The little joys of being in the office like someone microwaving a tuna casserole were lost on me for a while. That’s no longer the case.

I’ve never missed Karens… well, ever. But watching and experiencing people cut in the hour long line at the Musée d’Orsay - that shit would not fly in the states.

Visiting the Bay Area is bittersweet. I love the nostalgia of memories of my 20s but seeing downtown Mountain View dead during the day is a reminder that the past is gone and the future is a new opportunity.

With all of the unprecedented damage and uncertainty in LA right now, I see life going on. The fact that people can continue on our my lives reminds me that I’m lucky and I remain grateful for what I’ve got.

Tech twitter these days falls into two categories of people these days in my mind:
* people peddling the equivalent of the $25 Hayley Bieber skin smoothie, or
