⚡️disrupting the status bro ⚡️

community builder. dot connector. former founder turned VC. non-binary babe. future ghost.
Just organizing the pantry, blasting Three Dog Night, irate about being out of nutritional yeast on a Saturday night, just like our hippie-ass aunties intended.

Does anyone else feel the sudden intense need to sob out of nowhere and then you remember the timeline we’re living through right now and know you’re not alone which simultaneously steadies you while breaking your heart into weeping shards?

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts?

Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from.

Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!
2025 Trans Girl Scouts To Order Cookies From!
This year, consider ordering your Girl Scout cookies from a trans girl scout to make their day!

One of the reasons I love working with early stage founders? The curiosity and endless possibilities.

Will this even work? Does anyone want to use this? What would people pay for this? Who is this for? How can we make this better?

Yes yes yes yes yes more please!

Are the odds better or worse for a team name change if Kansas City goes to and wins another Super Bowl?

I’m from KC, and it’s past time to change the name. Follow the work here and tell your NFL and Swiftie pals. notinourhonor.com

I finished season 2 of Bad Sisters and have a giant gaping hole in my life for nuanced depictions of family love that isn’t my actual life:”.

A while back I asked folks why they’re joining Bluesky and the most common response I saw was, “I just want a good place to get my news” and, yall, no. Bad.

Honestly, I feel like the best thing to do right now is to remind yourself that you're not alone and be amongst people who have actual moral integrity.

So much this week is utter trash, but it snowed in Atlanta and my indoor cat begged to go prance in it for all 5.2 seconds so now I know that my heart will go on.

How long can I get away with only using the Sven voice from Frozen to communicate with my family?

Cannot stop thinking about how Octavia Butler wrote a book in 1993 about climate change. It opens with deadly fires in LA in 2025. In the story, a fascist President has just won office with the campaign slogan "Make America Great Again."

She was a modern day Nostradamus. If only we'd listened.

After the shooting, someone said a lot of the CEO’s are afraid to return to work.

Read that and now think about how our school-aged kids feel!

Anecdotally proven that every morning person is a fall/winter and is night owls live for late spring through peak summer.

That hear me out trend, but only for your most confidently harebrained DIY ideas you pitch your partner at the end of the day.

Need an example? Me explaining how building mini wall-mounted steps along our stairwell is both stylish and responsible pet ownership.

I made the mac and cheese this year and while it wasn’t perfect, I think I’ve successfully unseated the plastic cheese pasta soup that reigned for far, far too long at these family dinners.

Please don’t tell my mom.
