Stateless. Weightless. Former Marylander, once Chicagoan, always Coloradan, but every now and then you can catch my original Texas drawl. Trying to find a home in this world.

It buns me out how many media and politics people are just still on Twitter posting through it rather than trying to do something new.

DMs are also on the app! The icon is a balloon with ellipses in it, and it's at the bottom of the screen in the center. If you don't see it, you're using an old version and should update

Last month I was shooting photos in Pittsburgh's Hill District. A man in a wheelchair asked me if I worked for the city. I told him that I didn't. I asked him why he wanted to know and then he began telling me his story. www.pghcitypaper.com/news/dignity...

Those of us born in the 1960s and 1970s definitely saw more shows in reruns than originally broadcast. Not sure when that ends; of course now both "originally broadcast" and especially "rerun" are mostly dead.

The entire anti-trans moral panic we're currently experiencing was 100% manufactured and spread on social media. You can go back and look at the threads on Mumsnet where they specifically set the goal of creating it.

So is this part we repeat history almost a century later and start regarding the NYTimes as less of a “trusted news source” and more “a vital part of the fascist propaganda machine”?

The “narrative” of the news “cycle” doesn’t just happen. It is crafted by people with influence to achieve those people’s ends. When you hear “everybody’s saying this,” the meaning is that a certain finite group of people are deciding to say this over and over.

“Show up & show out when it’s time to vote, bc it’s not just about the presidential election, you guys,” she said. “It’s about making decisions that will affect us as human beings … It’s not a secret, look it up. They are attacking our most vulnerable citizens. The Project 2025 plan is not a game.”

I apologize for stepping out of my lane, but there are no viable options to replace Biden at this point, and you people need to get a grip on that now—just breath deep, and breath it all out—rather than dwell on this for another few news cycles.

I’m not watching this debate. It shouldn’t even be happening. The President of the United States should not be sharing a stage with a convicted felon, insurrectionist, and a fascist. Vote blue up and down your ballot and fight to end this charade.

True failure on CNN’s part. Biden had better have a point at which he asks the moderators how they haven’t asked about it if they don’t.

When unitary executive/ Project 2025 people say things like "the people issuing regulations need to be accountable to the elected president," remember that they also mean "emergency preparation for hurricanes should follow the president's sharpie map not the actual professional forecasts."
