I really struggled to write this. Earlier this year, to discovered that the bodycam footage of my comedic, traumatic 2021 arrest had not only been released, it had gone viral on YouTube. Thanks to @guardian for giving me the space to write about it: theguardian.com/commentisfree/…


Okay I can stomach the Adam and Steve thing (because Nancy’s generous heart and kind words show how Christian she really is 😂) but I draw the line at Nazis using paw puns. Dogs don’t like Nazis!

We met Boo from the Charleston Animal Society. 🐾 Their work in the Lowcountry is paws-itively vital. From rescuing animals to supporting veterans and first responders through service dog programs, they bring hope and healing to our community.

Literally none of this is true and this woman needs to get help. We have to stop allowing members who are experiencing mental breakdown to continue to work without getting them the help they need. This is an emergency, let’s help her before she hurts herself or one of us.
