Dear Anxious Parents,

Your kids are effed up just like you were—just like your parents were.

Each generation has its own variation of, “Are the kids alright?” Imagine how parents who survived the bubonic plague in Europe felt about their kids.

You’re not special. Good luck 😊

I welcome people who knew Hydeia to share their thoughts—if they want to.

Of the people we approached, only Rae Lewis Thornton felt comfortable doing so.

I’m just happy that I didn’t imagine it and that no one was harmed.

But also…. It’s been a while since I felt a tremor.

Did anyone else in NYC just feel the earth moving? Was that an #earthquake ?

That said, I love all of my cohort mates, so we’re all geniuses & all you’ll ever hear from me is: “My year got the best ones.” 🖤
