I have no desire to hold public office & am entirely unelectable besides. my recreational habits in 1986 alone disqualify me. but I'm running for president anyway & my entire platform is "when you need your health care provider, you get a live operator every time." I will win in a landslide
It’s true, in the past I would have had multiple editors in my inbox asking me to write about the Cunningham stuff. I haven’t gotten a single assignment request. Trans writers used to be tokenized to write about these things but now that the topic is “mainstream,” those bylines go elsewhere.
I need people to understand that for the last half decade that there’s been an ecosystem of trans folks in sports media who have worked unpaid to serve as experts for context, sources and educators on what it’s like for trans athletes, in hopes of potential bylines and contacts. That’s dried up.
If you’d like to read the report exposing the anti trans people ‘Gender Critical’ movement in the UK - which sadly Amnesty took down after bottling it due to legal threats from the Edinburgh Funder - here it is. Like_a_snowball_final_.pdf - Google Drive drive.google.com/file/d/1PSsa...

Baltimore police have literally shut down Fells Point on weekends. Street barricades. Checking ID. All to discourage gatherings of teenagers. The downside -- fewer customers overall. One business owner said business is down 22% wbaltv.com/article/fell...

Just watched a documentary on Netflix about the late great opinion writer and journalist, Molly Ivins. She had a unique voice and style all her own. Here she is telling a very short story with a great punchline and a moral. youtu.be/WXToviObdoA?...

Bluesky's new CEO Toni Schneider on the platform's reputation for being a liberal bubble: "Yes, we definitely want that to change. It is already changing. It certainly wasn’t designed to attract one specific group of people."

A Mormon Border Patrol agent sexually abused all 6 of his children for years. He confessed as much to his bishop, who did not report it. Instead the bishop told the wife ... who was later sentenced to jail for not reporting it. The bishop? The AZ Supreme Court says he did nothing wrong.

U.S. Border Patrol agent Paul Adams sexually abused all six his children for at least seven years before he was caught. He killed himself after being charged, but not before…

This is really depressing. Neko Case doesn't name names, and nor does she need to, but I believe her. If anything, she tends to be honest to a fault--this post illustrates exactly what I mean--and abso-fucking-lutely does not hold back (except for said dude's name). [ht: @rahnealexander.com]
IN WHAT FUCKING UNIVERSE?
This last week I was just cookin’ along minding my business when I suddenly found myself quite depressed.

You have to vote with your wallet, people. The same goes for books — if you are mostly buying books that are already mega bestsellers or by mega-bestselling authors, then you're sending a message. Seek out the weird indie shit so we get more of it.
This seems like a good time to post @kurtandersen.bsky.social ‘s story about RFK jr dealing cocaine at Harvard www.theatlantic.com/politics/arc...

@moiradonegan.bsky.social notes "“If this was true, I would be in jail” is not a real profession of innocence; it is a brag about how strenuously the state protects the male right of private sphere violence against women and children."
We spent early July watching Graham Platner's campaign implode because of abuse; now it's a Republican's turn. Let all this be a reminder of how pervasive violence against women and children is across the political spectrum.
After Max Miller’s statement, Bernie Moreno finally issues a statement denouncing Miller, saying he needs psychological help and should not be in Congress.
