I loved this post the first time and it was wonderful again today (election day). You do an EXCELLENT job narrating your work - listening to this post again today was like having a friend on the phone. Thank you for re-sharing!

I love this so much. I’m building a little list of things to give my children when they turn 18… (mostly reading material and condoms??) this feels like something to add to the stack.

six hours into sitting in my windowless research lab, on the hour of the day where i KNOW i’ll get sad and existential and question all my life choices, but somehow that doesn’t make it much easier when it comes. all that to say—thank you for this.

It's been a long time since something on the internet made me cry. But listening and reading along to these encouraging words spoke to me on a deep level, and by the end I had tears streaming down my face. Thank you. I'm going to refer to this post every time I need a pick-me-up and some profound perspective.
