Editor, artist, etc, bad at being a person on the internet. A lil bit silly. A lil bit goofy.

I'm hoping to rely less on some of those other apps and find a home here, which feels a little daunting since I've been elsewhere for so long and here for so little time! But here's a bit about me to kick things off.

Yes! The difference between a report and a story is the perspective the author provides.
Nonfiction isn’t just about what happened.
It’s about why it matters. If your draft is heavy on facts but light on insight, the reader walks away informed—but unmoved.

it makes sense that I love both CA and NJ because NJ looks like a little backward cut out of NJ (by transitive property, CA looks like a large backward cut out of NJ). two complicated messy ass states that have my heart.

When I dream in Spanish, I often pause (in dream) to consider if I used the right grammar.
When I used to dream in French or Mandarin, I'd often pause (in dream) to be amazed that I could put together a sentence. I'd struggle to remember the exact words when I woke up.

Storytime!
Have you ever dreamed in a language you were learning? What was it like? How did you feel about it?

Everything is crap, but I did remember to buy some music from Bandcamp on this Bandcamp Friday (cheers to The Tisburys and Bill Fox!).

Nothing has replenished my love for music like #Bandcamp has. I've been introduced to so many sounds, albums, ideas in the past several months and have incorporated albums into my budget again. Spotify flattened music into something to be consumed; Bandcamp celebrates process and creativity. 💛

🧵 There are a lot of misleading claims out there about the SAVE Act. Let me set the record straight: I voted for the SAVE Act for the simple reason that American elections are for Americans. Requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote is common sense.

Some of my favorite colors in my chaos garden this morning. Oxalis usually drives me mad, but when it's not competing with the rest of the plants, I don't mind it. 🌱

on the other hand, when I'm fidgety at work, wouldnt it be more productive to go outside and play in the garden and run as far away from the desk as I can, until I can't even remember what a computer is or was

In a town hall with my rep. Someone asked if the Dems have a plan. He said "we're working on it, and we need you to be loud." He discussed town halls in neighboring districts and infrastructure acts in process. He (fondly) called us The Opposition. This guy's listening. You talking to your reps?

One of the major hurdles that social movements face right now is creating space that bring together various currents in mass numbers, creating a strong poll within society that can push back against rising authoritarianism.
@djpressman.bsky.social, Soha Hammam, and I draw on our research through the Crowd Counting Consortium to show that there is far more protest happening in the US than is commonly understood, and that the shift to economic noncooperation shows powerful potential for future collective action.
Resistance is alive and well in the United States
Protests of Trump may not look like the mass marches in 2017, but they're far more numerous and frequent — and also becoming more strategic.
