evolves often.

Kicking off #nyctechweek at Fenwick for a16z podcast. Be sure to say hi if you're in the building! If not, let me know what events you're attending this week. Lots to discuss in the ecosystem! #blackintech #womenintech #nyctech #tech

I don't understand why FB/IG haven't built partner APIs to apps like The New York Times, The Washington Post etc so I don't have to waste time logging in on the web or copying the article title & searching? There's literally someone at Meta whose job it is to make these things happen & yet...

The past several weeks have been overwhelmingly magical, precisely at a time of incredible loss. Life is funny that way -- giving you wonderful new memories while you're desperately grasping onto the old memories of those lost. 🙏🏽🍊🧡

Hi all! As part of my time at Harvard, I'm collaborating w/Robin Ely & Sanaz Mobasseri & we're hiring a lab manager. Please retweet & forward to strong RAs. We need experience running in-person lab studies & would love experience w/physiological data. sjobs.brassring.com/TGnewUI/Search…

I remember when I was in college, page and word counting was top of mind when completing assignments. It was often a slog to the finish line. These days, I spend more time editing because I'm over the limit with too much to say. Times have changed, but less is still more.

Not sure what causes the brain to be so obtuse. When people hit amazing milestones in life, it's best to ask them how they feel about THIS MOMENT not the future! Allow them to bask in the JOY in the present moment. Good grief! It happens too often in all professional pursuits.

Lately, I've been having the WORST insomnia. I've been literally working through it, in hopes that I would fall asleep, but not happening at all. So back to my spreadsheets and emails I go! Thank goodness for "scheduled send" else the timestamps on email would be atrocious!

Customer service/support with fitbit was wonderful before the Google acquisition. Not Fitbit Support is impossible to reach via chat or call and the devices are getting worse. What tracking devices are folks loving with equivalent metrics that are NOT Apple watch?

Phenomenal news! However issues still exist. 1. Taxis need to actually stop for people in wheelchairs. 2. Drivers need to keep the vehicles free from excess stuff to accommodate the wheelchair. 3. Some should side load vs rear load for larger wheelchairs. bit.ly/4g3W3FH

It's wild to me that Astound Broadband would prefer a customer of 18 yrs go to another provider instead of lowering my bill to match their competitor's pricing or even their own new customer pricing for that matter. $0 < $205/month Spectrum you're about to get a new customer.

Update is that the social media team Astound Broadband can't help & suggests I contact customer service that I already spoke to yesterday for 1.5 hrs where Rich, a supervisor, told me he can't do anything for me. I'm sure Spectrum would have my new service started already.
