Hey y’all, would love if you are going to #alaac25 if you would come support me and my fellow authors of Censorship is a Drag in presenting about the book and censorship. It’s 2:30-3:30 in room 117 of the convention center. I’ll be talking about archives, & others will cover other lgbtq censorship!

I didn't say anything when Howard Schultz wanted me to drink coffee with olive oil in it--maybe I deserve this.

"Does the mere possession of a gun at a protest in an open carry state constitute a threat?" Pro-open-carry: no. Pro-stand-your-ground: yes. Gun laws are stupid.

I was part of a project to create a tool library a few years back. Our insurance company was not enthusiastic about chainsaws (or nail guns, or jackstands, or scaffolding...)--we do have almost every other kind of saw we could think of, though. And lawnmowers--one of our most popular items.

Any recs for newish true crime podcasts that are done with the support and/or willing participation of the families and survivors and that aren't sensationalist yellow journalism or influencer fodder. Shows that have journalists investigate 1 case over several eps, not a case of the week.
