Anyone who needs a virtual hug right now, check in.

It's a rough time for a lot of people right now. Let's all gather together and support each other through these uncertain times. Especially my LGBTQIA friends and women. And also, people of color or immigrants.

Times are uncertain right now. It's scary, but let's band together and support each other. Let us come together for support and acceptance.

My heart goes out to those who present differently and defy social "norms." They must be really terrified. I wish there was more I could do.

There’s a series on HBO/Max that is incredibly uplifting and that I highly recommend if you’re looking for a virtual hug, Somebody Somewhere. It recently won a Peabody Award and it’s 3rd season is just about to end. Every episode is like a beautiful hug. My wife and I think it’s terrific. It stars NYC cabaret singer Bridget Everett. It’s about community, dealing with grief and acceptance. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry. Not an overtly political show, but it’s political POV is clearly just under the surface.
