A regional order organized around Israeli impunity requires levels of coercion that are accelerating American decline. The Gulf states understand this, though each nation is drawing different conclusions.

Iām not sure this is true. I think that trans & genderqueer spaces in particular have a lot of different positive visions for masculinity. The challenge is getting straight people to see them as a model.

I doubt anyone will read this on. Friday night, but also: Thereās no buffer against the perils of parenthood. Thereās no magic fix that will keep your kids typical or safe. Your typical child can become disabled later. You should learn how to accept and face disability rather than than fear it

Happy Pride to everyone. Thinking about how my late uncle Aveek (lost to the pandemic), who was the first openly queer person I knew, gently told me I was queer many years before I realised it myself (I denied it at the time). I think it was not long after the below book was published.
