Whew. This was a month. đŸ„”

It was PRIDE month đŸłïžâ€đŸŒˆ, a rogue Supreme Court overturned Roe v Wade, inflation soared and we learned that the U.S. will likely sink into recession, Cassidy Hutchinson dropped bombshells in her Jan 6 testimony, my mom came to DC for a visit, and I celebrated my 37th birthday.

I’m new to TikTok so for the month of June, I challenged myself to post at least one TikTok video per day. My account grew from 77 to 333 followers this month as a result. I could grow faster if I posted 4-5x per day but sustainability & consistency are key. (If you’re on TikTok, please follow me!)

Tunes

House music is back bay-bee!

Turns out the vibe shift was inflation and the return of house music.

BeyoncĂ© saw that it was the summer of late-millennial burnout, the labor movement, ‘90s revival, and queer pride and was like, “Yeah, I can make a song about that”

Imagine spending your twilight years sitting in your "cottage" that has accrued something like 15x in value since purchasing it, putting all of your energy into preventing your grandchildren (and everyone else) from being able to have housing nearby.
Twilight of the NIMBYSuburban homeowners like Susan Kirsch are often blamed for worsening the nation’s housing crisis. That doesn’t mean she’s giving up her two-decade fight against 20 condos.nytimes.com

“In this way you must understand how laughable it is to say, ‘Tell me what to do!’ What advice could I possibly give? No, a far better request is, ‘Train my mind to adapt to any circumstance’
In this way, if circumstances take you off script
you won’t be desperate for a new prompting.” — Epictitus, Discourses

The breeze at dawn has secrets to tell you.

Don’t go back to sleep.

You must ask for what you really want.

Don’t go back to sleep.

People are going back and forth across the doorsill

where the two worlds touch.

The door is round and open.

Don’t go back to sleep.

I found myself within a dark woods

This is unsustainable. Does anyone care how people are living? Struggling? And most of these places resist affordable housing developments, have sizable populations of color, and do not pay a living wage.

Important thread đŸ§” The GOP knows their policies are unpopular but are pursuing them with full teeth anyway. Why are they acting as if they’re no longer bound by democratic contraints? Because they’re not planning for America to stay a democracy. https://t.co/EnOCNvgzeB

Rick Petree @RickPetree

They are acting, instead, like a party freed of the natural constraints imposed, in a democratic system, by the need to reconcile conflicting points of view. They are acting like they're not in that system any more. Because they are not.
