Friday Open Thread: Madame Blavatsky's Lighter
As above, so below
 |
According to the ancient hermetic texts: “That which is above is like to that which is below, and that which is below is like to that which is above.”
Yup, it checks out.
Open Thread: I realized this morning we’ve never done an “introduce yourself” thread. So hey: what’s your deal? Subscribers, hit the 💬 below and introduce yourself, to whatever extent you feel comfortable. If you’ve got a personal project or a job you love enough to promote, give us a link to it. If you’re not a subscriber yet, it’s never too late!

Hey all, I'm Sarah Dell'Orto, and I'm a grant writer/fundraiser for non-profit arts orgs (lol it's bleak!) Like one billion of my fellow elder millennial Brooklynites, I recently moved to Kingston, NY and got a dog and a Subaru. I was trying to figure out how I originally found Tabs, and a cursory search of my gmail brought up this conversation, from 2014, which feels VERY RIGHT:
me: "welcome back, I hope everyone had a good summer, and by "good" I mean I hope you didn't get tear-gassed or beheaded. It's 2014 and the bar is that low"
friend: lolll whats that from
me: a weird insidery media newsletter that im subscribed to
called Today in Tabs
basically a summary of everything terrible that happened on the internet
Hello, I'm Jonty. I am in the weird demographic no man's land between millennial and Gen X, unclaimed by brand marketers, left to find our own way in an uncaring world. I'm editorial director for a bunch of videogame websites, I live in London but I'm temporarily in Berlin hiding from Brexit, I got into OG Tabs because US media gossip was far bitchier and more entertaining than the UK stuff. And now I am too old and tired to keep up with Twitter so it's a useful way for me to cling to relevance.
