I am barely on here anymore but figured I should let you all know that I have a podcast now??? It's a weekly political analysis show from a movement perspective, and...I actually think we're having conversations you don't hear often. Find #BlockAndBuild in all the pod places.

@mahfammaybe ngl the only reason I keep this account is pure spite

On this day in 2020, I got swatted for my username on this stupid website. AMA.

Should I start reposting @_convergencemag stories here? I haven't been on this website in a hot second for, uh. Reasons. But if it'd help surface our publishing for you...yeah I might just.

@bhaviklathia @Oaklandside/@berkeleyside are doing really good stuff in the East Bay.

@mo87mo87 I remember when this first started and my friends who used mobility aids or had babies in strollers were just like, constantly posting pictures of heaps of them just...in the sidewalk. No way around. A shitshow.

Can't remember which but one of these companies pays people like pennies to recharge the scooters too. Good riddance. Truly hope someone strips them all for parts.

One day a few years ago, this and other companies dropped hundreds of these scooters in every American city without warning or regulation. Hundreds of people have died using these. Thousands have been injured. Who knows how many other accidents they've caused.

Also here's a picture of my cat. I think we covered most of the bases.

In more personal news I PR'ed my squat and deadlift this week. This is big because I feel like I've FINALLY truly recovered from spraining my ankle real bad in 2021.

@_convergencemag @mo87mo87 @wlawren90 @StrikeDebt @ChallengeIneq #Hegemonicon with @wlawren90 is about how power works, and what we might do about it. He & guests - who've been doing The Work in various ways for years - talk about how we got here and how we can orient towards the intensifying crises of the near future. convergencemag.com/podcast/design…

@_convergencemag @mo87mo87 @wlawren90 #Indebted opens with a stunner: @mo87mo87 talking about his new baby's first piece of mail -- an astronomical hospital bill for his own birth. Also featuring Hannah Appel of @StrikeDebt/@ChallengeIneq. It's a real barnburner of a first episode. convergencemag.com/podcast/forgiv…

Logged into Twitter for the first time in months to share @_convergencemag's two new podcasts which premiered this week: #Indebted, with @mo87mo87, and #Hegemonicon with @wlawren90 are available wherever you get your pods.

Okay. I logged back in to Twitter just to tell you I made a podcast with @pastorsandhya about Avatar: the Last Airbender and you can listen to the first TWO episodes now wherever you get your pods. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ben…
