This is what Timothee felt when they put his hand in the damn box!!!

I'm renting out my furnished 1-bedroom apartment in Brooklyn for another year starting September 1! Close to Prospect Park (PLG), nearest subway stop is the Sterling 2/5 Suuuuper prefer to go to friends of friends since you'll have all my belongings & get my mail so plz let your pals know 🙏🏽🌈

1️⃣ Note that most of these locations are library branches; imagine how much more public infrastructure they could provide ✨if funded with ≥0.5% of NYC's budget✨ (Another reason @nycplan.org's work is so important) 2️⃣ May this climate-catastrophic event also remind us: COVID is dangerous + not over. 😷

I know I'm an aging queer because my breakfast nausea is from PrEP+kombucha and not coffee+cigarette

Was invited to Brussels last week to moderate this panel on AI & the future of work. Feeling more and more confident lately that I'm a real journalist and can be trusted to do journalist things!

You too can invite me places to yap about the current state of sex & digital censorship! Had such a good time at Serious Play conference in Mainz, Germany this week 🇩🇪✨

NEW: One day after we revealed Meta was quietly building face recognition into its smart glasses, the latest version deletes it. Meta execs, who called our reporting "dishonest" and "misleading," continue to dodge our questions.
