From a Twitter thread from 2020. Everything old is new again.
Bloc for everyone! 🧵
Or how I misspent my late teens & 20s.

BLOC EVOLVES.
(There was a twitter thread, this was my response. The anonymized post that started it.)

I note here: there will be homework, because seriously, you’ve gotta have basics.
Do the reading. I’m not sending you at books, just articles. I’ll screenshot if it comes from a high word count source.
