are nonprofits the solution?

Welcome to the first installment of the Studios subseries. In this episode, we’re diving into the Nonprofit Industrial Complex. What it is, how it came to be, and why it might be doing more harm than good. From Reagan-era policy shifts to firsthand experience at a nonprofit, let’s unpack the contradictions of a sector meant to “do good” while surviving on the crumbs of capitalism. If you’ve ever asked yourself why real change feels so far away or if nonprofit work is actually helping, this one’s for you. * Characteristics of White Supremacy Culture [https://www.whitesupremacyculture.info/]

creating something new

Welcome to End Times Art Club, a new chapter for the podcast formerly known as Coaches Don’t Play.

We’re starting with junk journaling, what inspired this shift, life updates since my last upload, and what to expect from future episodes. What kind of guests or art forms would you like to see? How do you deal with the pressure to be consistent or "productive" in creative work?
