I’ve seen a lot of people posting about Dan’s obsession with bootleg shirts. As his yoga teacher as well as his friend, I also got to see Dan wear many of these shirts (as well as his beloved Penn Relays shirt collection) to the studio, where he was happy to have a conversation about them anytime.

From 2005-2011, I first wrote for, and then edited, a blog that covered news and events in and around Philadelphia.

The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.
And trans lives are grounded in reality.
We see y'all. No matter what.

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition

Previous years: spend weeks on making my countdown list, try my best to game the rankings, hit maybe 60% on the #xpncountdown. This year: make five different lists, all with different combinations of songs, choose one based on vibes alone, hit 100%.

Stevie Wonder’s cover of “We Can Work It Out” does everything a cover song is supposed to do. This is a well-deserved top-100 placement. #xpncountdown
