“You know, some people just won’t understand
how we stay out and dance for hours,
Then I just let them know that,
It’s really not partying
It’s more like group therapy
It’s good for our mind
It’s good for our body
It’s good for the soul
Welcome to group therapy”

I spent last week at the #DCAutoShow calling on to stop its anti-climate lobbying and commit to a zero-emission future 🚘⚡️
