What exactly is the deal with her friendship with a neo nazi? I didnt know this was a thing until today. I enjoyed her last few pieces on your site, but disappointed by the milkshake duck situation. I know people arent perfect, but who is openly friends with a white supremacist?

Someone who has spent a lifetime learning about how we're all very flawed humans, and from that learned engaging can be important?

Has engaging with Weev for years done anything to make him less of a Nazi? I don't mean to pile on, I know these issues can be complicated. I really appreciated the piece she did about her surgery. I am a chronic pain patient who has had several spinal surgeries, & it spoke to me

You found that persuasive?

Latest revelations prove Marcy Wheeler was right all along. Again. (Getting more use out of this than I expected)

Nah, we were just lucky enough Quinn was sharing w/us while she got her feet back under her.

Did you know she is best friends with Neo Nazis and she goes to bat for them when questioned on this?

Don't know of any friends who're nazis. No. I have had some pretty awful friends in my life though.
-
For ppl whom Nazis want to kill “I’m friends with Nazis” (for whatever reason) is a stupidly frightening thought.

I'm conflicted. I don't know her body of work, but what I've seen is that she has befriended Nazis and calls people fag frequently. I couldn't care less about the latter TBH but I find that if I befriend someone that turns out to be a Nazi that sort of puts us on the outs. Hmmmm

She seems to be a controversial pick to say the least.
