This lovely article about Duane and his family. Duane was an artist, activist, and fought against the stigma of being gay and having AIDS (which, y'all). Also, the tragedy of his quilt and its rebirth!

Look a lot of people were at the Lucifer Foundation's annual Billionaire Vision Brunch in 2011. I didn't talk to all of them. Some of us just find the work the Lucifer Foundation does to be interesting.

Wear your values on your chest, your bag, your water bottle, your notebook. Plant a flag in your yard. Let the world know that "migration is human" + "Ohio is home."

The people pushing for the elimination of birthright citizenship are currently committing atrocities against immigrants within our country's borders and murdering fishermen overseas. This cannot be ethically discussed as an abstract legal question. There is no law here, only a fascist will to power.

Abolish ICE, prisons, golf, and gas-powered leaf blowers
A reminder that gas-powered leafblowers are nightmare devices that are bad for you, bad for your lawn, and very bad for the environment. They fume and scream and kill the world all so you can messily and ineffectively move leaves around, leaves which are generally supposed to stay where they fell.

Lawyers working with clients who are going through hard times could probably share 10 gofundmes from clients every day. So if they do rarely share one, you know it’s someone who is in an especially difficult or dangerous spot.
A lawyer I know is trying to help an abuse victim client relocate to get away from their abusive ex. They have an infant child and they're really struggling due to SNAP being cut. Would be really cool if you're in a position to help a stranger out.

New — I wrote about the myriad ways journalism’s moral rot manifests, and how our crumbling institutions have created the conditions for it to fester:
Moral rot in elite journalism is killing the whole field
The Nuzzi/RFK Jr. mess and the revelation of Esptein's journo pals lay bare a profound moral absence at the heart of our free press.

If you post a response to someone’s question by using AI, I’m posting a reply to call you an idiot. The person asking could have used the shit machine themself if that’s what they wanted.

Your employer cannot just decide that you are an independent contractor! There are legal factors that determine if that is true or not. If you are wondering if you can file for unemployment or file a workers’ comp claim, call a lawyer, don’t just believe what your employer says.
Did you know?
incorrectly classified workers, as “independent contractors," is wage theft.

Reminds me of that study about how white men from the south are more likely to get insulted and aggressive when they face conflict than men from northern states. But also all cops are like that.
