@alexis-madrigal.bsky.social I just learned about the upcoming Local Economy space you and Sarah are opening this fall, and I couldn’t be more excited! Where can I tune in to stay atop of updates? I’m gonna want to sign up for membership the second it drops 🤩

The incoming Trump presidency will mean a new wave of repression, handouts to billionaires, and attacks on workers.

Sharon Horgan is one of the greatest talents of our time. I love love love watching anything she’s put her hands on.

The only thing that will make the abysmal state of affairs that is the direction our country is headed, is knowing that I’m actively participating in the fight against authoritarianism, so I’m back here to learn and connect to being a part of movements.

Haven’t been on here in a long time, as I’ve mostly turned to Reddit to fulfill my needs for learning and laughs and general “what’s going on in the world” post-Twitter, but in the wake of everything that’s happening, I’m looking to connect to action.

I said this a year ago elsewhere, but I’ll say it again here: It's impossible to overstate how much the big tech CEOs & VCs are being radicalized within their bubble. The level of paranoia & contrived victimization is off the charts, and they increasingly only consume media that they have funded.

Beer, sunshine, and Salvadoran food. I am a happy gal.

We’ve lost the stomach to be revolutionary, clearly. We’re too comfortable in our systems to upend them even when they do severe harm, and we clearly lack the persistence to wait out the long discomfort that yield results. I’m usually an optimistic realist but…

the most annoying thing is how they think playing by the rules is a viable strategy for defeating cheaters
Seeing some twitter libs respond to the 9 lifelong appointment warlocks destroying affirmative action by yelling “elections matter” is what I imagine a using a screwdriver as a q-tip feels like

I’ve finally accepted that some people are more comfortable being miserable. That it’s my choice to decide when I’m not in the mood to deal with their gloom, and that I’m not responsible for playing a role in them being happy. Sucks though.

I haven’t been on Instagram for five years now, so the art of taking selfies and posing well for photos is completely lost to me at this point.

Was outside messing with my flowers and had no idea I was being stalked. 10/10 predator.

Been trying to workshop the most sincere and effective way to let people know that they seem to be speaking from a place of ignorance, and to pivot into an opportunity to give a different perspective.

People on Craigslist trying to sell obviously used things for “new” prices… be ffr 🥲 I’m trying to be a good human and not contribute to waste and consumerism but 😩

Wide awake b/c of a fever dream about something that actually happened today: (I’ll let you fill in some context) a woman, from behind me, helped herself to playing w/ my hair. In 2023. And I felt, as I’ve always felt, violated that a stranger feels so entitled to (an extension of) my body.
