Wikipedia has been doing some really awesome social media posts. They've been hiring artists & animators to talk about random Wikipedia articles or explain how it works. They could have just hired influencers, or made text posts. But this feels much more wholesome, more grassroots. I love it

I’m stepping into the writing world. Just dipping a toe in right now. But I have already had a couple of kind & welcoming interactions. The pessimism I’ve encountered online in general does not quite reach here the same. A breath of fresh air. #writing

Wow emailed the mayor about my concerns regarding his treatment of trans New Yorkers and they replied?? With specific details about what they’re doing to protect trans New Yorkers?? Mamdani is FAR from perfect but I’ve never had a government agency reply to an email I’ve sent before.

Dear Ms. Biba: Thank you for your email. I appreciate your taking the time to write and share your concerns about the rights and safety of transgender New Yorkers. Our Administration is committed to ensuring that every transgender and gender nonconforming New Yorker can live with dignity and access to the resources they need. Over the past several months, we have taken significant action to protect and expand the rights of trans New Yorkers. Earlier this year, we established the Mayor's Office of LGBTQIA+ Affairs, the first citywide office solely dedicated to the health, safety, and dignity of queer New Yorkers. We also launched "Trans Rights are Human Rights," a citywide public awareness campaign appearing across print advertisements, public transit, and LinkNYC kiosks, reminding New Yorkers that discrimination based on gender identity is illegal in housing, employment, and public spaces.On health care, we have made a $15 million investment to expand access to gender-affirming care: establishing a direct care access fund for providers serving transgender youth, launching a call and text line connecting New Yorkers to care and resources, and funding research to identify gaps in health care access for transgender and gender nonconforming New Yorkers. The City is also prepared to defend that care legally. Our Law Department has submitted an amicus brief opposing subpoenas that sought the medical records of transgender patients, and we stand ready to litigate any threat to gender-affirming care for youth and adults. Every New Yorker deserves to live with dignity and respect, and this City will use every tool at its disposal to protect those rights. Sincerely, Zohran Kwame Mamdani Mayor
