My Letter to the Editor in the @bostonglobe.com today, on the reality of living as a renter in a State that outlaws ANY regulation of rent increases. www.bostonglobe.com/2026/01/03/o... Very pleased to be published alongside a great letter from our Sen. Pat Jehlen

As we enter the New Year remember fear of making bad art is holding you back. Fear of people not liking your work is holding you back. Rejection is holding you back You'll make bad art, you'll have people not like your work, and you'll be rejected. Moving past it is half the job of being a creative

Less than a week after they were installed, many of the flex posts on the BU bridge have been destroyed by vehicles. Appreciate the thought but cyclists clearly need more protection at these intersections.

1. In Alaska, the right wing govt handpicked doctors to the Medical Board to ban trans youth care. A month after after, one anti-trans doctor was arrested for child porn. The day after he was bailed out, his home burned down, with reports suggesting he was found deceased. Our latest wild story.

@atnathanyaffe.bsky.social Hey Nathan, I went back to watch the beginning of Emily's BG3 playthrough on your channel and decided to draw your characters! please forgive the roughness I haven't drawn in 2 months

@gvg.io I like you

The 6th Circuit has been competing to be the most anti-trans circuit in America and is now carving out a right to bully transgender kids. Despicable.

1. A federal judge has just ruled in favor of 16 states and schools that refuse to comply with Trumps trans ban demand. The administration is threatening to pull tens of millions in federal sex ed funding. Now, they will be blocked. Subscribe to support my journalism.

Had an amazing time visiting @doublefine.com last night to tour their studio and play some of their new game, Keeper!

Val and I checked repeatedly because we simply couldn't believe no national or local news organizations covered this letter from 18 AGs in support of trans youth care and against FTC overreach. If you find any stories, let us know, but it seems to be our exclusive.

It's like a Choose Your Own Hatch Act Violation.

The union representing the musicians from Jimmy Kimmel’s band releases a statement calling the FCC’s pressure on Disney “state censorship.”

I have to keep looking at these maps to remind myself that my position, as an adult trans person in Massachusetts, is by far the most stable situation for a trans person in the entire country. The threat to trans people is not future or speculative. It is here, ongoing, spreading, and worsening.

1. On Saturday, a judge ordered Pulse pride crosswalk protester released from jail. Police arrested him after he chalked the bottom of his shoe in rainbow colors and walked across it. Sunday, police arrested 3 more under the same charges. Subscribe to support my journalism.

🚨 The CDC as we know it is being severely altered tonight. In addition to the CDC director being ousted, the Post is reporting that several senior leaders are leaving as well. Here are from two of the resignations:

1. Michigan's AG Dana Nessel has issued a threat to University of Michigan Health's capitulation to Trump after it banned trans care for youth. She calls their decision likely in violation of state nondiscrimination law, considers action against the hosptial. Subscribe to support our journalism.

NEW 🚨 The violence is the point. Elected Dems must call for widespread resignations (RFK, Bhattacharya, Prasad) in response to the CDC shooting. Public health must demand this of them, and the public must demand that of us. With @publichealthguy1.bsky.social in STAT: www.statnews.com/2025/08/15/c...

New — I wrote about the violent assault on a DC delivery worker this morning by masked federal agents, and how these agents have made the disturbing turn from quiet thugs to playing for the cameras.

Well done, folks. This is the inevitable world that all the assholes just asking questions were leading us to. Hope you're proud of yourselves.

Nothing beats your home national park with friends. Glaicer National Park, and we caught bighorn sheep hopping off their rock.

Shame is one of the hardest things about ADHD for me. I'm back and the book is finished but instead of feeling proud, I feel ashamed for not having managed to stay active, manage my household better or even shower regularly.

1. Florida has subpoenaed a drag bar for a list of attendees to a drag show, in what could be a new first for anti-trans and anti-LGBTQ+ legislation. Their goal is to end drag in the state. Subscribe to support our journalism.

ugh I had a headache most of yesterday, then I woke up in the middle of the night with 8/10 pain period cramps, the likes of which I have not seen for many many years. do I still need to work today? 😞

it was never just about kids

Congress just passed a bill that takes healthcare and food assistance from the poor, and puts money in the pockets of the rich. More in my latest for @nytopinion.nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

1) He’a literally from Uganda born to Indian parents. 2) This should show how much of a hack both Ben Ryan and the New York Times is on so many other topics. I’ve watched them pull this shit with trans healthcare for the last 5 years. Drop your NYT sub.

I'm really glad the anti-trans Medicaid exclusions were removed from Trump's billionaire bailout but a bill that still kicks 20 million (largely working class) people off their health insurance is still going to have a disastrous impact including and especially on trans people. Kill the bill.

1. Today, 200,000 marched in Budapest Pride in defiance of a ban by Orbán's far-right government. It was led by the city's mayor Gergely Karácsony, who got around the law by making it an "official city gathering." He was warned of arrest. They marched anyway. Subscribe to support my journalism.

The New York Times is back at it again (derogatory). An upcoming New York Times podcast on trans youth healthcare used audio from the mother of a trans girl against her will, after producers caught a vulnerable moment on tape.

Got my switch 2! I arrived at Target 15 minutes before opening. There were 6 people in front of me. They gave out tickets as we came in. Everyone in line ( maybe 12?) got one. My Target preorder, however, still says June 11th and hasn't shipped. I'll be selling it to my sister.

Remembering Dr. Alan Hart for Pride, trans man from the early 1900s. He revolutionized the detection of tuberculosis, saved thousands of lives, and died using his name, as the man he always was meant to be. We have always been here.

You never want a judge to refer you for criminal contempt proceedings, but that is what is happening here.

Briones didn’t even get to the question of whether the Alien Enemies Act was involved lawfully — because the government’s evidence was so incredibly weak! All the government had was hearsay. It had NOTHING ELSE. Briones was not happy. Full decision here: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

this court opinion is nice and gives me some faith in humanity. Particularly, it gives me faith in Judge Reyes.
