There are cathedrals everywhere for those with the eyes to see
if you can’t see the aurora borealis tonight, here is a sewer tunnel which is a wonder in itself.

DDHQ — so goated, so underrated. Honestly I have no idea why so many outlets stick with the AP when this outfit has much better data & the ability to make faster calls

Can confirm, we are dorks
journalism was never cool. *Robert Redford and Hoffman* were cool b/c the only way to make a Watergate movie was to have it star these two extremely cool/sexy people!
Reporters and good reporting are vital to a functioning democracy but it's a job for fucking dorks! It's a dorky profession! JFC!

Political violence disproportionately hurts people with less power, not people with more power. Political violence will disproportionately hurt people of color and women and LGBTQ people. It’s not fair, but that’s the way it works. Celebrating political violence means at best indifference to that.
Political violence is bad. It usually begets more political violence.
Celebrating political violence is bad. It usually encourages more political violence, against various targets.
Campus shootings are bad. They make everyone on campus less safe.
It's bad that what I wrote here is controversial.

In this tumultuous moment, Texas is still unique in its mind-boggling extremes. Texas loves to pick on queer kids. Yet, Texas is one of the queerest states in the country. Nearly 20% of our residents were born in another country, but we’ve vilified those neighbors.

After a Year of Covering Texas, It Still Makes No Damn Sense
The wonderful, horrible, nonsensical nature of our schizophrenic state underlines why honest, independent journalism is so badly needed.

If you cannot go to the bathroom at work, you cannot go to work. If you cannot go to the bathroom at school, you cannot go to school. This effectively bans transgender people from a broad swath of public life in the UK
🚨 BREAKING | Labour is set to impose a sweeping ban on trans people using any "single-sex space".
In EHRC guidance that Labour is set to approve, trans people will be barred from accessing toilets, gyms and changing rooms that match their gender.

New — The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children (NCMEC) was told this week by DOJ that they'd lose their funding if the org didn't remove any mentions of LGBTQIA+ issues from their public materials, I've learned. Staff were told they need to deadname trans kids in their reports to comply.

My hottest food take is that the best roasted chicken (oven/spit roast/rotisserie) is better than the best fried chicken.
