Her health has improved a bit so I called it off. Taking it day by day right now. Writing a little memoir of her life to serve as a diary of my feelings. I wish everyone could know her as I do.
likely going to say goodbye to my dog this week. she was an enormous part of my life. not sure how I can go on without her but I'll figure it out.

Last week Time Magazine solicited a piece from me on Zohran Mamdani & anti-Muslim hate. I pitched a framing re the dehumanization of Muslims & how Mamdani’s inclusive, socialist campaign in its content resists that. They agreed. I wrote the piece. 1/

To be asked to write about racism only to be racially aggressed in the editing process is a new level unlocked I have to say.

Deskilling is real.
This is the world generative AI peddlers long for, one where people are incompetent without their service.

A magazine telling me "this one was pretty close" is useless information
