Weird, right?

This is the correct list.

I don’t even remember whether or not my score was any good.

I wrote a thing.

Who included him on the group chat?

Richard Stone So, I wrote another thing. This one is a little out of my normal lane and was more challenging than I’d first thought, but it got my old city hall reporter juices going. Plus, I got to met a lot of...

I reactivated my library card and went to a local indie bookstore and ordered a book. That’s all.

Busy following all of the “alt” government services accounts.

We’ve been living on borrowed time since Citizens United.

Richard Stone Some friends needed fresh head shots so I organized an impromptu pop up yesterday. Here are my favs. I love shooting in the gallery at McCrory-Timmerman because it’s got plenty of room and I can dial....

I don’t know how this works over here but I thought I’d share some of my work.

When I took a polysci class in college, the prof told us that the purpose of a political party is to capture the government so it could make policy.

Trump was supposed to make American great again. Are we there yet? Because I’m mostly embarrassed. 1/

This is exactly my thought.

I love that.

This is what happens when you don’t know how shit works. Or care how it works.
