Coming Back to Writing
I’ve spent years trying to be a “consistent” writer and wondering what that even means. This is a reflection on why I keep coming back to writing anyway.

Everything happening in Minneapolis has made me reflect on the past year and why I moved here in the first place. I'm proud of Minnesota and everyone standing against the injustice and violence from ICE and the DHS. Love all of you.

"ICE will leave Minnesota if you hand over your voter rolls" tells you everything you need to know.
This was never about immigration or fraud. It was always about rigging elections.

Two women trained as first responders were abducted by three ICE agents. One of the agents starts seizing. The other two don’t know what to do. The women jump into action and save the agent’s life, only to be re-handcuffed and processed.

Detained by ICE, two women became first responders during agent’s seizure
The women say they guided agents through the emergency, later raising concerns about medical protocols, weapons safety and accountability.

Turns out this basketball thing is more fun when you just relentlessly and mercilessly beat the shit out of the other team.

Julius Randle was 1 rebound shy of a triple-double at the half. This game is crazy!

Watching the game on a 30 minute delay right now. Timberwolves are up 13-0. I really hope they're keeping this lead right now 🤞🏽

How are the Wolves losing the rebound battle against the Warriors mostly playing small-ball? T-Wolves need to get out of their own heads.

The road team has won all three of the second round Game 1s we've had so far! 🔥
How does that bode for their chances of winning the series?

I spent years trying to play the middle and find common ground until I realized that I don't want to have common ground with fascists. They're not trying to be fair. Racist xenophobes are not people to break bread with. There's no middle ground.
It's victim blaming. Fascists hate academia because it's an independent institution of knowledge and power. Nothing you you did or can do would stop their attacks on academia, it's ideological. It's stupid to pretend otherwise and only legitimizes the fascists.
This Harvard comp sci prof laments Republicans’ declining public opinion of universities and blames it on professors who, unlike him, inject politics into their classes.
As evidence of politicization, he references Google, Coinbase, Bud Light—ie not academia—and one email from one law school TA.

The Warriors are scrambling. No game plan but to foul Adams and give the ball to Curry. The Rockets gotta take it all the way and win in 7. I need me a T-Wolves - Rockets round 2. #nbasky
