In 2023 I became obsessed with videos of dads in cargo shortswaiting in parking lots during Taylor Swift's Eras Tour. So when she came to town, I grabbed a camera and headed down to talk to them. I thought it'd be funny. It turned out to be something else entirely.

Such an excellent example of what @hankgreen.bsky.social is so good at: converting his curiosity into learning at scale. (In this case sparked by critical feedback he’d received.) youtu.be/e4dYGdjgsz8?...

This project has been a process over the past six years of thinking “ooh THAT’s such a good song” over and over again instead of just getting the adhd diagnosis
