Nellie McKay. It is a bit of a challenge to find a way to describe her using just words. Even her music – it is the performances (I’ve only seen her in video) that have a life of their own, more than the music but completely embedded in the music. So I’m thrilled to have […]
By now, you’ve read about the assinine comments from Abercrombie & Fitch about their desire to remain “pure” by not selling clothes to plus-sized people (like me!) or donate excess. God forbid poor or fat people wear their brand? It is not an appropriate response to take large amounts of “gently used” A&F clothing and […]
Where and how we provide basic support to our homeless neighbor is a NIMBY battle dating back to the day of separate entrances and so forth. And the recent failure on the part of City residents to embrace their most vulnerable neighbors reflects the fact that the private safety net is a total illusion and […]
This is very powerful.

The study is the first major look at gay homelessness in more than a decade, when one study suggested that almost a third of the homeless in big […]
In order for marginalized groups to have increased access to the judicial system to expand their civil rights, I would make these three recommendations: expand pro bono programs, create additional self-help centers, and encourage attorneys to adopt a sliding-fee scale based on income and ability to pay. Meet the Candidate Welcome to the 2025 election […]
I agreed to complete this Q&A because I myself have previously used this blog to learn more about candidates running for office. I feel it is often difficult to find information about candidates, especially when most people do not know that Judicial candidates have a different set of ethical rules to adhere to compared to […]
The media has been zealously covering the brutal, unfathomable murder of biracial trans man Sam Nordquist in upstate New York this month. Sam was a 24 year old young adult who trusted the wrong person and paid a horrific price. His death is a travesty and there are lessons to be learned. But Sam is […]
