Jan Schakowsky, the incumbent in my race, will reportedly not seek re-election. So it seems like a good time to reintroduce myself —

I’m Kat Abughazaleh and I’m running for Congress.

Do you have any idea how badly you have to fuck up a website to get a band that relies on social media to sell tickets to our little shows and stuff to nuke an account where we had 160k followers

The notion that reading a shooter’s statement will cause people to snap to attention and become homicidal maniacs, like some kind of Manchurian Agent trigger word, is media paternalism at its worst.

This ream of paper is our financial aid app for Rob’s cancer treatment. No, I am not joking. This is what cancer care as freelancers looks like.

We had to add extra pages to it Friday night, because it wasn’t enough. It took more than 200 hours to compile this.

I love how feather bands’ being “intact” depend on having pigment at different distances away from the origin of the individual plumes. Like how does the body "know" that they'll line up when they turn the pigment gene on at that point of development of each particular plume!? Just wild!
