listen, if AOC runs for president, i will do everything i can to support her. but i am ~desperate~ for her to primary schumer. i'm so sick of losing young talent in the democratic party to presidential races, when the sustained ability to effect *truly* long-term change is very much in congress.

from a purely business perspective, "writers" who don't read are baffling. so you don't read other books in your corner of the market? so you don't know what structural innovations are happening — not in a trend way, but in a way that expands your own sense of what's creatively possible? 1/

Trump doesn’t force people to do bad things. All he did was show people they could get away with being horrible if they really wanted to, and a lot of powerful people decided they didn’t need to pretend anymore. Especially those in influential positions who could push back but did not.

one of the most WILD revelations (to me) of today's news cycle is how many people apparently never saw the "lady g" leaks that queer and trans s** workers shared about graham literal years ago. i'm queer and for me and my people, that news was EVERYWHERE, but wow, it apparently was not!
