All the real action is in my subscriptions tab and I’m very choosy about following YouTube channels 🤷🏾‍♀️ It’s actually quite a delightful experience on the app for me.

And I have my youtube watch history off, so the home page is blank. I literally have to search for anything I want to see.

It’s true: I never have “free time”. There’s only the time I make for people and things that matter. Yes, respect people’s time and all that, but the first part in particular… One of the things that gives me anxiety nowadays is how hard it is to “fit everyone in” who I want to spend time with.

Quote: I am never free… I make time… Respect my time when I give it to you.

I'm a nerd with a lot of interests, so expect to see all kinds of stuff from me. But I mostly tend to use this app to unpack big ideas about systems change, tech and startups, human behavior, and building communities.

A stack of books: the self illusion, human scale, color of law, collective courage, thinking in systems, crucial influence, where do we go from here, meaningful inefficiencies

Back to this gem from @polotek.bsky.social: I would go a step beyond what he’s saying to add that even the fairy tales are still mostly centered around the world that folks DON’T WANT vs what could be born from our own hopes and dreams when we feel free to imagine.

Marco Rogers: “I fully agree that we need a better class of Democrat at the national level. You won't hear me argue that at all.

What I am saying is that a lot of folks have built up fairy tales in their heads about what's supposed to be happening and what it's supposed to look like.”

There’s this quote from the comment of an blog that I will never forget, I used to post it frequently on Twitter…

“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit:

There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.”

Facts on facts. Y’all, WE are the cavalry. Organize, organize, organize. Organizing is the challenge of our time, and also… any hope for a world where everyone can thrive and we stop hurtling toward humanity’s extinction relies on it.

My fellow zebra and friend Sassy created and maintained a “free store” in her Berkeley neighborhood for years — it’s been one of the most inspiring acts of love and community I’ve ever seen. @polotek and I have just been notified that someone burned it down yesterday. 💔
