They are arresting people on the streets, terminating their visas, and disappearing them for writing things they disagree with. This is where we are. Two months in. Right now. If you think they won’t begin coming after citizens soon, you are mistaken.

Love this. Seems that folks are conflating “learning” for all sorts of tips, tricks, tools, and data points. It’s dangerous oversimplification. @adamgrant.bsky.social gets it right by describing learning as an always dynamic process with only dependent variables.

It takes curiosity to learn. It takes courage to unlearn.
Learning requires the humility to admit what you don't know today. Unlearning requires the integrity to admit that you were wrong yesterday.
Learning is how you evolve. Unlearning is how you keep up as the world evolves.

Vote with your dollars, too. Let’s be honest, your money will do more in the next few years than your vote did. (I’m making the leap here that y’all didn’t vote for the felon).

We all agree that part of the tactics for this first week of the First Felon was to exhaust us and make us question our own agency, right?
I beg of you, fellow empathetic humans, please notice what brings you back into your own power and do more of that.

A functioning opposition party would already be making ads arguing that Trump and his minions are pro-cancer.
Instead, we get conciliatory moves towards cooperation with evil.

NIH is the largest single funder of cancer research in the world. This is already a disaster and we’re on day two.

I’d like to see a little less focus on the future of work, and a little more on the future of life. Are they entangled? Absolutely. But I think we’re confusing means and ends.

Anyone else feel like a pendulum swinging?
Anyone else trying different approaches just to see which moves us a little bit further along?
Anyone else feel iterative exhaustion?

Hey yall. 2024 was tough. 2025 feels scary. Let’s admit that it’s already been a rough start.
In an effort to remain sane, healthy as possible, engaged but not despaired, I’ve decided to go on a Curiosity Tour for 2025.
