You've just ruined my life with the idea of a "Don't Trust the B" Christmas special, I'll think about it from time to time for like years. This is Freaks & Geeks all over again.

Dumb true thing: I recently discovered "Don't Trust the B" on Netflix during an extremely difficult time in my life. Escaping into great TV was something that I used frequently to keep from completely giving up when the PTSD was exceptionally bad, & this show was one that was particularly great for me to do that. I just wanted you to know that the thing you've dedicated your life to doing helped me a lot when I really needed it. Thanks, man.

I've no idea how to say this in a way that won't sound...not quite right but here goes: do you feel like there's any "culture" that you've missed out on by not being raised in a family of color? If so, is there anything your actual adoptive parents could have done to mitigate that? I ask b/c I really want to foster and/or adopt an older child in a few years, & I don't plan to be picky about race. But even though I'm like, ultra-white, I grew up outside my own culture (I'm Irish by birth, & yes, I get that being Irish & black are not super similar), & always found it a bit lonely. I'd like to be able to give a child who needs a home a safe & stable family (like your parents obviously did), but I'd also like to make sure they...know their own? I'd want them to feel confident no matter where they are. argh, I hope this makes sense.

also, I remember your proposal post awhile back, I generally dislike cute things but it was very sweet; congrats on your engagement!

As someone currently coping w/uncontrolled epilepsy, i find someone of your stature & experience including neuroscience in this answer incredibly reassuring. Thank you for your amazing contribution to the world.
