I sent an email this afternoon to the reporters of that Wall Street Journal article asking them to change the headline and body of the article to confirm trans people had nothing to do with the motives of the assassin. No response. Instead, WSJ posted an editor's note and kept the headline. Classy.

So many many months ago, a bidder in this charity auction won the custom crocheted blanket item I offered. She gleefully selected her colors and then showed extraordinary patience as I blew multiple aspirational completion dates.
But it's done and ready to ship.
