In Morrow County, healthy adults were coming down with unexplained medical conditions, including diseases that usually afflicted the elderly.
In a survey of 30 homes, at least 25 miscarriages and a half dozen people living with one kidney were reported.

With 2026 around the corner, I wanna pitch a like 3-5k word feature on the Telecom Act of 96 and what's happened to music and media in the 30 years since then, that's also kinda filtered thru my experience as a music writer who is also class of 96.

Few things bug me more than higher ed leaders saying that we lost our mission and lost the trust of the public, when we have actually been the target of a decades-long smear campaign by the right wing that worked. The moment we’re losing our mission is right now, in capitulation.

A reminder that I mostly left Twitter because I was getting so relentlessly sexually harassed on there that I basically couldn't do anything anymore & there are a group of women who all have similar experiences and we all talk about it with each other! This stuff sucks so much!

They gutted the Washington Post. CBS. NYT. Now Teen Vogue.
The point isn't to bring in more conservatives. They've reached that saturation point.
They are killing the fourth estate and buying up the social media to control the messages we see. These were all targeted to disarm the left of truth.

This is so bad. Teen Vogue had some of the last quality political coverage in the mainstream media.
I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day.
certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

A few years ago I replied to a twitter thread about improvisation by recommending some other folks' work. Sheila, insightful, perhaps picking up my nervousness, inquired about my own. I was dead thrilled that she ended up citing me in her gorgeous book Hanging Out, and am now doubly grateful.
After several long years, I am thrilled to have this review of @dandipiero.bsky.social’s wonderful book, CONTINGENT ENCOUNTERS, finally appear in the African American Review

They just gutted Teen Vogue which had top notch political journalism. The media is continuing to purge any sort of political dissent to Trump and the oligarchs.

The last bastion of good journalism in any kind of a mainstream outlet is gone. Lex did incredible work when every place else was already way beyond the pale. A huge loss.
