I know when the Culture Wars are getting me down and I'm wondering what I'm doing, this place and you, the people who make it up, remind me that I must be doing something right to have gathered such a bad ass group of individuals who just want to bake and garden and make stuff and for the most part, mind their own damn business.
I'm not sure I take the time to appreciate you all enough--because it never feels like enough--and although I've been insanely busy lately, just popping my head in and seeing you all interacting makes me smile at the end of a long day.
So thank you for your love and support and kindness. When I grabbed that Post-It in the Starbucks that said "remember why you started" it was to connect to people--and connect people. You here in this community are the reason I started and it's your encouragement that often keeps me going. It's like I'm running a marathon and I have no idea what the race is for or when the end is--but I'm grateful to have you cheering me on, running with me and splashing me with a cold dose of water when I need it.
Today on #WalkInsWelcome I had a great talk with comedian turned political commentator Lee Camp about his political awakening, why we should turn off all mainstream corporate media, how the Democrats are not really a left-wing party, and so much more.

I totally forgot to post this here yesterday! I was laughing too hard at the Martha's Vineyard stuff. Nimesh is hilarious and his special on youtube "Thank You, China" is great. He's not holding back.
I spoke to Greg Lukianoff for #WalkInsWelcome about how deeply messed up it is to tell people they're more fragile than they are, how the victimhood mentality is undermining cognitive behavioral therapy, and how he wishes business wasn't booming at FIRE.

Maybe we should just focus on TV show reviews.

This week's question: How do people (new parents in particular) manage, deal with, or get over their fears?
Hey Pham,
Some of you have been asking if we have a list of our promo codes for all the Dumpster Fire & Walk-Ins Welcome sponsors. We made a list and you can find it here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/11ErjcLnuDxjb4FibbeY3yh97UOUyfeqr5xz6zKV57mw/edit?usp=sharing
We'll do our best to keep it updated.
