WCID: Tag! You're it!
Quinn Emmett
By Quinn Emmett

In partnership with

Happy Hump Day, Shit Givers.

I’m super excited — one of your most-requested features is live — and it’s free! Scroll to check it out.

Let’s go!

— Quinn

🕵️‍♀️ Lost track of that action we recommended in a podcast back in 2023?

Yeah, us too.

Sure, you could dive back in to the show notes to find that one specific link, but what if — in addition to the show notes, which aren’t going anywhere — we collected every action we recommended from each of our podcasts, in one place?

Like — in our WCID app?

And Tagged each one, by hand, by where you heard it?

What if?

What about actions I recommend in my essays?

Or that a guest writer suggests in Life Finds A Way?

Or that Maddie recommends in The Science of Fiction?

Yeah — we Tagged all* those, too. 💅

(*Well, we’re actively working forwards and backwards to Tag everything from It’s Called Science., because, holy hell, it’s a lot of manual labor, so bear with us. For future reference, they’re here)

🔎 What if I want to see — just for shits and giggles — any actions mentioned in the Life Finds A Way column, and also The Most Important Question podcast?

Thanks to Conor’s powerful search and filters, you can do just that (here it is).

In fact, you can do a hell of a lot more than that — you can start with Tags, and add on filters by verb, noun, location, or even skills (that’s kind of in beta, but you get the idea).

Want every Donate action mentioned over the years in The Most Important Question? You’re welcome.

Where guests want you to donate

💡 Is Tagging data a new idea on the internet?

Giphy

lol no. We just got around to it.

And that’s important to note — by “we”, I mean the humans who do this work, and who dogfood the app every day and understand that every decision and feature we make needs to be for humans.

🙋‍♀️ Why is Tags capitalized?

Giphy

I don’t know, man.

Because it’s fun? Can I live?

🤝 Tags are internal-only (for now 👀).

We’ve always said that everything we make:

  1. Compliments the rest

  2. Directly or indirectly comes back to helping you answer The Most Important Question: “What can I do?”

And now the Important Ecosystem (a term I just made up and didn’t run by the team first, so don’t get used to it) is more connected than ever before.

Giphy

But Tags don’t stop here.

As we work with more policy, charitable, educational, and even corporate partners, Tags will become an incredible way to find, track, and take action on…actions…developed or recommended by the folks working out there on the frontlines of the future.

(PS — if that’s you, shoot us a note today — we’ve got some exciting tools we’d love for you to test!)

👇 Get started below

We’ve collected our first set of Tags, for your pleasure.

Fun story — you can bookmark each of them for later, and the results will update when new actions fit the bill!

🔮 PPS: In the future, Members will be able to subscribe to alerts when the searches like these get updated. Stay tuned for more!

The Most Important Question

Slice and dice every recommended action from almost six years of my OG podcast (well, at least, the ones that are still relevant).

Everything my guests have ever recommended, basically

Not Right Now

Once in a blue moon, Claire and I will recommend something constructive to do with your time — besides drugs — and we’ve got them all gathered at the link below. Best wishes/warmest regards.

Make sure the kids are actually alright

Actions to save the galaxy

That’s it. We’re super excited to share Tags. We think it really ties the room together, and hope you’ll think so, too.

Thank you — as always — for giving a shit.
