Every time she comes up, I remind you all that Pamela Paul killed a pro trans paragraph in a review I wrote for the New York Times, lied about it in the press, then when I confronted her with receipts, said “Let’s keep this to ourselves.”
In which a straight woman highlights a bunch of known anti trans activists and claims there's a divide in the queer community.
It's pure propaganda and gaslighting.

Praising the “prosperity” of the dictatorship while blithely ignoring its repression, a far-right manifesto in Spain is part of a larger effort—Platform 2025—to protest the government’s plans to commemorate the transition to democracy on the semicentennial of Franco’s death later this year.

Told a local in #Seoul that I loved his shoes in the elevator ride down to the lobby.
Later that night, I was waiting for the same elevator and he exited with his wife/girlfriend and his face lit up, he pointed me out to her and whispered in her ear, then they both smiled.
It’s a little things.
