@MashaDC I am so terribly sorry Masha. XXOO

When you wonder why you have insomnia and realize it’s because you couldn’t stop reading the news and looking at photos from your family’s homeland and nothing will ever be the same again.

@angeladuckw Great question - going with the only thing certain in that our world is highly uncertain. So get damn good/comfy living in the uncertain zone. Surround yourself with big, bold idea people and prioritize love and laughter. Also - up your chocolate game=support small biz!

If you were going to give a commencement speech this year, what would your advice to graduates be?

We agree (@beckgale @HaleySSwenson) have got it spot on -- it is not about gear or goods - it is about what makes our system, our culture work (or at present, not).

Laughing -- hoping you get to keep your gig. Wondering is this a review? Are you being considered for a new position? Can you see about possibly having one of them make the meals, clean, do laundry? Do let us know how things workout!!!

@kaylawebley @JillFilipovic I agree with the niche plan -- creates less clutter and can be a very cool design element.

@JillFilipovic Such a tiny thing, but I adore the tiled niches in our bathroom. We added one in the shower and one near the toilet. They’re just little built-in shelves that reduce clutter and make it so you don’t need a separate toilet paper holder or shower caddy.

I've lived in old Brooklyn apartments for a long time and now I'm in the early stages of renovating a (very very old) house. For ppl who live in the modern world: What are your absolute favorite didn't-know-you-couldn't-live-without them features of your kitchen and/or bathroom?

@LaurenWellbank TOVIP -- that is the best I can suggest....

@EdelmanUS_ @richardwedelman Yes, people want to feel safe, cared for and seen in the workplace. Mentally safe. Meaning life in the Panini Generation - caring for children, parents, etc poses no risk to job or $ security. That is not only what X prioritizes for self, also what they expect from brands.
