An intro, I guess! I've never done one of these because I started being online when everyone on the internet was an axe murderer. Feels polite to have one now, though. The linktree in my profile has all my other social media, with insta being the most active and professionally-oriented.

The year is 2035. I meet President AOC in the Oval Office. "Well done," she says. "By pointing out the small ways certain outfits don't follow outdated rules, you've lowered the population rate by 90%, thereby reducing carbon emissions." She slides me a manilla envelope. I can now afford a home.

In America, where irony is dead, a hotel chain uses a policy denying shelter to local people, for fear of accidentally housing homeless persons…
To deny a reservation to the author of a much-lauded book on how American economic unfairness forces working people into homelessness.

A Hampton Inn in Asheville just canceled my family's reservation because our address (incorrectly) showed Asheville—and the hotel bars locals within 50 miles.
When I asked why, they said, "because of our homeless population," adding that most hotels here have similar policies.
This is outrageous.

Frank Sinatra was a vocal anti-racist. He fought racism with his actions, his words, and his money.
Actions:
Refused to stay at segregated hotels. Made sure Black artists got paid fairly.
Words:
Literally wrote an article in Ebony Magazine

if you’re a holiday host who “100% supports” queer and trans people in this perilous & dispiriting time, but who is unwilling to actively choose queer & trans people if it means prompting a different and maybe more awkward conversation, i kinda feel like you’re doing “100% supports” wrong.

A small (personal) example of this book’s intellectual dishonesty:
My father-in-law is reading In Covid’s Wake, and excitedly told me he found a passage where I’m quoted. The quote in question is me saying the FBI worked to censor speech on social media.
Huh? When did I say that?!

Eric Adams Reigned Over a Run of Scandal Not Seen Since Boss Tweed
The mayor’s corruption indictment capped a string of criminal charges, FBI raids and abrupt resignations that destroyed his popularity and took down his crony-laden palace guard.
