I know firsthand how college can transform lives. Capitulating to authoritarian intimidation will rob future generations of that chance.

when someone—human or nonhuman—dies, one of the worst parts is the missing. missing the ability to make new memories with them.
may all who grieve be comforted. may all who suffer transform it into creation and connection. may all things be protected and safe.

When the AI boom began, copywriters were singled out as one of the jobs most vulnerable to AI. Now, three years later, I wanted to hear from workers on the frontlines of the industry, to hear what had actually taken place on the ground.
For many, it was even worse than they'd feared.
