Why can people wear black year round, but the minute I wear pastels in winter, people make comments about me dressing for the wrong season?

Can we normalize sending parking options in meeting invites for literally everything in SF?

I’m protesting the rest of the World Cup.

The US team is the founder that raised insane amounts of money from a top tier VC just by saying they’re ex SpaceX.

Their valuation was overinflated for years and became a unicorn until exiting via SPAC.

To me, seeing people with actual exposure to other ways of life actively choosing America and being a proud member of our society says all I need to know.

I live in Silicon Valley.

Today, I see more immigrants on my social media speaking up, being proud to be an American than people I know born in this country.

Happy 250th birthday, America! We got you a present. 🇺🇸

The red, white, and blue stars of this globular cluster shine like a sparkler waved on a dark night in this image from @NASAHubble, released in celebration of the United States' 250th anniversary.

Today is America’s 250th 4th of July - marking 250 years of freedom for our nation and our citizens. I’m blessed to be an American, and proud to be an active contributor of making our nation safer and more advanced.

I love being a part of this incredible country 🦅🇺🇸

Cape Verde is that startup you invest in that everyone tells you is a bad bet.

Then they shock millions by how they perform.

Maybe it’s not a unicorn, but I’d bet on that team again.

Cape Verde and all its fans should be proud

Also…. Where’s Cape Verde? Anyone?

[Katie Swanson @kls_vc]

I told everyone this game would be an upset.

Nobody believed me.

It’s my VC intuition

[Katie Swanson @kls_vc]

@WaleedArshaddd Thanks, but it’s called twitter….. (welcome back to being my friend, hope you’re well AND CONGRATS ON THE BEAUTIFUL WEDDING)

[Katie Swanson @kls_vc]

Two truths and another truth:

Egypt won.
Cape Verde is a great team.
Germany is out.

Not to get political… but I’m already planning to vote for Rubio in 2028 just like I did in 2016 as a write in. Let’s see him crush this role as Secretary of State. #MarcoRubio

I had this issue too….. not a great look for the year they start bringing in space tech!

[Waleed Arshad @WaleedArshaddd]

Google Maps acting sketchy!!

I’m in South Korea while being at @TechCrunch Disrupt!

It is really is “disrupting”

[Katie Swanson @kls_vc]

Anyone else already completely burnt? Just us?

These are two very different statements:
“That’s not my job”
“I don’t think that’s a good use of my time and skillset”
