You and me don't gotta single-handedly fix microplastics or tariffs or corporate tax avoidance or eugenics or the great Pacific garbage patch. These things we do together. But first we gotta fix our hearts. This, too, we can do together.

I know having hope is scary. Hopelessness is way easier. Hopelessness compels us to do nothing. Hope asks us to do something.

Obligatory regularly-scheduled reminder that I'm still looking for work! I'd love to stay in anticarceral and/or LGBTQ+ advocacy and policy spaces, but I'm open to--and have experience and flexibility that support--a wide range of fields and jobs!

My strongest and most versatile skill is deriving narrative from data and communicating both in accessible and compelling ways. I've written everything from superhero comics to policy briefs and public testimony; and edited my way across the media landscape.

I care less about Signal chats and more about the blacksite offshore concentration camps we're sending random people to without any semblance of a trial, so I'll be interested to see if the national media can rub their bellies and pat their heads at the same time this week. Historically they can't.
