I've found Pony Messenger charming! just like getting mail at summer camp. makes me think through which of my friendships thrive in IMs, or in sporadic letters or calls, or rambly dinner convos... I'm @ carrie on the app if you wanna say hi. lots of good usernames still avail :)

helpful for New Yorkers getting mailers about choosing a clean energy provider and wondering if there’s a catch + how to pick. Thanks Moses!

I totally forgot about Paragraph Club until Amy Weiss-Meyer reminded me! We used to send a few loving sentences every week. here's mine from 6 years ago❤️

new podcast ep about a cool project at work! I intended this as a resource for other PMs, but a cool side effect is that friends not in tech have listened and gotten a sense of what my job is like. thanks Dylan Portelance for interviewing me! anchor.fm/carrietian/epi…

I had and recovered from covid recently. In these days immediately since, when I’m least likely to infect anyone or be reinfected, I’ve gone on flights and socialized and been shocked at how serene I feel. Stark reminder of how much we’ve been carrying all these last few years.

Ben reads a lot, so this is quite the compliment! I’ll out myself as the sender. if getting regularly scheduled doses of gratitude sounds nice, I’m happy to add you 💌

highly recommend reading this if you're leading a team transition! Joe put a lot of thought into facilitating ours, and the session ended up being emotional in the best way - hard to pull off ever, let alone on Zoom.

just finished this course and found it clarifying and inspiring. thank you Shreyas Doshi! maven.com/shreyas-doshi/…
