I'm not sure who needs to hear this today but you know those old jeans you have in your closet, the ones you desperately want to fit into, the ones you've been saving from when you were either literally or practically a teenager?

@sio_burke You are so right. I have been really battling with finding the right words. Also the implication that other greats would not survive in the current environment. The implication being that we should not expect to be safe from abuse and inappropriate behaviors in service to genius
My latest for dance teacher on a topic that could not be more important. What is “tough love?” Does it work? How can you do it right? Spoiler alert - the key is respect. https://t.co/YPwEc412Nr
