The vibration of laughter can really cleanse your space. Crack jokes as often as you can. Be silly. Play games. Watch / listen to comedy. Uplift the energy in the room and the spirits of the people around you.

I never had the honor of meeting Greg, but my heart goes out to his brother, Brian, who has been a mentor, friend, and confidante to me. So much love to their family as they shoulder this tremendous loss.
The writer and critic Greg Tate has died. βHis best paragraphs throbbed like a party and chattered like a salon,β Hua Hsu wrote, in 2016. βReading Tate, I was drawn to his sense of otherness; he wrote from a perspective that felt both inside and outside.β
