I know so many women whose careers have been blocked by gross men -- or who have been forced to take the long way around to avoid them. And it's such a fucking waste.

Today, I am matching donations to any org in this list, up to $1000. Reply here or DM me with receipt. www.standwithminnesota.com

Loved this essay about James Baldwin, grievance, and the American soul by @izdaramola.bsky.social defector.com/how-much-lon...

huge fan of this place for reading stuff ✌️

this is a small and not at all important thing but as a silver jewelry-enjoyer the crazy price of silver rn does not spark joy

Mannnn, I hope they post some clips from this thing on the ol' internet.

"The secret fear of the morally depraved is that virtue is actually common" is a fucking banger @adamserwer.bsky.social

i am trying to buy a magazine from france and i think they don't ship to the us so i sent the most grammatically chaotic email to them and i hope it makes them laugh

Damn, @pareene.bsky.social is good at the blogging. I feel like many people in the comment only read the headline, however! defector.com/i-have-a-gre...

My instagram feed is generally just like, fun outdoor, surfy things and rarely do people post about politics. Yah, they're going hard over there right now. Love to see it.

beautiful images from downtown minneapolis right now. love to see it. as a californian, i'd last like maybe five minutes out there lol. y'all are built different.

Have a pal who will match the first $1,000 you all donate to the Immigrant Law Center TODAY. You can reply with verification (make sure ID info obscured) or DM me. Thanks everyone!

My friend Jackie is super good at the things. Please enjoy her review of Finnegan’s massive book, Barbarian Days. ✨

this is the thing, every day.

I spoke to a friend on the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota board. They need financial donations to keep up with the heightened demand for their services: www.ilcm.org ILCM is a nonprofit that provides free immigration legal representation to low-income immigrants and refugees in MN & ND

the harbor in santa barbara has to be dredged every winter -- sometimes multiple times each winter. the army corps of engineers handles that kind of thing here, and most places. currently, there's no funding, so no dredging. meanwhile, the harbor is silting up. this is super good governing, yes.

i saw a very big rock today.

i have mixed feelings about espresso in a glass but it did taste good

the courage of ordinary people in the current moment is profoundly moving. look at you out there, you beautiful miracles

Ha ha, okay, nobody. Man, I do miss old Twitter where I could ask this kind of question or it would already be out there in the air.

this was one thing old twitter was amazing for. i always knew what was up with freelancing ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

long-shot but: do any of my friends have a read on current california law on independent contractors v employees? because man, i thought i had that dialed, but i'm running into problems. looking for the current state of play

we decided to do happy miles today and tried to pick the flattest, sunniest route possible. it worked out alright but we still got almost 1k feet of climbing. ride bikes, it's good

mostly, they're going to have piles of footage of me walking in and out of my house all day which is very exciting if you're into that kind of thing

my neighbors got a ring for christmas which means an end to naked full moon salutations. this is very disappointing.

Here are two organizations making and distributing whistles for community action. I'm gona try and drop a couple donations later today. Join me, if you like. linktr.ee/mspwhistles www.gofundme.com/f/fund-whist...

a fun way to make a tiny apartment seem super ginormous is to put a giant tree in it for a few weeks then take the tree out and omg the spacious

darkly funny, because yes, my phd included military history + international relations and lots of that stuff is just.... not what this is at all.

Any of my California friends got rec's for cool spots in the Morro-Cayucos zone? I'm also looking for Pismo. Like, coffee, stuff to eat, do, whathaveyou.

If you would like more sports in your social media experience, here's a starter pack for the winter olys

I feel really stupid because I thought the whole thing with freelancing and California law was over but I guess it's not? Idk, man, I'm not your employee don't try to make me lol

there is already too much emailing i would like to stop the emailing

Editors: I have a fun Esses Magazine project in need of a Miami-based freelancer with extensive knowledge of the city/food/culture (racing expertise optional). Who knows somebody who fits the bill?

I read Mary Austin, The Land of Little Rain over the holidays and it's lovely. It's about the eastern Sierra, specifically, but it encompasses the wider region of both the Sierra and the basin and range country of Nevada and Utah.

to be clear this crew is not on the naughty list, it was just a thing that happened just before the holidays and they need a little reminder thing

first please pay me reminder of 2026 happy freelancers new year to all who celebrate

oh hmm. overthrowing governments in latin america has always worked really well for the us. a+ work. fucking geniuses.

happy new year, friends hope it’s a beautiful one 🩵

Mountain biking always makes me feel like a kid. The hills are crazy green, the streams are full on — it’s magical up there.

So, those two things were really fun and good. Weird year, but two fun and good things. I'll take what fun I can find, honestly.

The two things I did this year that I loved the most haven't published yet so I can't share 'em in the end of the year sort of way. But, I wrote a whole damn coffee table book and it was really fun. And, I was invited to contribute to a book project in collab with a photographer whose work I love.

rode down to the beach and peeked into some tide pools

siri how do i rinse my bottles i can’t figure out this basic task on my own help me

tfw your plant-fueled dish soap becomes your mid-ride nutrition

Wildsam just released an updated edition of this fun little book. It's a guidebook, yes, but with tons of entertaining writing. I worked on the surfing parts, which will come as no surprise to any of you. shop.wildsam.com/products/sou...
