Storytime: 6 college students shared one Bloome subscription for a semester. One subscription, not six. One agent dropped into the study group chat. It learned each of their majors, their deadlines, and which prof grades hardest. By finals, it knew their group better than their classmates did. Bloome was built so people can share an agent the way they share a family plan.

Quick story time. It took me FOREVER to get my first job in crypto. It was 2023 and I already had 8+ years experience in mainstream marketing including working as a copywriter for a business that spent $10M on Facebook ads per year. And yet - I was no one in crypto. And blockchain seemed very technical and confusing. But I liked the culture. And I loved that the people working in crypto seemed to be: A) genius but socially awkward B) ADHD/ autistic spectrum C) doing their own thing away from the system So I was super determined to get involved. I even remember applying for unpaid internships even though I was insanely overqualified. (Funny that 2 years later, I’d be sitting at an invite-only dinner in Cannes across from the person that rejected me for an unpaid internship and they’d be asking me for media tips lol) Anyway. I wanted a job, fast. And I knew that learning about coding from zero and becoming a dev would take ages. Instead, I decided to do 2 things I had control over: 1) lead with the skills I had that crypto-native people didn’t seem to have 2) become as visible as possible by joining discords, communities, and posting here And damn it, it worked. I joined the @shefiorg course around September 2023. I posted about the things I was learning to 0 followers, then 10 followers, then 100 followers… Then, I started going to small Ethereum events around Europe. I paid for travel and hotels out of my own pocket with the money I was making from my coaching business on instagram. Then, in July 2024, I applied for a job and FINALLY got a response. That came after sending idk how many hundreds of applications. I saw the job on the @BoysClubWorld discord. My instinct was correct - this job required PR, media, and writing skills. I had all of that. And by July, I had a decent knowledge of the crypto space (mostly the culture but some tech, too). I got the job. It was my first real crypto job with a good paycheck. 10 months later, I got an offer from Cointelegraph. I started producing media content on @gazza_jenks’s team. That’s when the cool experiences started coming - free tickets to the F1, super yachts, a reception at Napoleon’s townhouse in Paris, etc. Ultimately, I got my job at WalletConnect where in the last nearly 2 years I’ve gotten a lot more technical. Another funny thing happened during this whole time - Crypto and mainstream tech started intertwining. If you’re a mainstream marketer pivoting to crypto now, you’d be in a lot more demand than I was in 2023 because now everyone wants to get out of the crypto bubble and reach more people. Anyway, sharing this because I saw someone post about internship roles. If I had a chance to travel back to 2023, I would do it all again. I love working in crypto. Hope reading this inspires you somehow. As always - AMA

Drag queen story time at Wilmot United Church, in conjunction with St. Andrews Presbyetrian church. Here, they read the book 'Rainbow Cookies,' about a bakery that is harassed and cancelled by folks after they create rainbow cookies for Pride, and one affirming girl who rallies queer allies around the cookie shop to show the world that 'love is love.' The author says the book was inspired by the 2021 story of the cancellation of 'Confections' bakery in Lufkin, TX.
