My entire timeline is doom and gloom and heavy think pieces. Who should I be following / where should I be going for fun Bluesky? Artsy Bluesky? Real Housewives Bluesky?

Its so hard for people to even imagine different ways of doing business. Art makes that imagination possible... It creates the space where we can start to see different systems as entirely possible. #CultureFix

There's something especially attractive about people who are so secure in themselves and their work that they consistently choose authenticity and relationship-building over clout-chasing and name-dropping.

Folks ask me all the time about the secret to success in the music business, and honestly, letting go of perfectionism is a huge part of it. @bigsto.bsky.social and I talked about it on Office Hours not too long ago: m.youtube.com/watch?v=zgW7...

I cant wrap my head around men who swear they support women and are safe spaces… but will still work with folks who are known predators “because of the clout”.

Just saying this again: The funniest thing about "Gulf of America" is that the Americas include South, Central, and North America. So it's actually kind of a more inclusive name that still includes Mexico. Defeated the whole point of what he was trying to do 😂

Traditionally, we think of leadership as loud, direct, and aggressive, but that’s rooted in patriarchal, white supremacist, colonialism. True leadership listens actively, shares power, creates spaces for everyone to participate, is responsive to the needs of the most marginalized. #spiritchat

There is a difference between helping, fixing, and serving, and that difference sits in how you approach power. This short article by Rachel Naomi Remen is a must-read. #spiritchat www.mentalhealthsf.org/wp-content/u...

Self-care is important, but many hide behind it to avoid the difficult work of owning their privilege and redistributing their power. Community care and service work isn’t always supposed to feel good because it’s not supposed to be about you and your ego. #spiritchat

In dating app news, I asked a guy how he was challenging the patriarchy and he responded by asking me if I was “capable of being with a man” 🤦🏽‍♀️

Even in the worst times, people gathered, friendships sustained, and community prevailed. Don't let them make you think it's hopeless. We fight and we keep fighting, not just for ourselves but for each other.

This only works if speakers are representative of their audiences. Most of the time, they’re not. So not only do they speak from a power and privilege that’s not relatable, their “advice” isn’t realistic or applicable.
