My latest. It talks about geopolitics, tech, education, among other themes. My latest, kinda dirty blog
I have 41 points. I think I paid to read something, one of my blogs (about the Twitter hearing) got paid, and I'm here to deliver the shittiest blog you've ever read, but at the same time set a new standard in journalism (because there are SO MANY PEOPLE who know exactly what's g Unsure how this will be faced: Seems relevant. #mentalhealth#mentalhealth What happened to that super cute thing we were going to do, paying creators?

This is about Omegle, that site everybody's using. New post: #advertising and its evil ways. Participatory Fluency: "Don't worry, your data is safe -- says tech." Anyone interested in reading about recent media history? Check out my Substack . I am once again asking for peace of mind

Does anyone on Post want to hear about worthwhile #Patreon projects that sometimes take mini-herculean tasks? I wouldn't necessarily write "ARM THE HOMELESS" with lipstick on my guitar, but that was sweet, wasn't it? Take time to read other Patreon posts where I talk about my vulne When is Francine L'acqua going to shed a tear on air? "I was getting my Starbucks, being modest, you know?

For those who are not aware, I started an educational project aiming to connect Brazilian audiences with global opportunity, at a "grassroots level", so to speak. I called it English101BR, then Participatory Fluency and partfluency for short. On Twitter, I tried to pick whatever I did not expect the news from the NBC executive. What does that mean for, well, Instagram and YouTube? How to tell if a person is a monster: UBS Wealth Manager just said on Bloomberg that manufacturing in China is weak.
