A new chapter at the Recurse Center
I just left my job of roughly 3 1/2 years last Friday to go be a massive nerd at the Recurse Center (a self-directed programming retreat in downtown Brooklyn) and I could not be more excited about it.

Wrote (my first blog post ever) about finally taking the leap to attend the Recurse Center!
This is your sign to quit your job and do the things you've been meaning to do if you have the means, it feels really good

God bless whoever put up this pro-upzoning poster in Edgewater, please put up more
![A flier taped to a streetlight pole that reads:
“I also have access to a printer,

Upzoning is cool and good and it is my friend
Let ‘em build some housing! What're you worried about, people with jobs and homes using the Red Line?
Atraid of density? then why did you move to the big city my good friend [emoji making a ‘this guy’s nuts!’ gesture]

This @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social video is absolutely INCREDIBLE. The numbers he cites, the strategy and results they produced — it’s the future. When have you heard *any* campaign talk about this, ever? (Video split in 2 to fit in Bluesky’s limits)

The US is becoming to akin to apartheid-era South Africa, where racialized groups needed a "passbook" to travel from one part of the country to the other. Who brings a passsport with them when they are traveling domestically?
Oh wow. Lanes on I-10 narrowed suddenly, forcing ALL drivers to exit at a weigh station.
A makeshift checkpoint—digital sign read: “Have Passport Ready”
1 of like 12 ICE agents, all standing around—in full military gear—ordered me to open my window:
“You a U.S. citizen?”
“Uh yes” then let me go..

This is a budget for a declaration of total war on the population. It's the building of an army of blackshirts and the creation of a massive system of concentration camps.
A crystallization of everything lurking below the surface of the American project.

If the GOP reconciliation bill passes, ICE gets through FY2029:
- $45 billion for detention, on top of the current annual budget of $3.4 billion
- $14.4 billion for transportation and removal, on top of the current annual budget of $750 million
- $8 billion for hiring/retention
- Billions more.

I pitched the NYT on this and they passed cause "all democrats are good with LGBTQ people"
Zohran Mamdani is the only democrat in the mayoral race that released an LGBTQ platform and the only democrat in the country (that I know of) to commit to safeguarding gender affirming care for youth + adults with $$.

I recently open sourced my YouTube feed reader Serial, designed to be a minimal and snappy alternative to monitoring your subscriptions through YouTube. It's helped me cut down on the "oh god, where did the day go" time on YouTube, so I thought I'd get over my hesitance to self-promote and share –
