Amber A’Lee Frost on Dirtbag
Amber A’Lee Frost, a writer and former Chapo Trap House co-host, dives deep into her new book, Dirtbag. She shares insights on life after quitting social media and how it enhanced her focus. Amber discusses the economic hardships of creative precarity and the necessity of political organizing. She critiques the decline of curated culture due to algorithms and the commodification of art by elite collectors. With a focus on building public cultural provisions, she advocates for a socialism that makes life functional and supports unionized trade work for better opportunities.
