The Kids Online Safety Act has one giant problem. 

There are genuine concerns regarding kids and teens interacting with the internet, and we should approach this like any other public health problem. What we shouldn't do is have another moral panic and allow these massive platforms to control even more of our lives.

The unilateral no fault divorce is under attack by the far right. Not good.

*NOTE* This is not the new season. The show is technically still on hiatus, but I wanted to use all the recordings we made in the mean time. Thank you for everyone's patience!

    Are You A Charlotte?

    In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
