As we contemplated who we might invite for this post-election UNUM gathering, we were (temporarily) flummoxed. A week after the election would we be in need of an expert in election law, a therapist or an exorcist? Could we just place all three on speed dial?
Then we realized that no matter what happens during – and after – the 2024 election, there will undoubtedly be some BIG feelings about it, so our task on November 12th is utterly clear even now: we’ll need to take one step closer to each other. That journey has a sherpa, and her name is Mónica Guzmán. Mónica is the friend you’ll want for that post-election drink, the one you can let your hair down with to just talk it all through. We also couldn’t think of a better election season read (or re-read) than her book “I Never Thought of it That Way” — check it out below.
You’re welcome. (Thank us by taking one step closer to someone you know — now. And then another step.)

What, exactly, is our problem?
Author Tim Urban, known for his extended riff on procrastination in his endlessly wise, side-splittingly funny, stick-figure illustrated Wait But Why blog, emerged from a 6-year deep think with an answer that has the power to save humanity (from itself).
In Urban’s analysis, the primitive mind is a furry orange monster holding a burning torch, big dumb looking genies called golems roam the land — and we’re going to need a resurgence of rival genies to save us.
Now which one of you has anything more fascinating to tend to on October 15th? We thought not.
