For the last year I've been working with Akilah Hughes to make Rebel Spirit, a podcast about her quest to change her high school mascot from The Rebels, named after the confederacy, to The Biscuits. Trailer is out and I wrote a little about how our collab came together: dansinker.com/posts/2024-0...

30 years ago this month the first issue of Punk Planet came out. It's incredible that we did one issue let alone 80 over the following 13 years. In honor of the 30 year mark, I'm writing 13 essays, one of each year of the magazine, starting with Year One. dansinker.com/posts/2024-0...

This week I gave a talk at the 11ty International Symposium on Making the Web Real Good. It was about Question Mark, Ohio and about how the web is still a place of endless possibility. I've adapted the talk into a blog post for you. dansinker.com/posts/2024-0...

This is the single funniest thing that an algorithm has ever done.

Pretty excited this news is finally out. I'm helping the Chicago Reader get their web experience as awesome as the rest of their reporting. The Reader was my first gig out of college. It's nice to come home. chicagoreader.com/reader/press...

I like being a person that has cultivated a brand so specific that I get questions like this. I don't like that I don't have a good answer for this one though.

Hey @dansinker.bsky.social if anyone would know, you would: what was up with all the clown sightings in 2016?

2023, The Exit Interview | dansinker.com dansinker.com

I'm quitting 2023. After 364 days, today will be my last day. My tenure here has not been a good one and I requested an exit interview with HR so that 2023 can understand why I'm leaving and, perhaps, how it might do better in the future. dansinker.com/posts/2023ex...

2023 was a lot of hard things, but losing Sinead O'Connor and Pee-Wee Herman within a few days of each other in July felt especially cruel. I wrote a small offering to the mystic and man-child that meant so much to those of us that grew up different: dansinker.com/posts/peewee...

Genuinely amazed that anyone thought substack would change their mind over their very clear endorsement and support of nazis. I've avoided hosting on substack for *years* because of this. They're never changing. Hosting nazis is their whole deal.
