My only plan is to make no plans. Write, trust yourself, and trust your editors. Read more

A huge benefit is that you don’t have some jagoff with no frame of reference trying to cover complex culture issues. A diverse team complements itself, allowing for less blind spots and more empathetic (and frankly ethical!) journalism. Read more

Not really, but there are times when stories need to be put on ice or completely killed depending on complications. Read more

“Bad” being extremely relative, I will say Deadly Premonition or Enter the Matrix. Read more

BEEEPP BEPPPP BEPPP BEPPPPE BEEEEEEPPP is not exactly the same as a quality performance of Despacito. Read more

This has been given away on a few venues now. It’s a fun game, even if matches take a long time to find sometimes. So if you’re curious this is another chance to check it out. Read more
