Stand with Condé Nast Union 🚨 We’re calling on you to sign our petition telling management to reinstate the Fired Four, reverse the suspensions, and end the union busting. Sign here: actionnetwork.org/petitions/te...

I'm one of the four fired employees. I was a writer & producer at Bon Appétit for nearly five years, during which I helped organize our union and sat on our bargaining committee. I am, to my knowledge, the only trans woman in our union and the only trans woman on editorial who doesn't work at Them

new video all about KISSING!!!

new from me on casa susanna and the reexamination of a long-dormant chapter in trans archival history

i had vouchers and was in a Mood

asked my mom what movie she wanted to see while she’s in town thinking it would be an easy lock for SPRINGSTEEN and she picked BUGONIA…let’s go, girls

Honestly we'd be a much better world if all art from over fifty years ago were just available for free instead of locked behind pay-to-watch streamers, overpriced home video releases, or just non-existent beyond piracy. Public domain takes too long and copyright owners usually suck.

got the gang together to reccomend some good, gay horror films for halloween 🎃 featuring musings on KNIFE+HEART, HELLRAISER, THELMA, and more 👻

for Slate I wrote about AI seeping its tentacles into real estate! AKA people are seeing entirely AI-rendered property listings that are nothing like what they tour IRL slate.com/business/202...

NBC News has reportedly eliminated its NBC BLK, NBC Asian America, NBC Latino and NBC OUT teams

may be more relevant as a vibe shift than as policy shift—because decrim requires changes to state laws, and also because there will be no meaningful decrim in NYC with the NYPD we have. I would be asking a lot more re: how he'd get the NYPD to abide *any* policy change he wants to make

remembering miss major in her own words 💔

The trailblazing transgender rights activist Miss Major has passed away at the age of 78. Miss Major was a lifelong organizer and participant in the ballroom scene. She took part in the 1969 Stonewall Riots and was injured by the police — but she kept fighting.

saw god at butttootking

Mamdani talking lucidly and passionately about trans rights and history in a video that should frankly shame every politician who has hemmed and hawed and triangulated and said, "Well, but sports..." It's not that hard to tell the truth and stand for what's right. www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEvV...

new: elon musk and libs of tiktok are having a meltdown over a trans character in an animated show from three years ago

"We live in this world, where queer women are cannon fodder on The Real Housewives and a growing national backlash against their identities only deepens the tragedy of that longstanding wartime strategy."

i wrote about the case for taking the rock seriously as an actor and the parallels between his character in the smashing machine + the trappings of his own massive fame 🥊🤼🏆 www.yahoo.com/entertainmen...

This is the biggest, toughest article I’ve done about so-called “AI psychosis.” It’s the story of a man who committed a horrific crime in his youth but served his time and against all odds found love and a new life—one that completely unraveled after he started talking to Google’s Gemini chatbot.

new from me: the Canadian government is officially warning travelers with "x" gender markers that they could face problems entering the U.S.
