iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

The thing about making a decision that will change your WHOLE LIFE is that the what-could-be, and the what-ifs are usually much more exciting to think about than assessing what is true right now. I offered a prompt for this on Queer & Trans Wealth today www.queerandtranswealth.org/p/how-my-wif...

I left the US for good. Here's a crucial tool that helped my wife and I make the big decision.

It starts with naming what's true right now.

I’ve received an infusion every June and December for the last six years. So, imagine my surprise a health system based on science gave me six+ weeks of my life back. open.substack.com/pub/groverwe...

I had a great conversation last week with Elizabeth Sellick La Rue about our workbook, "Should I Stay or Should I Go?" and what to consider when making a decision about whether or not to leave the US. You can watch our full conversation here: open.substack.com/pub/groverwe...

In the midst of a long summer of big change, I had the pleasure of participating in an interview series with Hanne Blank Boyd as part of her newsletter "Reasons Not to Quit." The questions were refreshing, much like her newsletter. open.substack.com/pub/rntq/p/n...

I went to this Jeffrey Gibson exhibit at @massmoca.bsky.social last weekend and it was Gay-mazing. Really the feeling of being IN queerness in a way I haven’t felt in a long while.

The heart of the issue isn't how liberals talk. It's that modern liberalism has a fundamental commitment to social egalitarianism that far-right leaders cannot accept, to the point where they will torpedo democracy to fight it. Miss this difference, and you misunderstand the whole issue.

I'm just sitting at home recording today's podcast and not buying any damn thing. That's easy for me as a work-from-home person with everything I need right here. But I'm curious what could be if millions of us continue to have days of withholding our swipes from big business. #economicblackout

During a GOP town hall at Coeur d'Alene High School, Teresa Borrenpohl called out, “Is this a lecture or a town hall?” Witnesses said three unidentified men, who were not wearing badges or ID, then physically removed from her seat by order of the Idaho county sheriff.
