I run Portland Burrito Brigade, every month we make a few hundred burritos for people who are homeless, food insecure or just hungry. We're volunteer managed and powered by donations. If you feel so inclined, our cost per meal is about $1, donations of any size make a big difference! bit.ly/4n05nN0

I just came across this Gébé quote that is more or less how I feel about this: "you need a lot of utopia to start with because it cooks down". Like yes things got kind of silly on Tumblr but imo it's probably a net gain to throw a whole bunch of lefty ideas out there and see what sticks
people mock the excesses of 2010s SJ activism without acknowledging they were basically right about everything

The NYT Magazine asked me and @caseynewton.bsky.social to open their AI issue by talking about how we use AI, why it's not going away, and how you can't be a serious critic if you're in denial about how useful it is. Bluesky's gonna love this one!
