Columbus and Minneapolis and Chicago and New York.

I knew they were going to escalate things in New York after Zoran took office because it's a great excuse.

Everyone is terrified right now.

And the best thing that you can do is show up every day and be human to each other.

Buy someone a coffee, like offer to just listen to a non-white person in your life.

Take an anti-racism course.

Show up as a human being who cares about other human beings because that is the thing that matters most.

When I think about stories that we have from way back in history, like I'll just flag Anne Frank because that's the one that everyone knows.

The thing that mattered for her, the thing that kept her alive for longer than she could have

maybe been alive is people being human to each other.

Like, I think that's such an underrated way to show up.

And we take it for granted every day because we don't consider always how our smallest actions impact each other.

And the truth is that your smallest actions could be the difference between someone losing their life or not.

Yeah.

Absolutely.

Yeah, we owe each other everything.

And I'm gonna do something kind of silly because I am who I am, but this is one of my favorite songs in the world.

And this is a Shrek reference.

Like, you know, all that glitters is gold, only shooting stars break the mold.
