I’ve been at Twitter for a decade, and people have always under estimated us.
We’ve always been under dogs - it’s been our single biggest motivating factor over the years.
Twitter is complicated, not easy, but absolutely worth it. Couldn’t be prouder to work here.

My 6 yr-old hung out w/me a lot today while WFH. Lots of VC calls. Tonight, at dinner, I asked him to stop throwing a tantrum. He turned to me and said: "Are you giving me feedback?".

May sound trivial, but for working parents, it's integral to an environment of safety & belonging.

Shocked and in a panic, I immediately asked her where she heard that word.
Without hesitation, she replied: “Grandma”.

Got off a long, intense work call over the weekend & everybody signed off with “Love you.”
I didn’t think anything of it until I noticed my wife overheard & gave me a quizzical look.
Workplace culture is, in the end, built by the bonds between the people doing the work.

Last night my 8 year-old puked all over - and I do mean all over - his bed.
While we were cleaning it up, the dog pooped in the hallway.
Then 8 yr-old stumbled through the hallway and stepped, barefoot, in the dog poop.
I think that's what they call a parenting hat-trick.

My 6 yr-old has witnessed a lot of video calls & has asked if he could give his own presentation.
If any Tweeps are up for indulging him for a 15min hangout, the topic will either be his Pokémon card collection or his aspirations to become a pro spy.
Reply or DM if interested!

My 6 yr old still asks me to sing lullabies at bedtime every night. I know it won’t last forever.
But tonight, I received a clear warning shot that the novelty is wearing thin.
A few lines into the first lullaby, she turned to me deadpan, and said:
“Alexa, skip to next song.”

The thing is, if you send me to Target at 10:30pm to pick up last minute items for a weekend camping trip...I’m going to take some liberties with the shopping list & make some questionable decisions.
Can’t wait to see the kids’ faces when I roll up on the campfire.

Still don't understand why it's ok (and celebrated) for athletes to have endorsement deals w/beer and liquor brands...but smoking weed (in a legalized state, no less) is an issue we're willing to ruin their careers over...?
A double-standard w/ deep systemic & cultural origins

and you’re not actively, vocally communicating your support for her right now with every ounce of influence at your disposal, you’ve really missed the point of “sponsoring” Olympic athletes

My in-laws are watching the kids this weekend.
Apparently 6 yr-old has been reminding them to vote for Biden.
4 yr-old is insisting that “Trump has no plan.”
We may not be perfect parents, but hearing this feels reassuring that we’re doing some things right.

Only banning political ads *days* before an election is basically like not flossing all year, and then flossing 10x a day the week before your dentist appointment to try and trick your dentist into thinking you have good dental hygiene practices.
NEW: Facebook is considering a ban on political ads on its social network in the days leading up to the U.S. election in November. No decision yet, but it’s being discussed, according to sources

Timeline cleanse.
My 8 yr old is the high-five fairy on the lacrosse field.
If any teammate scores a goal, he simply will not rest until he’s high-5’d them.
He will run far and wide to ensure a high-five is delivered, at all costs.
I love this about him.

I think the worst part about having to wear a mask out in public is the inability to smile at people. I’ll never take for granted the act of smiling kindly at a stranger or passerby again.

Couple of years ago my son randomly decided he would become a Tampa Bay Buccaneers fan & a Milwaukee Bucks fan.
Only human I know who roots for the Bucs & the Bucks. To this day we have no clue why.
2021 was really the year this bet paid off for him. Gotta hand it to the kid.

Him: Can I live in this house forever?
Me: Sure, but don’t you want to get your own place some day?
Him: Nah. And I don’t want to get married either.
Me: No kids? Don’t want to be a dad?
Him: No way. That’s way too much work.

Can't remember the last time this happened, but I am alone as the only human being currently in my house...for the next few hours. No one crashing my conference calls, no one asking for a snack, or a butt-wipe. It's just me, Google Hangouts, and my emails...And it's glorious.
