Harrison shared his experiences with Bankman-Fried and FTX US on Dec. 14, explaining how he was hired “casually over text” in Mar. 2021 after working together at New York-based trading firm Jane Street for a few years.

Rezz On Grappling With Mental Health and Insomnia: “Nobody Knew What I Was Going Through”
It seems Rezz was all but able to relax this year.

Rezz begins talking about her struggle with her mental health right before the “Spiral” tour, the biggest and most expensive headlining tour of her career.

Bloom Vol. 28: More Than One
Two people stood facing one another. Longingly, they gazed into one another’s eyes. Between them was a hammock – radiant in its red, purple, and orange hues, tinged with the sun’s warmth and the remnants of their bodies and embrace.

They tightened the fabric until it could hold their weight, solidifying a bond. The thread was trust, needle action. As the days go on, months, the two begin to see their differences. One enjoys drifting, foraging, hunting, and roaming the fields alone for hours and even days on end, but the other does not. As they began to explore themselves and the world around them as individuals, they made a pact to never stray from o...
