Where is the music at.
Also, because I’m someone who is very into accountability when mistakes are made, please accept my apology @voidfemme.bsky.social. The wall is up right now and I apologize for being defensive.
Uh It’s actually more scary to see a supposed journalist hopping into what is, according to your story, some rando’s mentions to hurl ableist insults and gaslight? This isn’t a good look for public facing relations. It’s gross and weird and making you look guiltier.

I messed up. This person is actually right. I misread.

Please note that @taylorlorenz.bsky.social continued harassment & behavior falls right in line with the behavior I spoke about. Which is the same behavior that got her fired from NYT, and chased out of the Washington post.

Keep going sweetie.

Saying a Black woman isn’t real, is AI, is a part of a “right wing smear campaign,” is “crazy” for recounting her experience with your abusive behavior, all while platforming a TERF -all while avoiding accountability for violent behavior and your poor writing - makes you a White Supremacist.
telling a gay man defending a woman "she's not going to strap it on for you" is homophobic, on top of the other misogynistic commentary you've made here.
March 1, 2024 at 9:28 PM
According to her grandmother, you have not been in touch with her at all. Because again, you don’t know anything. And you prove it daily.

Make a public apology to Nex’s family for platforming a TERF when you were supposed to be speaking on Nex’s legacy. Take responsibility for the damage you did.
I have been in touch w Nex's family through their lawyer since before my story even ran. You have not. That letter is public, not photoshopped at all, u can reach out to the NYT directly to confirm that, but we all know you won't bc u are lying. I also have not left WaPo. You are once again lying
March 1, 2024 at 9:19 PM
Again @taylorlorenz.bsky.social. Let’s stop talking about why you were fired from NYT. We know. Let’s focus on your 2 defamation lawsuits, thousands of complaints, accusations of plagiarism, creating a toxic work environment at WaPo, and when you’re going to apologize to Nex Benedict’s family.
March 1, 2024 at 9:15 PM
Unlike you, I didn’t get fired from the NYT and then photoshop a letter to protect your dying career. I also wasn’t ran out of WaPo for another downgrade to… vox? LOL sweetie. No one will ever believe you.

Apologize to Nex’s family, fake journalist.
Unlike you, I know Karl. He's not talking about me, he's talking about grifters and others such as yourself who will do/say whatever lie they need to for attention
March 1, 2024 at 9:12 PM
So now you’re going to mule a Black woman - that you thought was running an AI smear campaign - into doing the labor of proving you weren’t fired, when everyone knows you were, instead of proving actual proof.

Yikes. When does the bigotry stop with you sweetheart.
Email David at NYT yourself, there's nothing about that letter that's photoshopped or plagiarized(!?) you are actually insane it's scary. NYT comms also issued a statement publicly on us winning the suit against the anti-trans right wing law firm u keep boosting/defending twitter.com/NYTimesPR/st...

You are very welcome. With the onslaught of fraudulent writers and journalists, we will need people like you.
thanks for reading 🙏
March 1, 2024 at 9:08 PM
Taylor. Get out my mentions. Apologize to Nex Benedict’s family. Go to journalism school. Stop irritating and arguing with people at WaPo. Because unless the person in that photoshopped letter you keep posting wants to call me and verify it himself, I don’t believe you. Never will.

The tension between big news outlets with staff writers and indie journalists scooping them is reaching a boiling point.

I wrote about how the Aaron Bushnell and Nex Benedict coverage laid that bare: www.thehandbasket.co/p/aaron-bush...
The man—and the media—on fire
The coverage of Aaron Bushnell’s self-immolation, the undeniability of his protest, and the power of independent journalism.

"It also helped that [Talia] Jane really was the first to report it, setting the predicate for subsequent coverage ... [S]he had to work hard to convince larger, corporate-owned outlets that this story was exactly what it appeared to be: a protest in response to the genocide of civilians in Gaza."

These weirdos keep popping into the mentions thinking it will deter me or like I won’t continue making examples of their embarrassing clout chase for Taylor’s attention. Not going to work.

Nah. That bitch was fired & now the kids at WaPo are popping up with their own stories. Taylor is who she is.
March 1, 2024 at 8:41 PM
Yikes. Not gay White males out here hoping Taylor will strap it on and give them attention on the internet and the love they missed out on from the parents who abandoned him.

Their whiteness and proximity to capitalism will outweigh their sexuality and gender every time. Again, par for course.
You really need some help.

Now let’s remember. I didn’t tell that story to “take down” @taylorlorenz.bsky.social. Mediocre white women are protected by hegemony and can’t be taken down.

I told that story because EVERYONE, especially from clubhouse or Twitter spaces era, has the exact same experience with this sociopath. +

Hey @taylorlorenz.bsky.social. They’re talking about you. Fight back sweetie. Nobody likes you.
the utter immolation of journalism and its replacement with a rotating crop of shallow and distracting infotainment engagement bait is a 100% intentional endeavor by those with wealth and power, and you should laugh at anybody who tries to suggest otherwise.
March 1, 2024 at 5:51 PM
Yikes. @taylorlorenz.bsky.social still having a breakdown in my mentions. Meanwhile:

*Still hasn’t apologized to Nex’s family
*Still bullying people online
*Still racist
*2 or 3 court cases pending on her shitty career
*People from WaPo are coming forward with their stories of her bully behavior.
March 1, 2024 at 5:46 PM
How many times is this TERFy, racist bully going to cut and paste this photoshopped shit at me… but not address her disrespect of Nex Benedict.

If it doesn’t apply, let it fly. But it applies. Which is why she’s crying.

White female delusion is dangerous. Stop platforming gossip columnists.
You have lost touch with reality and I hope you seek help because the level of delusion you have is scary
March 1, 2024 at 5:41 PM
@taylorlorenz.bsky.social crying because she was exposed for being fired instead of focusing on the dead child and people she harmed. Whiteness centering itself even when death in involved.
Mind you whatever else the hell we get from this

THIS STARTED BECAUSE A KID WAS KILLED

and two dizzy broads both racist had a comedy sessions folks mistook for a journalism

When both made a spectacle of debating the humanity of people they don’t belief deserve fair representation

But less on me, and more on why we’re here: Jude Doyle and their MAGNIFICENT piece exposing @taylorlorenz.bsky.social’s mediocre journalism, clout chasing, TERF platforming, and more.

Wild how whiteness will defend TERFy bitches for attention. Imagine embarrassing yourself for some attention from Taylor. How sad. If your parents didn’t love you just say that.
