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.”

What an amazing few months it has been chasing the murmurations around Lough Ennell looking for the shot with @hogg82, our patience eventually paid off. Thanks so much to the @IrishTimes for the wonderful usage today https://t.co/5ldPF6J6PS
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.
