It was a dream when I was younger to be on it. By the time I was 25, I was like, yeah I'm not just interested in doing it anymore. I can't physically do it right.

Speaking of asterisks, this piece from The Berkshire Eagle (Pittsfield, Massachusetts; 10/11/61) is rather hilarious on the subject.

If you have any trans friends in your life and you haven't reached out to them recently:

#2: Do it yesterday

MLB Network deleting The DeRosa Files is on the sillier side of scandal but the league made a great argument for the importance for supporting independent media. If a sports league will hide something dumb that everyone saw, what else won't its leaders tell you?

(And if they won't, who will?)

BREAKING: A judge refused to block a Kansas law that invalidates the driver’s licenses of transgender people and allows trans people to be sued for using public restrooms.

This isn't the final say, and we will keep fighting in court to stop this discriminatory law.
