Welcome to our new patrons – thanks so much for being here and supporting our work!
Test driving something new that I’m going to call “temp checks.” This one is me recording solo. We will start doing these live soon, but I think I wanna try some live temp check convos in the regular Mainline atmosphere first before we throw them behind tiers. The lives will be more of a community engagement space and the solo temp checks are me either answering questions or just riffing off of something from my intuition.
P.S. I am trying to sub out the word “radicalization” with “deprogramming” when it comes to us talking about our experiences of transformation and waking up, because I realized that it was predatory capitalism and white supremacy that indoctrinated us and radicalized us away from our own humanness in the first place.
I’m including short reading lists too, because I usually get inspired by something I read.
What I’m reading:
This Mother Jones article, “Slow news is good news”
This newsletter by King Williams, “Atlanta is losing the narrative”
+ this podcast episode of Strong Towns he was on in 2019, “The gentrifiers will become the gentrified”
Surviving Autocracy by Masha Gessen
