It's been a minute since I've been 'live on air' and what a joy it was to do it on Chicago's very own @WGNRadio with the great veteran journalist John Williams. If you're keen to listen, we talk all things Kidsy Inc at 24 minutes in.

Kidsy has closed an oversubscribed pre-seed round (always wanted to say that!) our first fundraise after launching out of beta 6 months ago. Deeply grateful to our investors who supported us with immense conviction. H/t @TechCrunch for this exclusive:

What do you want to know?.

So true. You also give up the right to be lazy, self-serving, self-preserving and so many other things…. If you’re on a team, you work for the team. You do not work for yourself.

Today my 3 year old, out of the blue, wrapped her little arms around my neck and said “I wuv you soooo much!” Every fiber of my being filled with happiness and I am convinced that being “wuved” is infinitely better than being loved.

Watching all the boardroom drama unfold at #OpenAI feels like watching the season finale of #Succession.

One of my favorite journalists. Watching her do what she does is a masterclass in good journalism. Congrats on 40 years at CNN Christiane! @amanpour

Sunday mornings in bed with my husband and our 2 smiling, giggling daughters, discussing pancakes vs breakfast tacos is a 10/10 feeling.

This. “Among those whom I like or admire, I can find no common denominator. But among those whom I love, I can: all of them make me laugh.” — W. H. Auden.

Renaming Twitter to X is among top 10 dumbest decisions I’ve seen over years. Twitter’s brand & everything it represented was crystal clear in our minds. To “tweet” & “tweeting” became a verb & part of our language - the holy grail of marketing! What is X? Are we X’ing now?.

Great time to be building a business that tackles sustainability.

Overheard at Kidsy: 'Make money from saving the planet rather than destroying it.'.

I spent 3 years making a documentary on child labor in global supply chains. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would use my supply chain management & distribution knowledge ever again. And here I am, using it in my startup, every single day. Life is full of surprises.

5 years of being on the board of this incredible organization & every year their impact is more profound than the last. Join us on May 24th in NYC to celebrate the annual @ReelWorks gala. If you can’t make it, you can still support by going here —>

A lot of people/businesses will also finally get the Twitter handle they want which squatters have been sitting on for years.

At the #BerkshireHathaway annual shareholders meeting listening to Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger drop gems. Can’t believe Buffett is 92 yrs old & Munger is 99 yrs old. More impressive than their net worth is their ability to remember dates and numbers like no other!

Facts.

Lost my legacy blue tick today that I had for years as a journalist. Not going to be paying $8/month when an entire Twitter team came to my former news outlet years ago to have us verified. If @elonmusk can pay for celebrity blue ticks out vanity, he should restore legacy ticks.

Good riddance to @TuckerCarlson & @donlemon. One spreads malicious lies on national TV and galvanizes racists & anti-immigrants. The other frequently makes ill-informed, misogynistic comments and does not let his guests speak. Good to see the networks taking out the trash.

It’s the least you can do, right? #guncontrol
