Dad, seven years ago today you passed on. The joy and inspiration you brought to the world carries on in your legacy and in your family, friends, and fans you so loved. You lived to bring laughter and to help others. I will be celebrating your memory today. Love you forever.
Dad, on the eighth anniversary of your passing, I'm remembering how incredibly kind and joyful you were. I deeply miss you you wonderful, hairy man and will be celebrating your life today. Love you so so much!
I lost my dad - pictured here as a cheerleader - to suicide in 2014. One of the biggest risks we face in suicide prevention is the fear of the stigma associated with seeking help. To all those who support those in need, THANK YOU.

Dad, on the 9th anniversary of your passing, I'm remembering you for your most excellent fashion choices. These days are always hard and I love remembering you for being so very, very YOU. Love you so much!
Happy 72nd Dad! Was remembering how much I used to love that look you'd give. That look with a mischievous, loving grin that your friends and loved ones knew so well. Joyous and curious and wondrous. Miss you and love you forever!
To all the dads out there who go all out for their loved ones, thank you for everything you do. Dad, I'm specifically remembering you for your courage and compassion today. Thank you for helping me learn how to be kind to myself as a first step towards showing up for others.…
To all those reaching out wishing my father a Happy Birthday today, thank you. If you'd like to do something to remember him, go out and do something kind for someone, and then, for yourself!
Dad, today marks six years since your passing. Your legacy lives on in your family and in those who carry your spirit within their hearts. We will continue to fight for what’s good in the world, for peace, and for connecting people instead of tearing them apart. Love you so much!
Missing you so much today Dad. To all those out there who won’t be spending Father’s Day with their dads, or might not have had one present in their life, my heart goes out to you. Happy Father’s Day.
I had the great privilege of keynoting the
@afspnational
Longterm Survivors of Suicide Loss Summit this morning. To the incredible team and community of suicide survivors, thank you for doing everything you do to be of service and to support those in need!
Happy Father's Day Dad! Today, I'm especially grateful for your helping me find happiness and healing through service, something you found so much joy in. I miss you and love you so very much.
Imagine you or a loved one being in a mental health crisis and having a three-digit number to call for trained support. The efforts of Congressman

are making this a reality. He and I created an Op-Ed about it for

Dad, on what would have been your 69th birthday the feelings of missing you are especially intense. I love you and am so grateful we were able to spend all the incredible times we did together.

First, I want to acknowledge your perspective. With that said, there was a time when I was resentful and I've done what I believe is necessary to work through the stigma associated with what you are referencing.
No one is asking you to idolize my father. I…

Wishing those who served and their family a Happy Veteran’s Day. I love this photo of Dad performing in the Middle East during one of his USO tours. Performing for the troops always made him so happy!
Six years in missing Dad on Father’s Day. Feeling really grateful to be spending my second one with my son Mickey.
Wishing everyone, especially all the dads out there, a happy, hopeful Father’s Day!
I had the great joy of marrying my best friend

I’m excited about more and more people getting out how transformative and influential DeFi, DAOs, NFTs, and Dapps will be. Just this year alone I’m floored by the pace of innovation, development, and creativity in the sector and will be devoting much more time to it.
A decade ago, I would not have thought I'd spend most of my time supporting mental health initiatives or helping nurture positive mental hygiene in folks. Thank you

for giving me the opportunity to share some tips I learned along the way!

I really hope the California Legislature clearing the new, strong mental health parity law will set a precedent of holding insurers accountable for providing equal coverage for mental health treatment across the board. It’s so needed.
Was driving through the Rainbow Tunnel earlier today and my two year-old son Mickey shouted out,
“Grandpa Robin!
Come here!
We need you!”
I couldn’t agree more.
I had a wonderful conversation with the mental health advocate and growth expert

about our unique mental hygiene rituals, the metabolic crisis underlying our mental health crisis and service as a path to healing. You can check it out here!
When I would stay with my grandma as a kid, we would watch Jeopardy while she taught me how to cook Neopolitan food. That was our family time and it was awesome. Thank you for the memories Alex Trebek. Rest peacefully.
9/11 was only two weeks after I moved to NYC a freshman at NYU. But only after 15 years did I start to acknowledge that the attacks were traumatic for me. To the victims, families of the victims, and the rescue and recovery teams, you are in my heart.

Devastated by the terrorist attacks in Israel, especially on Shabbat and the final day of Sukkot – a time to celebrate community and family. For non-Jewish Americans, imagine your Thanksgiving marred by violence, with innocent loved ones targeted simply for being born American.
Due to Russian attacks on pipelines and infrastructure in the Ukraine, air quality is degrading both there and in neighboring countries. Please share or use these instructions relating to making a box fan air purifier as needed.

This is terrifying. A humanitarian crisis is rapidly unfolding. There needs to be an internationally enforced armistice giving the opportunity for those who need refuge to find it.
This is a positive step forward! Focusing on having mental health and crisis workers respond to emergency mental health calls instead of law enforcement will save lives and prevent escalation.
30% of veterans have considered suicide. 37,000 veterans are homeless. The VA is underfunded.

In other news, Alberta is the first province in Canada to eliminate fees for addiction recovery programs. Wouldn’t it be awesome to see this happen in the USA? Here’s to the new administration making more opportunities for accessible and affordable care.
