I always have a lot going on,
here's what I'm doing now:
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 and stickers I made for you …
while also making stickers for the Says Who Sticker Club …
and wow that is a lot.
My most recent blog posts

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.
