Talk less, laminate more.

So, has this ever happened to you?You and your cohost are recording a podcast. You’ve planned for this podcast. It’s going to be about the Oscars, a topic of intense mutual interest. And then, at the top of the episode, you start to talk about navigating this moment in American authoritarianism as a parent and before you know it you’ve decided to punt the Oscar talk to another week because this is literally all you can talk about now.Oh, just us? Well, here you go then. We’re really proud of this one, because it feels like the present-tense contents of our heart literally split open. With jokes, still. And a heaping helping of affirmation and inspiration, because we really get into why this moment requires a wide variety of actions and activities. Is your contribution enough? Not alone, of course, but as one puzzle piece amongst several, absolutely!What about the Oscars episode? Oh it’s coming. You better believe it’s coming. But in the meantime, thanks friends. Keep up the good work, even if it feels like it’s not enough. We love you.[Full disclosure, there’s a little jump in the recording at the point where we decided to pivot the topic, but it’s just a blip and we hope it’s not too distracting].Links:* Want to give to the Minneapolis rental assistance project that Garrett talked about?
