Today was my last day at @Jalopnik after near six years. I put together a long-lost video of @JasonTorchinsky touring the Nutmobile I felt I owed him. Anyway, I have a couple projects to do, but if you want to work with me or have work for me, let me know!

Extremely distressed to learn Uzi Nissan, who I interviewed in 2018, died of covid-19 earlier this month. He was so great to talk to, I called him back a year later to see how he felt about Ghosn’s arrest. Please wear a mask. Rest in power Uzi.

2019 I started dating, which led me to therapy, which led me to my boyf, which led me to come out to my parents. Also got a new job (still Jalopnik, more later). Anyway, all this proved was that I really need to start taking care of my body to feel good about myself, which sucks.

When I catch these glimpses into the lives of women it makes me so angry, and reflect on the lacking security and vetting at auto events. Jalop did a Le Mans party years ago, this blue eyed creep kept asking where she was going after. Told him it didn't matter, he was going home.
