How you holding up @paris.nyc. So sorry this happened. You do great work. Hopefully you get snatched up real quick.

Maybe back to @wired.com?

I have to admit I'm shocked by the layoffs.

Hugs!

So sorry. Been in that situation many years ago and it really sucks! When you know you’re good at your job it really, really sucks! Hang in there. You’ll land on your feet probably better off.
