do you like amateur legal analysis from someone who learned everything they know about the law from law & order reruns? do you like 150-tweet threads about excruciatingly dull city government proceedings? do you think my dogs are cute as hell & they deserve fancy treats? whatever brought you here, welcome. 

let's be honest, the small college town of charlottesville, virginia is just pawnee, indiana if it were situated directly over a hellmouth. i do my best to attend every city board, commission, and council meeting on the calendar, along with frequent court hearings & trials related to our ongoing nazi problem. i can't claim to be a policy expert, but i'm sometimes the member of the public in the room. i promise to be accountable to my community, plus my content has way more jokes than most local news coverage.

this started out as an extremely weird hobby and has become my actual, full-time job. it is an honor and a privilege to be able to make information about my local government accessible to my community. i am incredibly lucky that people find this work important enough to support financially. this model allows me to create content and make it available for free - no paywall, no advertisements, no editorial board. i'm accountable only to my community.
