I always have a lot going on,
here's what I'm doing now:
I'm writing I HATE THOSE MASKED BASTARDS! for Haymarket Books …
while hosting and producing the weekly podcast Says Who …
and helping run the Civic Media Fellowships at USC …
and printing and shipping whistles (... & counting) all over the country with a crew of awesome people …
and shipping merch I make for you …
and also making stickers for the Says Who Sticker Club …
and OK that's enough.
My most recent blog posts
Today the crew of weirdo printers that I call the whistle goblins passed a half-million whistles printed and shipped. I wrote about how we got there and how you can start printing whistles yourself.

My most recent notes
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.

Just had to scrap a whole blog post highlighting a bunch of rad signpainters because Instagram doesn't allow inline playback of reels, instead the "embed" function is basically just a gigantic box with a link back to Instagram. We used to have a functional web and we gave it all away for nothing.
