    My boyfriend is in YC and this is what I come home to Friday night. I make sure that he’s fed, do his laundry cut his hair. I give feedback, customer intros, and encouragement. YC girlfriends should be granted sweat equity. @ycombinator 30 days until demo day 💪

    This is my walk home along SF’s main road (Market St.) On cold days folks are burning trash to keep warm. It’s horrifying to see the Overdose ambulance carrying away bodies. I’ve lived in 12 cities across 5 continents, never seen anything like this. Remember to vote local

    Life update 🚨 8 months after I went viral for supporting my YC boyfriend, he proposed this past weekend by bringing together a hundred of our friends and family to surprise me with a standup comedy show (that I had to perform in). I posted the tweet in jest, but it sparked a

    Left work in SF to see robbers smash this car with a mom and toddler in the back seat. The poor child is screaming with broken glass all over her and he continues to grab things out of the car. ppl telling me to move, the desolation in SF isn't isolated x.com/CCgong/status/…

    Horrifying, my friend was viciously attacked in SF and left partially blind, and this is not isolated. I know multiple ppl who’ve been maimed for no reason, one had her face smashed in on Market and had to have reconstructive surgery. This is unconscionable @DanielLurie @SFPD

    I spent 24 hours in El Segundo to host a founder dinner and it was the single most inspiring day I've experienced as an investor. This small pocket of LA has become one of the most concentrated ecosystems of visionary founders building companies that push the frontier of deep

    The bike racks are here as well as the Uber drop off point so it's my path to get home, it's a representation of the SF I see. good idea tho next time I'll just cross the street and it will be completely normal
