@thepitchshow @joshmuccio @erica_wenger @MartinGTobias @ManusJillian @chudson @mbraimah_ @netflix @KimoyoInsights @joshmuccio Oof, Martin said some things that made me wince. “Land grab” and “you’re just renting people, which isn’t a defendable asset” are VC terms, but in the context of a black woman talking about Africa, the terms ‘land grab’ and “renting people’ sounded tone deaf, no??

@richimedhurst Awful. Refusing to acknowledge the existence of a country and its people is disputable whether it’s not acknowledging Israel or Palestine. Both have a right to exist — hopefully together. Saying, “there is no Israel” is inhumane. Thanks for pointing out this hatred.

@lethal_heroine Love this.

Who’s to say who has their priorities in order: adult or child?

“He was what, in Yiddish, we call a mensch: a person of profound integrity and honour (I can't help but pause here to reminisce about how he loved learning new words. I think he believed that each one held a secret).”

#stevenheighton Steven Heighton is very missed, by very many, including me.

A thought:

Love and pain are irreparably linked, and only the most courageous get to feel love’s full embrace.

You can’t help others

It’s a full-out assault on 1980’s Prime time television.
