quote of the month

[Blake Burge @blakeaburge]

Underrated life advice: Make yourself easy to root for. Be kind. Be reliable. Celebrate other people’s wins. Work hard without complaining. Carry good energy into rooms. You'll be shocked by how many doors open for you by making life better for others.

[Eddie Gonzalez @bansky]

i love working in media/content (unfortunately they're the same box now lol). we get to do a lot of great things and go to a lot of great places and meet amazing people and form great bonds.

but this job market is so volatile and the reality is you and some of your closest friends will have to deal with this no matter how talented they are or how great the work is. send some kindness their way today. I've been there. the likelihood is I'll be there again one day in the continued pursuit of these dreams.

it sucks. but i know the talent will prevail. the good work still matters and there's still a place in this weird world for great and impactful journalism and we'll need those incredible talented people to do that work and those opportunities will come. keep your heads up everybody who was impacted by the job cuts today. cant wait to see how you bounce back and keep winning!

As the son of an undocumented immigrant (my mom overstayed an au pair visa for years before marrying my dad, a U.S. citizen), it’s deeply personal: Reddit wouldn’t exist if ICE had come for her.

I do think border security matters. But it shouldn’t come at the cost of crushing lives. A sensible amnesty / legalization policy (like what Reagan offered in 1986!!) could strike a better balance:

Path to citizenship for law-abiding, hard-working undocumented immigrants <<after background checks, waiting periods, and meeting clear standards>>.

Order and accountability; those who don’t step forward for the pathway should face enforcement under due process.

This isn’t open borders, it’s smart borders + humane immigration reform.

The guys up at the crack of dawn in the Home Depot parking lot <<looking for work>> or the women hustling their home-made food on the corner are <<exactly>> the men & women we want contributing to this great nation. We shouldn't be rounding them up at gunpoint.

People talk about finances in a relationship as if both people are going to always be an able bodied gainfully employed person. People get laid off, hurt, the economy happens. You might not play the same role as the start, and you may need to bounce back from the unimaginable.
