Executive Director, COLAGE. Doing all I can for queerspawn and our families. Thoughts are mine alone and often focus on video games and reality television.

I was on the fence about Kelli coming back because I was interested to see how she’d do without Shamea but after admitting what she did about how she views social media attention I have fully soured on her. Cynthia’s face said it all. #RHOA

There will be a more formal release of this that includes our partners and collaborators, but! As a point of personal pride, COLAGE filed an amicus brief with the Supreme Court today. Incredibly proud of the hard work of my small but mighty team!!

How wonderful... another attack ad from incumbent Providence Mayor Brett Smiley’s campaign, this one titled “Full Control.” When your campaign’s message is built on scaring our neighbors instead of focusing on your vision for the next four years in our beautiful capital city, that says a lot. 🙄

It frustrates me that for over 30 years, basically every year has seen lower crime rates than the year before in Providence, and yet politicians continue to paint it as dangerous for their own benefit, and the press just gives their lies a pass.

I gotta say Smiley's "before mayor smiley I was afraid to go into the city" ad really seems targeted at me, a resident of Cranston (though my neighborhood is more or less contiguous Providence urban area)

Using the word “woke” in that way is white and white adjacent nonsense to begin with. I don’t remember who said it first but when it’s coming from non-Black people I just hear it as a slur.

My opponent has spent the majority of this race attacking our movement with false claims and attempts to paint our vision of a Providence that works for everyone as something to fear. At the same time, Brett Smiley appears to believe that some rules don’t apply to him.

Great video essay looking back at A Force More Powerful, a serious game designed to teach nonviolent tactics. I actually own a copy, and back in 2006 I couldn't figure out how to play it. I'm positive nobody outside of its creators ever mastered it. Thank you for your service!

NEW VIDEO: In 2006 a Washington DC based think tank hired future lead designers of Civilization and XCOM to make a strategy game based on a documentary about nonviolent protest. 20 years later I'm here to tell you why. youtu.be/dmL7Ph4Us8o

This is the tragic yet logical result of a decades-long project—undertaken by rightwing politicians and “business-minded” administrators alike—to distort the meaning of higher education, to deny the intrinsic value of the pursuit of knowledge, to deprive us all of richer, more purposeful lives.

President Trump is banning students majoring in degrees that don’t make enough money from taking out college loans. Degrees for social work, art, religious studies, teaching aides, and music will be hit the hardest. trib.al/aaAEu6v
