Reading this in a calmer state and I'm grateful to Neel Dhanesha. Somehow he managed to get it all down. Or in? I will say that I fricking LOVE my job at Vermont Public. But I feel like this interview got what I care about, and that's hard. And I'm grateful. niemanlab.org/2024/04/rumble…

In 2003 Davy Rothbart at the New York Times asked Fred Rogers why people sometimes seemed afraid to talk to each other. Mr. Rogers sat quietly for 15 full seconds before answering: “Perhaps we think we won’t find another human being inside that person.”

I told Kasey I wanted to build a bridge to my mother. Have a conversation about gender that she could feel from the inside out. Kasey did it. I think Kasey might be magic. Also there is harp music.
