I really would love to do an Invertebrate (::cough cough:: Republican) of the Day feature. Invertebrates and mating behaviors are my thing, so I could make it nice and spicy. 🌶

I spend all day vaguely answering regulatory questions on one very specific type of regulation simply by regurgitating said regulations in a differently worded way. Then, I tell them they were wrong when I inspect them. I’m actually pretty good at it...
Oh, wait. I don’t think that’s what you meant about jobs

I’m at a work conference. What in the world is happening? Quit doing your day job and hang out here. |

I have no idea what is happening.
I'm in compliance, does that help anyone?

Regional perspectives?? I can do Michigan, or Southwest Michigan if we want to be specific.

Not sure it has to be strictly political, but maybe politics/current events/being a woman these days/progressivism/snark with pop culture sprinkles? Like Jezebel but more wonky and less about the Kardashians? I mean, exactly what we talk about every week.
I think it would be fun to try to replicate the conversational feel of our threads for public enjoyment. I guess that's live blogging - or at least that's what I'm thinking of - but perhaps less... live? Maybe a much more edited, structured version on a particular topic. Or have articles that are co-authored that pose questions to each other or present different angles?
I don't think we should be doing it for money (or at least we shouldn't expect to make any) but I am not against having ads if we ever get there.
Do we have any professional business plan writers? I can make logic models, but I don't think that's a very good planning tool for these kinds of things...

I think we should cover pertinent cultural things too. Discussing CA around holidays and costumes. Talk about how to talk about Santa to your kids.
IDK.

I'm not sure what I can contribute but I am in marketing (B2B, though) and I like to edit things. And post Muppet gifs. Also about to have a baby at some point between now and the 19th, so I'm not sure I'm the most reliable person atm  ETA: I also have a super Republican H who is good at giving me the "other side" perspective... (sometimes when asked, sometimes not lol) |

Should we start with a Twitter account to test drive this whole idea and see if other people find our gifs and snark and hot takes as endearing as we do? Build up a following before we sink more time into a site?

Just catching up now, but I am here for this. I am a licensed attorney, but that basically means nothing.
I can however, write reasonably well (ignore the plethora of typos and such on here, because I am 98% on my phone for that ish.) I also live overseas, so I can make a spicy byline.
I would happily contribute in any way I can. My personal interests include drowning in student loan debt and griping about it, comparing US systems of governance and public services to other countrys' and generally just being a snide bitch. I am here for ALL OF THIS.
