Correction, Nov 13, 2024: This piece originally misstated that a piece of BlueSky lore referred to a "sensual hog named Alf." The meme is actually a reference to the genitalia of the 1980s sitcom character ALF. YPSILANTI MI

It's so weird that Dolly Parton used her money to help ordinary people in a thousand different meaningful ways *and* lived an incredibly happy fulfilled life, almost like there's some sort of connection between the two. Anyway, let me read about another AI CEO poisoning a town for shits and giggles

One you might find surprising: I submit inquiries and the White House has called me stupid for asking entirely normal questions on behalf of the public they represent. But I am glad she was "extremely helpful" to the NYT.

One you might find surprising. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt & members of her team have been extremely helpful in responding to questions I raise. Regardless of public facing commentary, privately they are willing to engage and address questions. And I have appreciated that. Thank you

This month is the 36th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act and it reminds me that the ADA could not be passed today. It probably couldn’t get a vote in committee today.

It's hard to talk about a sexual assault experience to the people you are closest to. Having to talk about it to the general public is a fucking nightmare. These women deserve so much better.
