One way I have found to mourn someone is to set up a monthly sustaining donation to a mutual aid effort they cared about. If you can join me in honoring Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social with a sustaining donation today, please do. Thank you Alice, and I will not let the bastards grind me down.

Trans rights are not the rights of a tiny minority, trans rights are everyone’s rights to self-determination, control of our bodies, and a society where opportunity and aesthetics are not restricted by sex assigned at birth
You should support and defend trans people because trans people are people

Proud to have worked on this story. Journalism spends so much time focusing on other industries — it’s worth turning that focus onto ourselves and asking the same questions.

"I can't believe The New York Times did this" Trans kids? Claudine Gay? Gaza? At some point we have to stop being surprised. The right sees the Times as a vehicle for laundering its conspiracy theories and injecting it into elite America and the Times is very happy to oblige them.

imagining a world where one of the only outlets able to hire journalists without relying on contractors, sub-$45k wages or both focused on the material conditions of the fascist state its readers live in as it ruins its safety net, instead of reporting someone's rejection from an Ivy as "news"
NYTimes opinion pages told people not to vote for Zohran because he's young and that Cuomo being a sex pest was less of a strike against him. now NYT reports a "leak" of him not getting into Columbia from a eugenicist co-reported by a guy who harasses trans women. boggles the mind, but also, typical
