Dan Sinker/notes

Most of the time my thoughts aren't long enough for a blog post. My shortform notes get posted on Mastodon and Bluesky, and also wind up here.

If you are traveling this week, consider listeing to Rebel Spirit. 10 incredible episodes about how change really happens. Hilarious and maddening and really, really good. I mean I helped make it so I'm biased (but it is). podcasts.apple.com/us/podcas...
