Crucial Tracks merch launch!
I’ve got shirts, hoodies, hats, sealed vinyl, and more available to purchase on our new merch site. All proceeds from this sale will go to help pay for site costs.
Since it’s Pride, 25% of those proceeds will go to The Trevor Project this month. And I will match the first $50 of that… 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️❤️

My Reading List for 2024
Been curating a solid reading list for 2024. Here are some standouts:
Fiction:
- The Seven Moons of Maali Almeida by Shehan Karunatilaka - Magical realism meets political satire
- Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin - About friendship and game design
Non-fiction:
- Four Thousand Weeks by Oliver Burkeman - Time management philosophy that actually makes sense
- Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer - Indigenous wisdom meets botany
Currently reading The Ministry for the Future by Kim Stanley Robinson. Climate fiction that feels both urgent and hopeful.
