starting a new website related to (mostly) Austin has been a fun challenge. I will be working on it even more, and with more contributors, in 2026.

Always read Abby! I don't have a background in science or marketing, but this post is giving me a lot to think about in terms of both.

For a story I'm working on for next week, I'd love to chat with queer Texans who can't go home for the holidays. Where do you go? What do you do? Where do you find community? DM me here, or on signal at Kissphoria.57

Oh my GOD. The song that Rudy Giuliani used in his anti-Zohran post is fucking AI-generated.
It's a song called "September 11, 2001" and it's from some AI slop factory called The Experience. You need to hear how bad this song is.
