@ventcity.bsky.social just finished your latest episode — I find Alex’s work situation fascinating. How does it feel to work on something like Tacky and Rumble-backed SLS? How do we draw ethical lines in our work? Is there a path for ethical careers under capitalism? Is skateboarding one of them?

Who says it's got to make money in order for skate culture to be vibrant? And what does it mean that skateboarding has to keep reaching outside of itself for help, always struggling to sell our weird hobby to normies? God's a rollerblader, y'all.
