It’s finally happened. After 18 months. Finally, a media merger you can root for.
Can't wait for this!
some things about becoming a parent are radicalizing in ways I expected - e.g being reminded viscerally how screwed we'd all be if childcare and other care work disappeared. but other things are radicalizing in ways I didn't - like experiencing constant spontaneous solidarity in ways big and small

Picked up almost 1000 followers this weekend, simply because I posted that we should read books together and talk about them. Something is happening out there.
