I’ve been thinking this since the theme was announced, honestly didn’t want to cover it. but targeting of Black & queer art at major institutions (ugh Kennedy Center) made the #metgala felt more important than it had in years. praise @taylorcrumpton.bsky.social for answering my last-minute call.

this justification — life and health — is so important to remember because the laws are making these things WORSE.
the Supreme Court ruled the same on a previous Texas law, concluding the “state’s evidence did not show how the law advanced its legitimate interest in protecting women’s health.”

a brilliant exercise for a reporter. I didn’t know anything about her friend (politics, background) I focused on verifiable info on the effects of the laws i.e. peer reviewed studies, news edited by real editors like @propublica.org and @texastribune.org, reputable NGOs like @commonwealthfund.org
