Witnessed an assault while taking my family to dinner on Polk St tonight.
Young guy beating what looked like a homeless woman.
Called 911 twice and it rang out to an automated message. Got a call a back 3 mins later.
Lots to process here.
Guy got away.
But it also got me thinking what if my child was dying and I had to wait 3 mins for a call back.
Or there was a fire consuming our apt and I needed to wait 3 mins for a call back.
Wonder what the bottleneck is about here. Are we short 911 operators? Is 6:00 pm on a February Friday night that busy for them?
Mom & Dad getaway trip this weekend. Some of our topics to reflect on and plan while here:
- Look through 2024 photos
- Write down 2024 highlights!
- Review 2024 spending
- Talk through 2025 Travel
…and a few more. Love working on our marriage with this looker:
@jessegenet Love this call out, I have a good marriage, and talking about it more isn’t something I’ve considered but so down for, especially since it is something my husband and I work at. Curious if you have a take on how to talk about it well.
@jessegenet I recently took a career pause to put my children and family first, it’s been so liberating! I’m excited to see more women having the courage to take the step with eyes wide open of its positive impacts and potential challenges. Love your posts!
@thehonestlypod@bariweiss have you done any work covering the book banning conversation right now? I noticed some books on the “banned/challenged” bookshelf at our public library that I was surprised to see and I’m looking for good sources on understanding this topic better.
@Kazanjy +1 to the enterprise management at Figma being great. Outside of Figma, many friends in enterprise selling roles comment on this which IMO highlights the nature of this tension.
Shout out to @drinkLMNT for the box of goodies they sent to my wife, @KTJaneMartin!
Katie had gestational diabetes for her first pregnancy and it turns out that drinking electrolytes after a meal lowers your blood sugar significantly.
She’s been drinking them ever since and esp during her second pregnancy (37 weeks now).
They reached out to learn more about her story and sent this box as a gift!
Third trimester, officially on leave waiting for our little girl, watching/chasing our 18 mo old solo during the workday until she arrives, and my husband (@aaroncbailey) says to me after dinner “you go rest, I’ll take care of the dishes and everything else.” Heavenly.
I am really disappointed to see how @nytimes is covering the SVB story. No mention of founders or the thousands of people this would have affected had the gov not stepped in.
