Re: my decision not to report the all-expenses-paid trip that I made to the Vlad Dracul Institute For Liberty And Innovation's annual conference in Gstaad, this was a personal trip with personal friends. It had no bearing on my decision in the Amalgamated Bone Slurry Corp. vs. Poisoned Town case.

i'm writing a blog that answers the common Qs young people looking to start a career in progressive data ask me. i no longer have the capacity to meet with every person that reaches out to me, so I'm sharing my best nuggets of advice for free and becoming more strict with my pro bono availability

part of me regrets not trying to build an audience (like a newsletter) independent of twitter. it could have pushed me to take my writing more seriously and i would have been able to develop a community on my own terms

i used to think theory was beyond me, that i wasn’t smart enough to read all those seminal books, but now i understand how important theory is for grounding yourself in a coherent ideology in order to navigate the bullshit that is politics, and i’m hungry for more

i absolutely obliterated my brain in 2020 by rapidly alternating between tik tok insta and twitter 6 hours a day to manage my covid anxiety—smoothed out all my lobes and have myself a nice phone dependency. today i read for 1.5 hours straight go me
