https://journa.host/@AndreaPitze...I wrote about what else you can do right now other than protest, and new ways to think about cautionary words you've heard a thousand times. What if we read them not as a warning but as *strategy*? https://degenerateart.beehiiv.com/p/unbreaking-things

https://journa.host/@AndreaPitze...I wrote about going down to the USAID building yesterday in the District to see what elected officials would do, to talk to workers shut out of their offices, and to figure out what it all means for how we might turn this tsunami and send it back out to sea.

https://journa.host/@AndreaPitze...The year I turned ten, my mother and stepfather joined Amway. Our lives spiraled into unreality, and we lost everything. I never got my mother back. Our experience prefigured the Trump era, with characters from my childhood later showing up in the White House. I wrote all about it for The Atlantic.

https://journa.host/@AndreaPitze...I wrote about going to Capitol Hill yesterday to talk to Trump supporters, and also about to going to DC's AME church for their MLK memorial. It was a bizarre experience, from which I hope I drew some useful conclusions beyond mere spectatorship.

Seven or eight years old at the time, he thought only of 4-H and state festivals; it would take years for that arrow to hit its mark."
