I think with Facebook's value plummeting and the changes happening at Twitter, it's worth considering that the era of mass market social networks is coming to an end.
π’I never post on here so you know I'm literally heartbroken. Thanks for all of the hard work that made so many great memories over the last two years, Team @ohyayco! ohyay.co/blog-post/an-updateβ¦

The vibration of laughter can really cleanse your space. Crack jokes as often as you can. Be silly. Play games. Watch / listen to comedy. Uplift the energy in the room and the spirits of the people around you.

I never had the honor of meeting Greg, but my heart goes out to his brother, Brian, who has been a mentor, friend, and confidante to me. So much love to their family as they shoulder this tremendous loss.
The writer and critic Greg Tate has died. βHis best paragraphs throbbed like a party and chattered like a salon,β Hua Hsu wrote, in 2016. βReading Tate, I was drawn to his sense of otherness; he wrote from a perspective that felt both inside and outside.β nyer.cm/isvdn3y

An accidental product of having to find joy through centuries of slavery, Jim Crow, segregation, the crack era, the prison industrial complex, and racism.
