I'm honored to get this award from the Association of Health Care Journalists for my 2025 series on detransition. I also appreciate what the judges said: That these stories call for more respect for gender identity shifts and better support from the medical community and LGBTQ+ organizations.

Meetings will continue today between the WNBA and WNBPA. This was communicated to reporters yesterday/this AM and reiterated to me just now by multiple sources. Yesterday both sides were bargaining for roughly 12 hours with no deal reached, yet. frontofficesports.com/wnba-cba-dea...

I know there's a lot of substantially important things in the world right now but I still feel like this place is limited in that an NBA player (never mind that he plays for my favorite team) scored 83 points and broke a record and I just see no substantive conversation about it
THREAD: I got laid off from NYMag/Vulture after 14 years. The family lost 75% of income + medical. Now mzs.press bookstore, once a side project. is do-or-die for Judith & I. I feel weird telling you this because others are doing much worse. But if you could like or share this, we'd be so grateful!

Washington-Baltimore News Guild@wbng.org · 6mo agoThe Washington-Baltimore News Guild strongly condemns the layoffs announced today at The Washington Post. These cuts represent yet another blow to a newsroom that has already been pushed to its limits and a disservice to the readers who rely on The Post for rigorous, independent journalism.
