- Reposted by Cat WeiTesla stock is down 14% since close of markets last Friday. What happened during that time? One answer: mass protests. I describe what it was like at one such protest. What I saw fulfills what I describe as neuroscience-based requirements for effective action. samwang.substack.com/p/the-effect...
- Thank you @versedaily.bsky.social for featuring my poem “Ode to America” first published by @glasspoetry.bsky.social - I first wrote it in 2021 and sometimes wondered later if it was too angry. But it’s a diagnosis. Now we have to make things better by moving toward the real dream of a collective.

- Reposted by Cat Wei“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.” ― J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring
