How a local paper grappled with an anti-trans firestorm
~spoiler alert~ they turned to the Transgender Journalist Association for ways to cover the story ethically so as not cause harm to the young woman at the center of the firestorm.
Wish the NYT would take a lesson.

I want to do what I can to support the strike, and we all should, because if the ruling class sees that all they have to do is wait out a strike to keep stealing from all of us, they will keep that energy.
Writers and actors HAVE to win this, I truly believe that.

Imo these strikes are the most important systemic movement happening at all against fascism, government corruption, profiteering, and rampant consumerism in this society.
This is bigger than the entertainment industry, and we all need to get behind it.
