This is bonkers, these people have all passed a series of interviews and checks. Pulling people from the citizenship ceremony is really just cruel.

Rep Grijalva is continuing to be an example of how the law applies very differently depending on who you are.

just to follow up on this, every award I have ever won has come as a shock to me when they mail me the thing after they announce. Most awards I can't afford to enter, the ones I have won are when the publication entered on my behalf.

a little, not a lot. But I’m good at looking at maps and I have a ton of people I can tap for local know how. I think the park itself restricts dogs to certain trails

Even if you just wanna do a zoom to go over planning, packing etc. I would love to do that, I love helping people feel safe outside

Does anyone in here happen to know how to get a byline added / changed on muck rack?

FWIW the initial reason some of these countries were listed wasn’t because they posed any risk, the justification used was the percentage of people from those countries who overstayed visas.

How do you dominate it? Make a true crime podcast would be my best guess. Or have two dudes talk about shit they don’t understand for 5 hours.

But idk really, most awards are very expensive to enter

Here’s my customary “don’t give up hope” episode. I hope it helps you get through a shitty end of a tough year.

yeah people are doing rad shit, I just hope that they keep doing it and don't fade out when it becomes clear they can't make much of a living.

Yeah. I can’t see how we are gonna get younger folks to want to be journalists with how shit it is now

You absolutely fucking love to see it.

It’s incredible how much integrity and solidarity Greta has shown. In a world full of spineless quislings and grifters, she’s really a hero.

This isn’t the ideal solution. But I’m still happy when people who are pointlessly incarcerated stop being pointlessly incarcerated

Yeah I mean, two things can be bad.

It doesn’t matter to me, but I would be happy knowing you supported a cool book shop. I love book shops

Wishing you and your son the best with that, it’s certainly not easy. Glad your students can still come there and feel safe.

Aaron is right about this. Carceral liberalism and its consequences remain a disaster for this country, as you can see in the replies and in the streets of most big cities.

man, I need to start one of those "I will teach you the secret dark arts of pitching/ freelancing" grifts. Seems a lot more reliable than actually pitching these days.
