I think the "debate" about bringing iced coffee to job interviews is effective at distracting people from the really bad job market, the high unemployment rate for Black women, ongoing mass layoffs in tech and media, and how Gen Z workers are refusing to adopt many toxic aspects of corp work culture

See also: writing about war, family, slavery, love, hope, whatever…someone smarter & more talented than you has already done it, so just do your own thing. And make it not suck.

@danielkraus.com I just saw the trailer for “Whalefall.” I don’t think I can adequately express what that book means to me. It altered me fundamentally. I read it exactly when I needed it. I’m so excited for this movie and will be adding the poster to my office.
