I'm a proud supporter of The 51st! If you're able, support this local news organization composed of former DCist journalists. They're doing an incredible job reporting on issues that impact the District.

As promised, here are the slides I shared with students to convince them to NOT use chatGPT and other artificial stupidity. TL;DR? AI is evil, unsustainable and stupid, and I'd much rather they use their own brains, make their own mistakes, and actually learn something. 🪄

this is the angle I'm exploring for my first ArtsWatch story. The NEA forcibly inserted the executive order language into their guidelines, yet none of their public communications address it. everyone is only talking about the other one (about DEI). if you can't stand on it, why is it in there???

This week of The Pitt hit me so dam hard. The Collins stuff was rough but I think it was the Freedom House Medic that ended me. Dead dad grief just pops up when you’re not ready for it
