I was laid off today as part of HRC’s restructuring.

If you or your org is looking for someone skilled in research, data, policy, and advocacy—especially for LGBTQ+ issues—please let me know.

And if there’s anyone I should speak to, feel free to connect us!

In the meantime: this really sucks

I hate gay Halloween. What do you mean you’re one of the dancing circulatory systems from the end of All That Jazz?

As a devoted lover of the emdash, it really drives me crazy that it's now associated with AI generated content.

For the last four days I’ve been coding in R in the morning, and Python in the afternoon, and while I am very proud of myself and feel very smart, my brain is also fully broken and I’m not entirely sure I know how to speak anymore

Just a reminder that I'm a good writer and editor who hits deadlines, if you have any freelance or part-time work you wanna throw at me.

RIP to Robert Redford. That man could really wear a sweater /coat.

A thing Zohran & his campaign have powerfully tapped into -- and that his scavenger hunt captures so perfectly -- is that a vast majority of the people who live here genuinely *love* New York City. We wouldn't stay here otherwise!

@jayasaxena.com is one of my favorite writers ever—and I’m not just saying that because I’ve known her longer than I’ve known how to read.

She doesn’t need my endorsement (her talent speaks for itself) but if anyone is looking for a brilliant, award-winning, America’s Best Food Writer, hire her
I'm officially out of a job--they eliminated mine, and I'm taking severance instead of a wildly different title they offered me that's not at all what I was hired to do. Solidarity forever 🌺, and while I take a breather someone come up with some good ideas of work I could do.

Pausing my job-search-induced-posting-freeze to let y'all know that one of my favorite people @mattielubchansky.com has a book coming out today, and I think you should buy it and read it!

I've known Mattie like half my life, and every day, I am more impressed by the amazing work she creates
my new book is out today. it's about separatism and utopia and bodily autonomy and cults and capital and love and revolution and nature and sex and all the things we owe to each other. I'm so proud and excited and nervous for you to read it. i hope you do. simplicitybook.xyz

NYCFC will be floating a 700 pound, 5 story tall inflatable pigeon down the Hudson River tomorrow.

It will finally end up in Willets Point where rumor has it that it will transform into the concrete sculpture that will adorn Etihad Park

also, my impression from the outside is that cuomo didn’t actually campaign. he just relied on name recognition and paid media. i think voters sensed the entitlement!
June 25, 2025 at 1:49 AM
Just a reminder that it’s likely we won’t know the result of the primary tonight. Unless one candidate gets 50%+ tonight, the election will be heading to additional rounds —and counting for these do not start till July 1.

That said: DREAM big, NYC! Drink lots of water and get your sticker !

As we head to Election Day, for folks who voted early, thank you. I know some folks have not yet made up their minds. I am making an appeal to you.

Please do not rank Cuomo. I have worked with every single one of the candidates for mayor. I will tell you he does not like us.

My mom — who has been accompanying asylum seekers to court for years — has told me again and again that immigrants can say they don’t want their case dismissed or, at a bare minimum, can ask for ten days to think it over, and it feels wrong that that is not here!
