columbus got lost, found a whole new continent, and then thought ‘perfect spot for a genocide.’ history’s first, fucked and worst travel influencer

Wanted to re intro, since a few folks didn’t realise this about me but - I’m a damned proud transgender journalist, writer, and creator. My work has been published in places like Wired, TIME, The Next Web etc. Through my own publication @ Westenberg, I cover tech, politics, and online culture. 🏳️‍⚧️

Fuck going on Joe Rogan, Kamala Harris should beat these white dudes at their own game by starting a podcast

if taylor swift ACTUALLY cared about climate change she’d block out the sun with a giant cardboard cutout of her face, cooling the Earth by 2 degrees

how it started vs how it’s going

Take it from a recovering alcoholic: if you’re trying to build habits, don’t start with a fancy habit-tracking app. Grab a notebook, a pen, and focus on tracking just one habit for 30 days. Simplicity wins every time

this stupidity of this shit truly cheese-grates my fucking spleen

Twitter is literally just 48 crypto dudes in matching Temu aviators paying $8 a month to LARP as ‘thought leaders’ in the comments of a Burger King promo

Fight Club is a satire of dudes who love Fight Club and I just think that’s beautiful

If you have ever signed me up for your email list without my permission you do not deserve to have access to the internet and should in fact burn in hell

Anyone who says they can tell the difference between Monday, Asana, Miro, Notion, Trello, ClickUp, and Airtable is either a cult member or a shareholder
