To close out this thought, since it's still a cloud over my head: every interaction I've had with folks in the media who understand the difference has been both pleasant and educational, and I hope that feeling was mutual. I want more of that, and that was the main point of this rant-ish post.

I'll be on the lookout for my Verified Care Package, I hear they throw waffle mix in there

Oh wow, okay 😳

I get it - there's a generation of journalists who got rug-pulled with pivot after pivot, restructuring the media into a click-friendly hell.

We also got the rug pulled. We were also told we were doing something positive, only to realize it's not true.

We're doing our best not to repeat history.

Honestly get really sad when folks in the media paint all of tech like Big Tech while also telling us not to paint all of media like Mainstream Media.

I try to keep my head down and focus on the work, but productive collaboration is key to taking down the worst of both our industries.

A huge thank you to the Bluesky team, and congrats to all the other well-deserved grantees!

Excited to see the ATmosphere continue to flourish in 2026 and beyond πŸ™πŸΌπŸš€
