Wild how the Boy Mayor age for cis white men overlaps with the geriatric pregnancy age

Thanks for your email! I'm currently busy weeping about a whale, but I'll get back to you as soon as I can

Today is my birthday. I would like many things but from you specifically I want $2,500 for @scarleteen.com's annual fundraiser, which is supporting staff & volunteer healthcare this year. We need $2,500 to unlock a $10,000 match and this would really make my day! Donate to my campaign page here.

my maybe controversial woke take is that we need to bring the same "abolish the police" energy to the medical profession, and I don't just mean health insurance companies

Did you catch me on Rising Up With Sonali earlier this year? I spoke about a campaign in St. Louis to end tax breaks for companies like Boeing and ICL Group, which produce weapons and chemicals used in Israel's genocide. Listen here and follow host @ruwithsonali.bsky.social. 🎧

Tribal leaders and environmental advocates remain committed to remediating dwindling wild salmon populations in the Pacific Northwest after Trump backed out of the historic Resilient Columbia Basin Agreement last June. Read my coverage and learn how you can get involved.

I will give $3 to whomever can find a picture of customs and border patrol commander Greg "The Bull" Bovino of Blowing Rock, NC, as a fighter in the 1995 Toughman Contest held in Asheville, NC. Fuck ICE.

Saja, Rehab's daughter, sent me these videos of their tent. They were trying to raise funds on a new fundraiser, already difficult, but didn't get what they needed before this disaster. Please do all you can, my friends. No donations in almost a month 🥲 They are verified ✅ shorturl.at/dH2qB

We will get through this by doing what we have always done, showing up for each other.

Today marked Day One of Customs and Border Patrol’s Charlotte Operation. And as we’ve come to expect from these operations, federal agents targeted workers throughout Charlotte and the surrounding areas.

One of the great heartbreaks of being in the disability community is how often we lose people and how many of our most powerful voices have gone silent. We must live our lives loudly and joyously in their honor and remember that our very existence is resistance.

Y'all — As a journalist covering global health and environmental disparities, I've lived in Atlanta car-free since 2018 because that is the easiest way to put my money where my mouth is! I am organizing a half-marathon length bike ride to support my newsroom, and I'd love for you to be my sponsor:

I started cataloging indie media sites because I felt like I kept learning about great publications as they were shutting down indie-media.sidget.com

We are 48% of the way to our November fundraising goal? What can you do to help us get to 50% today? We are an independant nonprofit and rely entirely on your support to keep our work going! Right now the average donation is $225, let's see some $25 donations! fundrazr.com/niche2025?re...

Another one bites the dust. I'm thrilled that The Appeal's work will live on in some form (seems similar to the arrangement with Yes! Media, which shuttered earlier this year). But it's hard not to feel like independent journalism committed to holding power to account is bleeding out.

One way I have found to mourn someone is to set up a monthly sustaining donation to a mutual aid effort they cared about. If you can join me in honoring Alice Wong, @sfdirewolf.bsky.social with a sustaining donation today, please do. Thank you Alice, and I will not let the bastards grind me down.

I usually share a new Palestinian account every day but today I am going to do a thread of people I’ve already verified impacted by the recent flooding in Gaza. If you can help any of these families- many who lost everything again- please do. edition.cnn.com/2025/11/14/m...

‘Death remains my intimate shadow partner. It has been with me since birth, always hovering close by. I understand one day we will finally waltz together into the ether. I hope when that time comes, I die with the satisfaction of a life well-lived, unapologetic, joyful, & full of love.’ —Alice Wong

I spend A LOT of volunteer time supporting the work of people who make 10s of $1000s (sometimes 100,000+) more than me, so yes, I think you can spare $25 annually to support me, precarious contributors, & @nichecanada.bsky.social broadly. fundrazr.com/niche2025?re... #envhist #envhum #cdnhist

Have you checked out my coverage of @techforpalestine.org? The business incubator is dedicated to strengthening pro-human rights projects within the technology industry, starting with the rights of Palestinians.

Friend's kid emptied their juice pouch at school lunch, blew it up, set it on the ground and stomped on it (storied tradition, I'm told). Another kid's parent has just sent my friend a bill for $70+ because "flecks" of juice on her kid's sweater from this incident apparently won't wash out. Wwyd?

When the FDA approved updated COVID-19 vaccines back in August, it also imposed new restrictions on who is eligible to get them — restrictions that have made it harder for the nation's most vulnerable people to access a life-saving vaccine. Here's my reporting on the issue.

Disability justice activists were an important part of grassroots efforts to shut down Atlanta’s Cop City. I covered their work in this piece — worth revisiting as we think about who is most vulnerable to the growing police violence in our cities and how we can come together against it.

Earlier this year, I spoke with Josh Armstrong about LGBTQ+ life in East Germany. We covered the origins of an organized gay movement and how its leaders understood socialism. Check it out here:

Instead of kings, plutocrats, and generals, a new kind of historical walking tour focuses on the people they repressed, and tells a more complete story. This is one of the more uplifting pieces tucked away in my archive.

🚨 BREAKING: Human Rights Campaign has confirmed that it is no longer sponsored by weapons manufacturers Northrop Grumman and RTX/Raytheon. This follows a two-year campaign from Adalah Justice Project, Gender Liberation Movement, ACT UP New York, and others who insisted there's #NoPrideInGenocide 🌈

This OOO response I just got has incredible energy: "Thanks for your message. I'm currently on leave and will be back in January 2026. To start with a clean slate, I plan to delete all emails upon my return." 🤌

"My father remained at the Texas detention center until October. During those six months, he went completely blind in one eye and lost most of the vision in the other, because he wasn’t receiving adequate medical care for his Type 2 diabetes."

You know democracy is going great when your senators turn off their voicemails so they don’t have to hear from voters.

I'll be retiring my early supporter deal at the end of the year, so if you want a monthly subscription at a discount, now's the time! 🫰

a few months ago I said "having generative AI handle absolutely anything with regards to healthcare is a nightmare and should be banned" and a bunch of people made fun of me and called me stupid. anyways,

Anthropic is advertising a couple of writer jobs with minimum starting salaries of over a quarter of a million dollars. Makes you wonder about the newsrooms that have bought into the bullshit line that Anthropic et al.'s tech can replace anything a writer does.

Here's one from the archives: Labor organizers can take steps to preserve their documents and strategies, so future workers will have a practical guide. Read my reporting on how museum workers at the Philadelphia Museum of Art did just that. ✊
