I'm producing the podcast Rebel Spirit, with Akilah Hughes …
while also helping the Chicago Reader revitalize their website …
and helping run the Civic Media Fellowships at USC …
and hosting and producing the weekly podcast Says Who …
and shipping the patches I made for you …
and making stickers for the Says Who Sticker Club …
and wow that is a lot.
Four years ago I was unsuccessful in selling American Heel, a podcast about Trump and pro wrestling. Because of *waves hands in all directions* I recently revisited the two rough cuts I made and they're definitely still relevant. So I'm putting them out, rough edges and all.

I write a lot of notes in shortform social apps like Threads, Mastodon, and Bluesky. I also capture them on this site, so the platforms don't control my stuff. Here are a few. You can always look at my notes page for more.
Dunno what it means for the election but at this point it’s clear that Trump is just bucket-listing. Cosplaying at McDonalds, hanging out with The Undertaker, headlining Madison Square Garden, he’s working through his list.

I am very personally here for this moment in time when a whole bunch of tech billionares decided to very publicly punch themselves in the dick. Long may it last.
