For Trans Day of Remembrance, Miwok journalist Desiree Kane & I wrote this for @truthout.org, commemorating Nex Benedict 💜

We analyzed the relationship between the current anti-trans attacks & the historic, violent assimilation of Indigenous + Two Spirit people through the boarding school era.

Today is Transgender Day of Remembrance, which commemorates the lives of trans people killed in acts of anti-trans violence. Black transgender women, in particular, are disproportionately killed in the U.S., according to deaths tracked by the Human Rights Campaign.

I've been waiting YEARS for this...While job hunting in 2015, I attended tapings of daytime talk shows, including the Dr. Oz Show (see bottom left corner of photo below) Can confirm that he's into universal healthcare - all of us walked away with a free bottle of in-shower moisturizer. Go, health!
Screenshot of a live audience during a 2015 taping of the Dr. Oz Show. I am seated in the bottom left corner next to a display of ping pong balls and two plexiglass dishes, one of which is filled with blue water. During the show, a guest tossed balls into each dish. The empty dish repelled balls while the dish filled with water retained the balls, proving that skin needs moisture to retain additional moisture. The episode was sponsored by a Eucerin in-shower moisturizer. A day before the taping, The Dr. Oz Show's Audience Services sent an email to attendees, stating: "Dear ticketholder(s)We look forward to seeing you tomorrow morning! Due to the interactive nature of our show, we rely on our audience to participate with the day's theme—One of the chosen segments for tomorrow revolves around a girl's (other) best friend –HER MAKEUP BAG. This is where we need your help: We ask that ANY INTERESTED FEMALE AUDIENCE MEMBERS bring along their lipstick, blush and mascara. We will be on purse patrol- looking for those of you who go years without replacing your makeup essentials. Thanks in advance for joining in on the fun! Audience Services"
