Food for thought, at the start of the year we cut our number of daily Tweets in half and most of our posts are averaging almost double the number of engagements.

I’m an author in a movie. After settling at my immaculate desk I stare into the middle distance for a moment before beginning to type. I don’t stop until I have an impressive stack of printed pages next to me. I don’t check Twitter or Instagram and I am always dressed.

This is kind of unique, I think — from UVA President Ryan: "My wife, Katie, and I are opening our home—Carr’s Hill—to students every afternoon this week from 2-5pm for those who wish to come together and hang out with each other and a dog or cat, or two."
