i love everything about this and CONGRATS on 5 years!!! your insights have always been so thoughtful and sharp because you create that space to critically think and analyze. how refreshing!

i have gotten clients & hired people for my consulting business bc of link in bio. i tell everyone who works on the internet to subscribe.

(also we need to finally meet up IRL one of these days!!!)

You're so young! Congratulations on the anniversary. I smiled when you talked about how perception around the world—make that industry—of social media has shifted over the years. I remember when I launched Twitter, and my editors (at legacy media companies) told me to close if I wanted to be taken seriously.

This is why people keep coming back. It feels useful, grounded, and actually close to the real work, not just the noise around the industry. Congrats on building something so trusted over time.
