My thesis: Culture writes policy first My North Star: Empathy shouldn’t be a radical position My pod: girlypoplitics.substack.com (was on a mini hiatus, next EP soon!) My twitch: twitch.tv/girlypoplitics/about (not live yet!) The political isn’t just personal -- it’s pop cultural. I trace the thread between the stories we obsess over and the policies we end up with. (Why do rom-coms normalize workplace harassment? How does Succession shape our view of oligarchy?) Former barber, farmer, chess coach, and playwright -- because politics doesn’t live in think tanks alone. It lives in the salons, the soil, the Twitch chats, and the theatre. As someone who did the classically trained acting thing, I believe deeply that understanding the nuances of human behavior through performance directly informs empathy and the ability to write about and for the human condition in a meaningful way (if you're cast as a villain you still find humanity. you live and breathe the nuance, you speak volumes in subtext, and in silence.) My second thesis would be that these skills are invaluable for analyzing the political landscape. ~*~the pod~*~ Girly Poplitics: where politics and pop culture collide like a drunk DM at 2AM -- full of $50 words that somehow make sense inside a The Pitt-rant about cyclical healthcare rage and the budding romance between Mel and Langdon.
