The feminine urge to go out for a pack of cigarettes

Is anyone in a successful IRL book club? What's the secret?

RETVRN

Scrolling back through my old posts whispering "kill your darlings" to all the under-appreciated bangers.

Tired: Social media is toxic for teens Wired: Social media is toxic for boomers

Me to the unabomber: I ain’t reading all that. I’m happy for u tho…or sorry that happened

Hot take: If your manifesto was a little better written you could probably get people to read it without doing any major crimes. Get an editor, not a gun.

I told my sister I'm forcing myself to close all my tabs to start the New Year off right. Her response? "I don't have to do that, I have tab discipline." 💀

What if I only do cool fun stuff in 2026?

I have the exact right amount of anguish for someone alive in this context.

I'd love to take my kid somewhere to watch Terminator 2 on a big screen

He can't imagine a goddamn thing.

Speaking of print. Incredible things are happening in the Crown Heights Community Newsletter

My anti-tech, anti-Ai, pro-human project for 2026 will be a hyper local Brooklyn magazine (you are invited to contribute). I am having a lot of fun reading about the history of US magazines. Did you know that a New Yorker writer invented the "profile?"

Joined a mass call for Zohran volunteers (campaign grads) and someone asked what DSA is and I love that for us.

Please stop posting free content for some of the most malignant forces against peace and justice in this world.

My kid created a flag for every month. Happy December.

It happened. After 27 years online I've scrolled to the bottom of entire internet and can finally log off.

It's cool to see people I know from Palestine and climate organizing on the Zohran transition team. What if something good is happening?

What is the least evil crypto currency? Some of us need to be underground

Parents, educators, tech and ed policy fans--See you on Dec 6th. Register if you can make it or to get sent the recording. act.climatefamilies.org/ai-in-school...

Someone did F-M-K apple pie, pecan pie pumpkin pie as a meeting icebreaker and honestly it was a wild ride

I know I'm wrong for this but ghosting is so much cooler than saying goodbye.

Strongly considering logging off for 2026....

Organizing this for Sunday. I think we can make you laugh and cry. Like super cry. RSVP act.climatefamilies.org/parenting-in...

My goal in activism is to only do cute things that entertain and delight the participants (yes, even the rude teens had fun)

I'm going to need to see the crying guy.

What would it take to make this happen?

People (incl me) talk about leaving Meta but I don't know a better platform than Instagram for sharing out events and actions--a minor celeb can post your fundraising link and raise $3K in a day. Also I struggle to follow all the happenings of all the chats on Signal way more than WhatsApp.

There's honestly too much shit happening.

i drew the effigy of sam altman and ripped it to shreds 😌😌😌😌

Blessed to be one of 100+ attendees at the 2nd Luddite tribunal at Starr Bar last night. Highlight: Someone brought an effigy of Sam Altman and ripped it to shreds. Other highlight: Talking to a new pal about social media and finally processing what the point of discord is.

This one is just for me

"i asked grok" "i asked chatgpt" yeah well i asked carl sagan and he said the greatest enemy of knowledge is not ignorance but the illusion of knowledge 🧪

Jay jacobs retire bitch

I made a few of these for an event we're doing. Does anyone relate? #climatefeelings

So happy to tell my kids we won this morning (like many they hated canvassing but love winning)

My politics are free childcare free palestine

I stand by this

Dusting this one off

What are low-information voters in NYC seeing right now? Most people on this website aren't getting the same social media and ads that random NYers are experiencing. Is Fix The City doing just wall-to-wall Islamophobia on facebook? I want to know!

Two people have recently asked me how I stay optimistic in 2025. Bro, this isn't optimism, it's the grimmest determination you've ever seen.

Do I dare...?

GOOD.

Has anyone else noticed there's no prize for being right?

That Sora AI allows (encourages?) video deepfakes of Sam Altman doing crimes leads me to believe there are real videos of him doing crimes that he will someday claim are deepfakes. Yes, I am aware of the old allegations against him.

I'd like to take a sabbatical from life
