Nobody Wants to Be a Foodie
How “foodie” went from badge of honor to cringey term to pejorative smear and all the way back again.

it seems to me that the outlets that are doing well are the ones funding well-researched and thoroughly reported journalism. compromising on either of those pieces triggers a death spiral of losing staff and audiences

Only 1 person in the whole study went from identifying as trans to not identifying as trans. The 1/5 number came from youth going between the binary and non-binary spectrum. This headline and post are misleading on purpose to fit the economist's editorial bent on the political issue.

Every TERF's complaint is just another mirror on their own empty ideology. The body of this post is her describing ways she sees pro-trans language as violent

Today, the UN officially designated Israel’s assault on Gaza as a genocide. As a party to the Genocide Convention, the U.S. has a legal obligation to obey our own laws, stop weapons sales to Israel, and demand a permanent ceasefire. End the genocide. Ceasefire now.

from my latest: "The trans-shooter myth largely began circulating in 2023 around the Nashville shooting, 'as the right began rolling back LGBTQ rights in earnest'... Two years later, and just a decade after the so-called trans tipping point, anti-trans harassment and violence is all the rage."

extra stupid because most elite schools are basically factories that produce tech/finance/consulting employees. money has been flowing away from the humanities for decades and even nominally progressive students are regularly funneled into extremely conservative industries

University of Michigan Hospital are spineless cowards willing to comply in advance at the expense of trans children's health and well-being. Nothing but shame to all who refuse to defend trans youths access to life-saving care. Reminder HRT saves lives limits on HRT cost cost them.

All of this while the C-suite is refusing to talk to employees, skipping town halls, and ignoring emails/slacks from Union members. No one has any clue what's going on

Just days ago we were told by @CondeNast management about the health of the company, that while it’s a challenging time for the media, it’s not a particularly scary time for us. So why MORE layoffs?

if you are transgender you need an annoying coffee routine. if you don't accomplish anything else, fine. but you need an annoying, hyper specific, overly involved coffee routine.
