Apropos of nothing except my own irritation with some "future of the Democratic Party" shit lately: If you care about tackling one of the biggest cost-of-living issues -- housing! -- you *have* to care about municipal elections!

The time for philanthropy to step up is now — not “once we know what’s going on”; not “when we see how it all works out.” Find an organization doing critical work to support the most vulnerable, in your own community or elsewhere. Give them your money. Do it today. Don’t wait.

It is remarkable that there are still people who believe that the reason hundreds of thousands of people have nowhere to live is that we haven’t made having nowhere to live unpleasant enough.

Just had a heated conversation about respecting boundaries with a small lizard that somehow made its way into my house. How’s your Thursday going? 🙃

Always the “up-past-bedtime-'cause-I’m-on-deadline-and-this-thing-won't-write-itself” solo dance break that's the most epic and energizing. Also, I just inadvertently typed Megan Thee Stallion lyrics into this report so if you need an equity strategy with body-ody-ody, call me.

Had to remind myself, so reminding all of you too. Unclench your jaw. Take a deep breath.
