100%! Not to sound cheesy, but we are in this together. And the more we turn toward one another and keep our eyes focused on community, the better we’ll be!

One thing I hate about rideshares is when the driver plays music they *think* I’ll enjoy. I immediately question everything. Like, is this a connection, bias, or do they just have good taste?

Either way, I’m putting in my AirPods cuz this is a Lyft, not a TEDTalk. 🎧

Tell me why the airport baggage workers are striking. So I might be delayed by a couple of days. Airport sent an email and I wasn’t even mad! Imma head over to Douro and do a wine tour if they striking — in solidarity with the workers, of course.

But I could also see Javier cuz I’d wanna call you Javi. Or any name that allowed me to call you Ty.
