(1,4) I am seeing some comments on social media that I vehemently disagree with. They suggest that if you care more about loss of life than the economy, then the reason is that you must be financially set and so do not have anxiety over this situation.
(2,4) I simply want to call BULLSHIT on that. Those of us concerned about the human loss are concerned because of our humanity. We are concerned because of loss. In my case, I lost my daughter to gun violence and my brother to cancer from 9/11. I live now to help others live.
(3,4) I already know some who have coronavirus and it is a very tough illness. I know many in the first responder communities in New York and elsewhere and it is bad. For those who feel differently than me, that is ok.
(4,4) I will simply hope and wish that you or nobody you love gets coronavirus. I wish us all good health and a sincere hope that we get through this sooner rather than later.

(1,5) I met @JoeBiden in person in Mach 2018, just a month after my daughter Jaime was murdered. He had a room full of people waiting for him, and yet, he spent almost 45 minutes with me. No cameras, no staff. He spoke to me about grief and going forward.
(2,5) After about 20 min, I reminded him about his room full of people, he said this was more important. He told me in honest ways what to expect and how unpredictable grief is. He spoke to me about my family. These photos were taken at the end of the first Dem Debate in Miami.
(3,5) At the end of the debate, @JoeBiden was on stage and saw me walking across the floor. He motioned for me to walk to the stage. Even though this was over a year later, he remembered me. He was again reaching out to me.

(1,3) As a former Dunkin Donuts franchisee, I still have many friends in the restaurant business. They are struggling. This line of thinking from the current occupant of the White House is unbelievable.

(2,3) This country's lack of preparation and current difficulty with this virus, because of WH failures, only ensure a longer and harder recovery that will result in many businesses needing to close, including friends of mine.
(3,3) That fact that this White House would look at that as ok, or as a business opportunity for others, is all of the reason that every business owner needs to know to vote against him. He will screw you in a New York minute.

(1,3) CRITICAL UPDATE FROM NY HOSPITALS!

"Physician leaders across NYC have confirmed that they are nearing capacity regarding converting non traditional ICU space into ICU space utilizing non ICU staff."
(2,2) "Can't see how they will manage after another week of escalating cases at this rate. None have heard of plan of how to utilize federal resources. Some believe that help is not coming soon or if at all. Very grim outlook for NYC metro area."
(3,3) "Some hospitals state their morgues are full and most cases waiting for bed placement are COVID related. This is identical to what we are seeing at my hospital."

Seeing this post on social media made me laugh, then it made me think, then it made me create.

A thread on how I came up w/the idea for my new game, #culturetags.
End of last summer I started thinking about how to create a fun game that merged community & culture.

A few mos later @fiyawata posted that graphic & myself & hundreds others knew exactly what it meant 😬 Then I started seeing more posts like this & I was like... #culturetags
But like most ideas, I tucked it away & kept it moving. Fast fwd to a month later, I walked in @dreamvillahgehq on Nov 6 & there was a long acronym on the board. It started w/RABGAFA...🥴

I thought it was a sign & told everyone about my game idea #culturetags

#life THREAD. On Subtraction.

1/ It’s simple to note: One has to subtract before adding. Give up what’s bad, before thinking about adding what’s good. True for habits, food, news and everything else.
#life 2/ We live in a world with many apparent "signals”.

We’re consuming:
- More info/news/entertainment
- More food
- More social networking
- More things to-do/work...

…than prior generations. It’s making us lazy and critically, disengaged.
#life 3/ It’s unclear what the signal to noise ratio is - it’s a function of one’s own consumption habits.

And separately, we’re prone to setting additional goals too:
- Read good books
- Eat a healthy diet
- Have fewer but better friends
- Work smart

etc.
