Emily, Ellen & Zeus in serious TikTok mode
Activism, journalism, and a “heroic” dose of shrooms
It’s probably the crusty old City Hall reporter in me that had the Biden-Harris campaign’s YouTube page up on my phone last night. What message would they be trying to set in this pre-convention stage of the election, before Barry O and the other celebrities step in?
I learned that the Dems aim to frame the GOP candidate in his own words. More importantly, I was reminded how powerful advertising is, especially as an end to itself and not content interruptions.
And now you’re getting these damn promo items in your mailbox.
Thanks a lot, Brandon!
Emily Kruger
coaches soccer at St. Mary’s College, over in the East Bay. After an excellent career goal keeping for Cal, Kruger joined the Portland Thorns, then found herself deeply moved by the Black Lives Matter Movement, circa 2014. That’s where the trouble began.
My full conversation with Emily Kruger for paid subscribers is set to drop on Wednesday.
Ellen Holland
edits the print version of High Times magazine, the print publication that’s most prominently represented cannabis in America for the past 50 years. High Times sells Mary Jane now, too.
This podcast version of my talk with Holland came out last Wednesday. The print Q&A should be out midweek.
Zeus Tipado
gave me one of The Sojourn’s most stellar pieces of content when we made our Sactown-to-Maastricht connection last month. Not one moment was predictable. The print version is here and the podcast is here.
So, this is me just starting to figure out TikTok. Follow me there and I’ll try to get new stuff up and set the tone, like those Dems we’re stuck with.
