I have bittersweet news to share: November 7th will be my last day at CivicLex. I'll share my next steps soon, but I want to first say thanks to everyone who ever read the newsletter and shared it, who invited me to speak to your class, your neighborhood, your organization about my work...

BREAKING: We won!
Today the 3rd Circuit Court ordered the @post-gazette.com to restore our contract it illegally tore up 5 years ago. That’s our health care, PTO, right to a 40-hr. work week, short-term disability and so much more we’ve struck for 3+ years.

Pet Sounds is such a great album because every song is the most memorable and energetically composed song you've ever heard but the lyrics are like "it's not nice to be a mean dude" or "I don't get why you're not over your ex and in love with me yet."

i don’t think the main problem with the american church is “too many of them refuse to be scammed by a lady who is obviously lying.”
There is a lady on TikTok pretending to have a baby that has gone without formula all night — she is calling churches around the country to ask if they can help.
Some of them are really embarrassing themselves. Especially the mega-churches.

Teen Vogue took young people seriously. It's impossible to overstate how important, how rare, and how profoundly needed that is.

Lexington has 125 Flock cameras. Unlike LMPD, Lexington's Police Dept. does share the locations of those cameras.
Also unlike LMPD, there are no ordinances that dictate how Lexington police can interact/cooperate with ICE.
