For the last year I've been working with Akilah Hughes to make Rebel Spirit, a podcast about her quest to change her high school mascot from The Rebels, named after the confederacy, to The Biscuits. Trailer is out and I wrote a little about how our collab came together: dansinker.com/posts/2024-0...

30 years ago this month the first issue of Punk Planet came out. It's incredible that we did one issue let alone 80 over the following 13 years. In honor of the 30 year mark, I'm writing 13 essays, one of each year of the magazine, starting with Year One. dansinker.com/posts/2024-0...

This week I gave a talk at the 11ty International Symposium on Making the Web Real Good. It was about Question Mark, Ohio and about how the web is still a place of endless possibility. I've adapted the talk into a blog post for you.

I learned today that I know a tiny tiny fraction of what 11ty can do. The image stuff they were talking about literally would have saved me hours over the last year.

i was just reading about jim crow constitutional theory this morning so it is incredibly striking to me how the conservatives on the court are recapitulating the idea that the federal government has no power to protect the civil rights of its citizens and cannot compel the states to do so

I like being a person that has cultivated a brand so specific that I get questions like this. I don't like that I don't have a good answer for this one though.
