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.

I wrote about how, at a moment where so much insane shit is happening and so many people are trying to deny it, writing it down is a radical act: dansinker.com/posts/202...

The fun thing is I'm completely ignoring that I lost half my income two weeks ago. This should work out well.

I am begging you: if you are writing a thread of more than a couple posts, get a blog. I don't mean this in a mean way. I mean: allow this thought to continue to exist, outside of this platform, in an actually coherent, readable format that sticks around for longer than 20 minutes. You deserve it!

So basically a weird creep is signing a never-ending pile of decrees drafted by other weird creeps which will be implemented and enforced by yet more weird creeps.

Seeing Chicago stand up against ICE this week reminded me of why I love this city so much, and gave me a focal point for a reflection on the 50th issue of Punk Planet, which was dedicated to the city. Read it: dansinker.com/posts/202... text that reads In Chicago, you do your work in an honest fashion. You don't fuck people over. You treat people with the respect and the honestly you would want them to treat you with. In Chicago, you do your work because it's the work that defines you. If you can go home knowing that you made an honest wage, you can go home proud.
