Every time I write a critique of the New York Time's coverage of transgender people, people always tell me, "submit a letter to the editor."
I have, multiple times.

It's almost frustrating that people ask me to.
I follow the news around local data center resistance fairly closely. This one stands out.

Lessons were not learned in 2020
Far too many people are still committed to “race doesn’t matter here” and “my minority thing is worse than anti-Blackness and anti-Indigeneity”
That’s a white power move, fyi
A grape vineyard where a worker is cutting back the shoots the vine doesn’t need.
"Paz" sent this from where she's working in the grapes. "First I cut back the shoots the vine doesn’t need, then I tie the remaining ones together. When I'm tying them, they can snap back and hit me in the face. This hurts a lot. I work 8 hrs/day at min. wage." #WeFeedYou

Protesters in South Korea's capital, Seoul, rallied in solidarity with Palestinian and Iranian women on International Women’s Day, marching toward the US Embassy.
i wonder about people forming newsletter/blog collectives where they edit each other and get work out into the world together, not for the purposes of building a business, but for the purposes of doing good work, keeping the tools sharp, and speaking needed words into the world
it feels like a small thing in context of all of the other things but it is a piece of the larger authoritarian project that there are fewer places to publish essays now and the carefully edited essay as a public form for thinking and responding and criticizing and analyzing is in trouble, i think

Like… I’m glad they’re finally saying it. It’s an active decision to not direct this. It’s a capitulation. How can Mamdani be mad at NYU if his hospital system is making the same decision?
CBS obtained video of the DHS killing of an unarmed man in Texas that DHS concealed for nearly a year, which clearly contradicts claims that he violently rammed anyone. He is shot with his brake lights on, car not moving or barely moving. Another DHS crime.
Yes we did! I harped about it extensively starting in like 2015 or so, and absolutely no one wanted to hear anything about it, because you ladies are just being hysterical! that could NEVER HAPPEN, we have free speech here! Etc etc

Ugh, Department of War.
