WTF is happening in here? I'm glad I'm not the only one confused. I should probably keep reading.

WTF is happening in here? I'm glad I'm not the only one confused. I should probably keep reading. I was asking in earnest and no one answered me! I had to read way back, but I gather that @heartbot wants to start a political website/blog and people here want to contribute content? But I can't tell if everyone is joking. Clearly I'll be staying here since I can't keep up with one site, lol.

Can I be press secretary? Obv I will be live blogger. And armchair policy wonk In my mind, you have already been assigned. You should do a series where you annotate/translate/commentate on SHS briefings. That's your calling. This! All of this! Shoot I think dc2london should have her own section like an Op-Edge head contributor.

I am a IT professional and I can provide information on Net Neutrality, as well as computer use, network safety etc.
I did have a blog that noone really read call Probably Won't Read. I to open it up to everyone to contribute. I wrote about religion politics etc. Took down most of my old stuff. All my old work was on a DeviantArt that has fallen out of organization and to nostalgia.
I also run Multiple social media sites as well as a popular car website called LancerNation. Web/Dev classically trained as well as other I.T. level support.
Name Suggestion: Probably Won't Read (You would be surprised how ironic names work to become popular)
Does any of this help?

I would love to contribute if there is a need. My focus is media studies and history and I have been really jumping into media literacy lately. My degree is in teaching political science and political philosophy.
Pretty much tell me what to write and I will research and write it. I am also happy to edit/proofread whatever.

I asked too and I’m still not sure. misspatty wanted to leave her job so we decided we should all quit our day jobs and mobilize to take our talents for gifs, snark, armchair wonking and SJW-ing public. I hope nobody is actually going to leave their jobs, but we're just generally spitballing what a web presence could look like. I initially suggested a sort of Jezebel-Vox mash-up and we all contribute however we want...?

I could sometimes do something IR related (international relations), but I'm not on Twitter. If any of you feel like writing your post in German, then I can use my skill set from my day job and post it in English. Oh... No takers on that one? Ah well. Meine mutti sprecht Deutsch! Also not helpful I guess. 😂

Really I️ just need to get the hell out of Indiana, but I️ will settle for a cathartic work environment free from Roy Moore defenders. Lolsob. My dad was born in a soybean field in Knox. I understand completely.
