Here's my essay, "How to Reduce Shootings," first published in 2017 and, tragically, still applicable today. We won't reduce killings to zero, but we have the means to reduce shootings by many thousands a year -- if only we can summon the political will. nytimes.com/interactive/2017…

At Payton Gendron's high school, kids were asked for their plans post-graduation.
He said his was to commit a murder-suicide.
This prompted a mental-health exam but not an attempt to bar him from owning a gun.

Really lovely use of technology and archives to create this bit of storytelling. It’s a shame this history isn’t taught in schools, we need to soak up these people’s stories, make sure this kind of erasure never happens again. nytimes.com/interactive/2021…

I am in no way, shape or form auditioning for Takeout Critic but restaurants: please don't send plastic silver unless the customer asks. We're throwing plastic away, you're throwing money away.

Great point. Also, if my grandmother had had testicles she would have been my grandfather.
