New Research: Reduction in suicidality following hormone therapy was consistent for #trans adolescents across age at treatment initiation, sex assigned at birth and the duration of the treatment.

BREAKING: Newly released data from the federal government shows 91,000 Black women became unemployed in September 2025. www.bls.gov/news.release...

A world without transgender people has never existed and never will. To all transgender people out there: You are not alone.

1. The Trump administration has just quietly updated the State Department website to indicate that it may invalidate transgender people's passports. This comes a week after a SCOTUS ruling blocking lower rulings allowing trans people to update them. Subscribe to support our journalism.

57% of all ad spending by Republicans in the Virginia governors race was on anti trans ads. Just an incredibly mismanaged campaign. Anti-trans politics are a losing issue.

I remind people not to panic. The Federal Government has never provided benefits to anyone. It has been their friends, neighbors and family that pay taxes that provide. The Government only distributes. Friends neighbors and family are still there to help one another. Let's look out for one another.

Some of the same #Russian tanks that crushed the 1956 #Hungary uprising are likely being used in #Ukraine. Excellent coverage of anti-Orban movement to remove the tyrant who changed their constitution so he could remain in power (since 2010). RadioFreeEurope, 3mins www.youtube.com/watch?v=2exD...

Imagine if other mainstream artists did this on tour. Imagine if they brought tables to their venues to explain to fans why this is so important. It would change the conversation profoundly. This is important.

“The Purdue student newspaper owns its own presses” is the sound of engines revving

Administrators at Indiana University baselessly fired the student media director and ordered the student paper to cease its print edition, so it'd sure be a shame if this excellent digital front page were to be widely shared today issuu.com/idsnews/docs...

Today my @nytimes.com colleagues and I are launching a new series called Lost Science. We interview US scientists who can no longer discover something new about our world, thanks to this year‘s cuts. Here is my first interview with a scientist who studied bees and fires. Gift link: nyti.ms/3IWXbiE

Looking forward to celebrating wonderful @writesloud.bsky.social debut with this killer cast of characters:

it's so nice to see what a functioning judiciary looks like "A transgender woman in the East African nation of Kenya has won a landmark court victory in which the judge not only found in her favour, but ordered the government to pass a Transgender Protection Rights Act." fuck yeah

Reminder: independent journalism only works when communities support it. Mississippi Free Press depends on folks like you who believe in accountability, transparency and truth. givebutter.com/mfpdonate

I’m the happy host of a new website. Swing by & say hi!

I polled my trans lit class on what made them enroll in the course. The answers were pretty much all “I’m trans” or “I have a friend or family member who is trans and I want to understand them better.” There are plenty of people who care and want to stand by us in this moment.

BREAKING: Big moment as CDC staff stage a mass walkout. They have lined the street outside its HQ to greet and salute the four top officials who have resigned in protest at RFK Jr’s attack on the agency’s science base. (🎥 AP)

I have a book imprint & this week a new title is out, an essay collection about living with PTSD and moving forward from trauma but it’s also about being young, misadventure, motherhood and opening up to love again.

Tonight I am teaching a class in speculative nonfiction, and a new (to me) piece that I'm including is this perfect, devastating snippet of "what if" from Sarah Cedeño at @dintywmoore.bsky.social. You should read it. brevitymag.com/nonfiction/f...

This is being misreported, and I think it's important to correctly frame it, so that folks don't sound clownish when they're advocating for trans service members. The Air Force is denying *early retirement* to trans service members who have served 15-18 years and are being forced out. (thread)

Happy to share my August writing prompt on From the Bookshelf. Enjoy!

This afternoon, the Trump administration officially shut down the LGBTQ Youth Specialized Services program within the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline. The program allowed callers under 25 to speak with counselors trained to support LGBTQ youth, an option that has now been eliminated.

1. Earlier this year, Trump erased transgender people from the Stonewall National Monument webpage, digitally burning the history we helped create. Now, he's doing the same to bisexual people. No marginalized group will be safe from the admin's moving targets. Subscribe to support our journalism.

In case you missed it: the Wisconsin Supreme Court just upheld a ban on conversion therapy. Huge win for LGBTQ rights. newrepublic.com/post/197704/...

Large turnout at Budapest Pride defies Orban's ban in Hungary | AFP youtu.be/A1odosq6a3s?...

Orban banned Pride demonstrations in Hungary, but today’s march in Budapest drew record crowds in defiance: amp.cnn.com/cnn/2025/06/...

Viktor Orban banned pride events in Hungary, the people took it as a challenge and just had the largest pride march in their country's history.

Hungary banned Pride marches. This is the response ✊🏳️‍🌈
