Hi! I'm Stephen. I have over a decade of experience in criminal justice, civil legal aid, government service delivery, and the role of data/technology in all of that. I've done litigation, research, tech projects, and organizing. Always trying to get better at all of it.
I also sometimes make music, go on hikes, go birdwatching, and hang out with my cat. I think that's basically it! #introductions #intro

organizer training
A nice little example from tonight's session: don't say "thank you for being here" when people come to a meeting. Say "it's good you're here, because this is how you win."
Just learned that Eric Barone made the whole soundtrack for "Stardew Valley" with stock sounds in Reason and a regular QWERTY keyboard (not a midi keyboard)

I think I can guess the sort of person for whom this will also be an easy one...

Bike
Phew. Two days, 90 miles. It was a real challenge but an incredible ride. (Thanks to @theadamglass for inviting me to join for part of his trip)
Bike
Just arrived after our 43 mile ride at our Airbnb. I kept saying "I feel like this whole ride is uphill," and now I feel vindicated. Ready for a mostly-downhill ride back tomorrow! (Pictures are a view from the Airbnb and the elevation chart of the ride)

Organizing for Power training
A really important parallel between this and the appellate law trainings I used to help teach: we tell students we're not here just to share ideologies, we're here to learn how to win. Hell yeah.
Organizing for Power training
It's this training if anyone is curious: https://www.rosalux.de/en/o4p
Starting the Organizing for Power training tonight
"Organized and disciplined super-majorities not just challenging but winning power" hell yeah that's the stuff
