Probably the only reason I haven't (yet) run screaming into the night away from my job as Aftermath's money guy is how exciting I find it to connect with people bringing leftist ideas to how money can work, and finding people who can teach me things without asking me to check my values at the door

Back to me: There are a lot of things about this job that I really like. There's an increasingly big network of leftist finance people who are really invested (no pun intended) in changing this system that we live in. We don't like it. We want it to change, but money is a very useful tool to have in the system that we live in. It allows us to take care of ourselves and the communities we care about, families and chosen families. So looking at ways to, as ethically as possible, manage what we have, increase what we have, and build resources, that's really interesting to me. So I do see continuing on this path.

Freelancers of Bluesky, this week’s Scratch newsletter features a long talk with an anonymous author/tax preparer about how our system sets us up to feel extraordinary shame, stress, and guilt around taxes. (This post will always remain unpaywalled, because we think it’s that important.)

Her family owned the aviation company at the airport Epstein used, gave Ghislaine Maxwell housing after her father died, introduced Epstein to his plea deal lawyer & to Prince Andrew, & she joined Deutsche Bank’s advisory board just before they accepted Epstein as a client despite his conviction.

The Woman Nobody Asks About Is the Person Connecting Every Thread of the Epstein Network

Lynn Forester de Rothschild connects the Clintons, British royalty, the legal protection apparatus, banking infrastructure, and the physical transportation network. She has never been questioned.
