For @thenation, I wrote about GiveSendGo, the "#1 Christian Crowdfunding Site" that is a willing haven for hate group members. The founders had some interesting things to say about welcoming the KKK: thenation.com/article/societ…

@C_Stroop

with thanks to @C_Stroop and @JeffSharlet for offering their thoughts!

this is the exact answer from my transcription of the interview with Jacob Wells and Heather Wilson when I directly asked about fundraising for Kyle Rittenhouse vs fundraising for an LGBTQ group, & I think offers an interesting insight into the phenom of "sin flattening":

typos mine obviously, GSG is short for GiveSendGo

@mcnallyjackson

walking into a bookstore, asking if they have copies of your book, and then revealing yourself to sign them is the writer's version of droit d'seigneur and every time i do it i feel extremely cool. anyway @mcnallyjackson on prince st has 7 signed copies of culture warlords now!

happy #WorldBookDay! mcnallyjackson.com/search/site/cu…

im gonna be even weirder at socializing once we emerge from this, like i was already bad at crowds idk how im gonna readjust

my anxiety is so finessed im already anxious about the end of a pandemic that isnt over. maladaptive trauma-coping mechanisms set to 11

no one needs another personal essay on agoraphobia/panic disorder so let me just say: it sucks lugnuts and the pandini has made it immeasurably worse

not only did i lose whatever progress i'd made, ive spent the entire time fighting off new phobias and old ones made worse (autophobia can suck my dick). the prospect of the world "reopening" with all my maladaptive coping mechanisms still in place is terrifying!
