The only reason I have relatives in Philly is 100% b/c my grandaddy’s brother whistled @ a white woman. He fled Alabama hopping a train & didnt get off until Philly for fear of getting lynched. And instead the Klan nearly lynched our family in retaliation for *that!*

wow I briefly felt good about some writing I did and then I looked at the Internet - really should have just stayed offline

We truly wish we didn't have to take money for these cases, and it is such a relief when we are approached by people who are crowdfunding or otherwise in the process of pulling money together. Short of that, we will often reduce fees for the most urgent/sympathetic situations. Just a tip there

I’ve heard from a lot of parents who are NOT introducing their kids to generative AI but fewer who are.

If you are using generative AI with your young children and are open to chatting about it, please get in touch!

We are just weeks away from launch, y’all! (Yes, we are a bundle of excitement and nerves over here!! 😱) We thought this was a great time to introduce the co-founders of COYOTE: the busy humans who have been furiously plotting our debut. We'll share 1 or 2 a week til we launch.
