The social media figure “Rathbone” became (or always has been) a horrible antisemite. Not sure how many people here are familiar with his videos, but I must admit that a few years back I liked them. They were often provocative and didn't speak too kindly on Israel's actions, using words like “apartheid”, “imperialism”, “zionism”, etc. The account didn't influence me on my knowledge of these terms, the books I read and my political activism did, but it certainly popped up once or twi…

Put your name on your work and find like-minded people to share credit with. It is now on you to build not your brand, but the demonstration that you know what's going on.
It is going to be very hard to get a job by printing a list of skills at the top of your resume and hoping to get noticed. It already was and now it's worse than ever.
Be a person on the internet and by that I mean do not hide your person-hood. Your curiosity, your learning, your willingness to consider angles. Professional polish is something the clankers do better than us, because they are trained on all of us doing it.
If not putting your name on your learning, put a stable pseudonym out there. Be known by the work you do and even the mistakes you make and reconsider. Showing that your knowledge has _depth_ is now one of the most important things. We can all vibe up to a basic understanding. It's the people who can see where they went wrong, and course-correct that really are going to carry the day.
You no longer get to be perfect and only show what's finished and polished. And you're gonna have to show your work.
