Good moment to re-read (read?) this by @davetroy

FRIENDS IN DC, COME TO THIS!
Bridget Todd (There Are No Girls On the Internet) @qjurecic (@lawfare) + @justinhendrix (Tech Policy Press) are going to be on stage together at Georgetown 🤗

Today my kids (5y/o) have their first lockdown drill. I told them it was just like a fire drill and there’s nothing to worry about. And after they rounded the corner I cried with a staff member at the door.

I feel compelled to reshare this brilliant ad. Watch it. Share it.

@kelseyhightower apologies for the random DM, I was trying to find you on Twitter and couldn’t. I am pulling together an event that sounds extremely up your alley. Where could I send you more information? I’d love to see if this is something you’d be interested in.
