The hatred of disco at the end of the 70s (ppl literally burned albums!) is directly rooted in homophobia, racism, and misogyny.

For anyone interested in the symbology language of astrology, this this #YouTube overview of 2025 as a hugely transformational year is fascinating! Refers to personal, national and planetary shifts that are epic.

Someone assumed I’m running a tech startup. This is not the case.

I’ve been involved with startups, sometimes at an executive level, but that’s no longer what I’m involved with.

I’ve worked at successful startups and unsuccessful startups. And I’ve learned quite a bit along the way.
