Dan Sinker/now

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 producing season two of the award-winning Rebel Spirit podcast …

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.

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.

Did two kick-ass interviews for the next season of Rebel Spirit today, including perhaps one of my favorite quotes ever: "One of my hobbies is killing dead confederates." Yes, sign me up for that hobby as well.
